MWEB'S RETENTIONS DEPARTMENT - DISAPPOINTING & POOR SERVICE

I've been an MWEB customer for over 15 years. Lately, I've been very disappointed in their customer service. There's a "Retentions" department, which I've never dealt with. I've been referred to them because I desperately need my router upgraded, as I keep losing the network. The ZyXel router I currently have is outdated, according to the Technical Support department. It's been over a month now, and the Retentions Dept. hasn't called me. They do not have a direct line!! And apparently they are only in the office on Tuesdays. The Live Chat app, which MWeb always confidently directs me to, is useless. No one answers queries on it. After many calls to the customer service line and Tech team members, and many escalations to the Retentions department, I don't know what else to do now. If I don't get a response/ help this week, I will have to find another service provider, which will be a huge inconvenience.

Hi Sharon, we understand how frustrating this has been, especially after 15 years with Mweb and still not getting clarity or progress on your router upgrade request. The delays and lack of direct feedback from Retentions are noted and we do understand the impact this has had on your experience. We’ve now submitted a follow-up to our Retentions team regarding your case and the ongoing connectivity issues linked to your current Zyxel router. This has been escalated so it can be reviewed and actioned as soon as possible. We’ll continue to monitor this until there is movement from the team and keep pushing for a response to be provided. Kind regards,
 The Mweb Team
