Non-existent Customer Support

I had there service for more than 5 years and had very little trouble until recently. The service went down and to get hold of anyone is impossible, waited for more than 1 hour on the support line to be dropped, the live chat on the app is a joke, leave a request and it takes hours between responses and nothing resolved. Was so frustrated, I cancelled the service and then only do I get emails from retentions. I paid for a non-existent service for a month and a half for them to release the line with Vumatel for new service provider, but after multiple emails saying they will send proof that it has been done, 10 days later they still haven't. So now Vumatel will also loose a client for good and Openserve gained a new one by default. These 5 star reviews surely has not experienced an issue and tried to get hold of someone, I have never ever thought I would come across a private company who's service is worse than any government department, until now. Do yourselves a favour and stay clear of MWEB.

Reviewer Update
Wow, if only the rest of mweb is so efficient as their retentions team. Just looking at all the complaints with similar problems and waiting for ours to be connected to representative only to be cut off, it is amazing that MWEB still in business.
