Slow connection but paying for high connection and tech dept. don't bother to answer calls
This is day 3 of me trying to contact the technical department. I'm paying for a fast connection and my connection is lagging and affecting me executing my job. A voice keeps saying to download their app. Their app doesn't help because how am I supposed to sort out the slow connection. Isn't that what the techs are for? But if you want to sign up be sure that a salesperson will call you promptly! The sales department answers in seconds but when they put you through to tech department after about 15 to 20 minutes a person is compelled to hang up. WHERE ARE YOUR TECHNICAL PEOPLE? DO THEY EVEN EXIST?

04 Sept 2026, 15:59Hi Belinda,We understand why you’re frustrated. Being on day three of trying to get technical assistance while a slow connection is affecting your ability to work is incredibly disruptive. We also hear your feedback about the difficulty reaching our Technical team and the long waits for support.While our team takes a closer look, a few checks can help pinpoint where the slowdown is occurring:• Run a speed test using an Ethernet cable directly from the router to a computer. This removes Wi-Fi interference and helps show the actual speed reaching your home.• Compare this with a Wi-Fi speed test close to the router. If the wired speed is good but Wi-Fi is slow, this can point to wireless coverage, interference, or device-related factors.• Check whether multiple devices are heavily streaming, downloading, or backing up data. These activities can use a significant portion of the available bandwidth and affect other users.• Try another device and test at different times of the day. This helps establish whether the issue is isolated to one device or follows a particular pattern.If the speed remains consistently slow, particularly on a wired connection, please send us a private message with your account details and the results of the tests. We can then have the connection investigated further and involve the relevant technical team based on what the testing shows.We appreciate that these checks don't replace the need for proper technical support. They simply give us clearer information to work with so the right part of the connection can be investigated rather than making assumptions about the cause.Kind regards,

07 Sept 2026, 13:15Hi MWEB,
I still didn't get a reply whether your technical support team actually exist because I have once again been trying to call them and is STILL on the call being placed on hold FOREVER. If they existed surely I would have received a call by now or gotten through. I know this as I put it to the test by opting sales team and then my call magically gets answered and when your sales team put me through to "technical department" guess what? ON HOLD FOREVER WITHOUT ANY REPLY NO MATTER WHAT TIME I CALL. I am going to shop for other options now. I've had enough.

07 Sept 2026, 17:36PLEASE tell me how I'm supposed to reach out when no one answers my calls? HOW must I communicate with anyone in that case? Once again, I'm not getting a straight answer as to if your head office exists and if you actually have an active technical department because NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE? PLEASE RESPOND.

08 Sept 2026, 08:00I have emailed MWEB as well and explicitly asked for a call back and provided them with my contact number but they simply ignore this request. Meanwhile my speed remains vastly slower than what I'm paying for. MWEB I EXPECT A CALL.
