MWeb pathetic customer service ADSL Gaming/download issues at 8pm until 10pm

<p>have had a problem with MWeb since last year October to today, I have logged many calls with them and they are just giving me the run around and not resolving my issues.</p> <p>I am a online gamer and since last year October/November I have issues with the game connecting.</p> <p>This happens every night at 8pm and last for about 2 to 3 hours.</p> <p>They first told me that it was a Telkom issues, I logged a ticket with Telkom about three times and evey time they checked and found not error.</p> <p>Then they told me that it is the game server, I then logged tickets with Gameloft and they too said that the problem is not on their side.</p> <p>I went back to MWeb evert time and every time I get to the call center where no one can actually help me and they log a time for someone to call me, always for the following week. Then a technical person will called me and still not being able to resolve my problem saying they have escalated to the senior technical person.</p> <p>I then had to prove to them that this problem is on MWeb’s side by getting and Afrihost prepaid ADSL account.</p> <p>Every night now when I am playing and it disconnects at 8pm, I have to change to the Afrihost ADSL account and it works! I change it back to MWeb ADSL account and it doesn’t connect, I change it back to Afrihost account and it works!!</p> <p>I have also noticed that my downloads run very slow at the same time, yet I chance over to Afrihost and like magic, NO PROBLEM!</p> <p>I have had enough now MWeb, sort your issues out and get back to your customers!!!!!</p>

Mweb seems to have made some changes, got a call from Tech support yesterday. So far Monday 20th had no problem. Agreed with MWeb to test the rest of the Week and feedback. Hope it has been fixed now. Last night played no problem. Played from 7pm until 10pm no connection issues. Lets hope!
