Nightmare service from Afrihost!

The CEO of Afrihost, Gian Visser, should be embarassed about how bad the company's service has gotten.<br> <br> 1. My PA enquired about buying Wifi today via live chat. The transcript she sent me is laughable. One can make no sense of it at all<br> <br> 2. I bought a domain from your website. Purchase was confirmed. The day AFTER I bought it your staff email to say it's not available for purchase. Then they tell me I must watch till the domain ownership lapses in a few months time and reorder it. Nobody offered a refund.<br> <br> After enduring unhelpful emails from Pakistanis and Indians who now comprise your support staff, I called your Johannesburg office and dealt with Gary Deconnick. <br> <br> I spent 30 minutes explaining the issues to him, then Gary then sends an email cancelling my domain! I'd just explained to him that I want it! <br> <br> IT staff I've spoken to say it's a complete joke that Afrihost doesn't watch for the domain lapse. This is what reputable ISPs do!<br> <br> Gian Visser, I suggest you ramp up your service delivery fast because I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Your live chat is a joke & so are your \support staff"! Stop paying ******s to deliver peanuts!<br> <br> Avoid Afrihost SA"

Hello timeout,

We are sorry that you have had a poor experience.

We do however take offence at your inference regarding \Pakistani's and Indians, the race or culture of any of the support staff we employ has no bearing on their ability to provide the services we offer. We do view this as highly inappropriate and unprofessional. Please note that such behaviour violates our Acceptable Use Policy
