Mweb that lies never stop.

My problem starts as follows. I have adsl with mweb with very bad or no internet. in December 2017 I had almost no connection and could not make proper use of my internet. Mweb consultants promised refunds. I am still waiting for these.

Today I phoned about the LTE-A option. no where on the website does it give you any info on the product. I phoned them to find out more. The agent confirmed that if I take this option I must remember that it is a 12 month contract. So I asked the agent on the website it states month to month. He confirmed this but said it is month to month but with a 12 month contract. I am confused by this as the one contradicts the other. this according to me goes against TCF as you are coming with hidden content and this is *******. Also this is false advertising as it is not stated on the website. Mweb is a bunch of *****. I am a long time client and they are responsible for my internet that never had issues. I demand they give me the LTE-A without the hidden clauses. My internet is barely useable in its current state.

Reviewer Update
So after Mweb phoned me they are unable to solve the problem. Typical. They confirmed that the add on the website is 100% legal even though there is small print. Small Print according to the consumer protection act and treating clients fairly act is *******. The add needs to be removed and the promotion stopped. The contradicting wording of a FREE modem that you have to pay for. what the **** does this mean FREE but you have to pay for it. I will be taking this further with the consumer protector the TCF board and the ombudsman. I am willing to take the LTE-A and if I get fiber before the 12 months are finished then Mweb can come and fetch the "FREE" modem. I am not stupid and will therefore not take fiber with Mweb as I do not want a repeat of this and the "FREE" modem will not be free. The "FREE" installation will not be free. Free in the dictionary: adverb adverb: free 1. without cost or payment. "ladies were admitted free" synonyms: without charge, free of charge, for nothing, complimentary, gratis, gratuitous, at no cost; More informalfor free, on the house "elementary education should be free" antonyms: paid for, expensive
