Mweb bad service.
My fibre has been down for the past 4+ hours. Tried to obtain assistance through theMweb app. From 18:42 and it's 21:02 and I'm still in the queue. Tried WhatsApp and managed to get through to Refiole. Been answering questions for the past 2 hours. It took me 9 min to respond to one of the questions and then the chat was ended. I waisted two hours of my evening and now they tell me the technical support team is closed? Is this why they ended my 2 hour chat, so they can go home? My fibre was down yesterday as well. I signed up two months ago and this is the shocking service I receive. I signed for a R589 package and Im being billed over R600 on top of this all. I'm canceling my debit order tomorrow, this bad service is not worth my time.

We can see how disruptive this must be, especially when the fibre damage appears to be linked to external civil works in your area. We understand how important it is to get this restored as quickly as possible so your connection can be brought back online.We’ve logged this with our technical team for immediate attention under reference MWB***4. The team will assess the fault and engage the relevant fibre network provider (MetroFibre) to arrange a technician for the necessary repairs.Please note that with this type of external infrastructure damage, restoration timelines are dependent on the fibre network provider’s site assessment and repair schedule, but we will continue to follow up on your behalf to ensure progress is made.We’ll keep the reference active and update you as soon as feedback is received from the technical team.Kind regards,

Thank you for your continued patience throughout this process. We understand how frustrating this experience must have been, especially with the delay in getting a technician out to repair the visibly damaged fibre cable and the impact this had on your day to day connectivity. We are glad to hear that the fibre technicians have now attended to the issue and that repair work has taken place. That said, your experience with the response time and overall handling of the fault has fallen short of the standard we aim to provide.
Your feedback will be shared with our Customer Journey Team to review and identify improvements in how faults of this nature are prioritised and resolved.

We understand how frustrating it must be to experience unexpected downtime, especially when your connection is needed and you are looking for immediate assistance.
We`ve checked your line and there are currently no outages detected in your area. To help restore your connection, please restart both your router and your MetroFibre ONT. Once restarted, allow a few minutes and test your connection again.
If the issue continues, please let us know what each light is doing on your MetroFibre ONT. These checks are required by MetroFibre before a line fault can be logged, as they assist in identifying the fault and help avoid unnecessary call out charges.
Please send us a direct message on Hello Peter with your findings, and we will guide you on the next steps and ensure this is taken forward promptly.

Despite this, I was instructed to repeat the same troubleshooting process that had already been completed two weeks prior, causing unnecessary delays. More concerning, my active Metrofibre ticket was cancelled yesterday at 13:27—32 hours into the callout timeframe—without resolution.
A new ticket was logged yesterday at 16:06, which has now reset the 72 working hour period and further prolonged my fibre downtime.
This is unacceptable and reflects significant process failure and poor service management. The cancellation of an active ticket already in progress, without resolution or customer consent, has directly prolonged the downtime.
For reference, my service disruptions are as follows:
• 25 May to 28 May 2026: 3 days without fibre
• 09 June to 14 June 2026: 5 days without fibre
• 18 June to date: 5 days without fibre
This pattern of repeated outages, combined with the resetting of escalated tickets, is entirely unacceptable for a paid service. The current approach is directly contributing to extended downtime and is not a resolution-focused process.
I require the following immediate actions:
• Escalation of this matter to senior management without delay
• Written confirmation that the current ticket will not be cancelled or reset again
• Urgent prioritisation and expedited dispatch of a Metrofibre technician
• A detailed explanation as to why the original ticket was cancelled mid-process
• A formal commitment to prevent recurrence of this issue
In addition, I expect:
• Service credits or financial compensation for the prolonged and repeated outages
• Confirmation of the compensation process and timeline
I have given you more than 14 working days to investigate and resolve my downtime issues. Should this matter not be resolved urgently and decisively, I will escalate it further through formal complaint channels, including regulatory bodies such as ICASA.
I expect a clear, actionable resolution plan with defined timelines.

glad to hear that your fibre service has now been restored, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to be without connectivity for such an extended period. The delays and repeated outages you experienced are certainly not the level of reliability we aim to deliver.
We have shared your feedback with the Faults Team to confirm that your connectivity has been restored and to ensure your credit request is formally reviewed for the affected downtime period. They will assess the duration of the outage and process any applicable credits accordingly.
Your experience will also be raised with our Service Quality Team to review how the outages and communication were handled, so improvements can be made going forward.
