Unacceptable Cancellation of All Services After DSTV Streaming Cancellation

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a very serious and unacceptable issue with Mweb. I cancelled only my DSTV Streaming package through Mweb. Despite this, Mweb incorrectly cancelled all of my services, including:

Fibre internet LTE service Microsoft Outlook / Microsoft 365 licences

This was done without my consent, authorisation, or any confirmation, and has had severe consequences for my business operations. As a direct result, I cannot process or pay staff salaries, which is completely unacceptable and has caused major disruption and reputational risk. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue:

Attempted to chat via the online app – no one could assist Tried calling your call centre – unsuccessful and unresolved Logged complaints/queries with no meaningful response

To make matters worse, I have noticed that complaints on Hello Peter appear to go unanswered, which leaves customers feeling ignored and unsupported. This situation reflects a serious failure in service management and customer support. Cancelling critical connectivity and productivity services because of a DSTV Streaming cancellation is reckless and unacceptable. I request the following urgently:

Immediate reinstatement of all wrongly cancelled services A full explanation of how this error occurred Assurance that this will not happen again Appropriate compensation for downtime and business impact

If this matter is not resolved immediately, I will have no choice but to escalate this further. I expect prompt action and a response as a matter of urgency. This level of service is unacceptable

Hi Kelvin, we understand the seriousness of the issue raised, especially given the impact on your business operations, including connectivity, productivity services, and payroll processing. This is not the experience we want for you, and we recognise the urgency involved. 
This matter has now been escalated to our Complaints Team for review. They will investigate how the DSTV Streaming cancellation resulted in additional services being affected, confirm what actions were taken on your account, and determine whether any services were incorrectly cancelled. They will also look at restoring any impacted services where applicable and provide you with a clear explanation of what occurred, along with feedback on the appropriate resolution. 
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will ensure you receive a direct response from the Complaints Team once their investigation has been completed. 
Kind regards,

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. Could you please provide me with a timeline, as I still need to complete my payroll today? Also, will someone be able to call me to assist? Thank you very much.

Hi Kelvin, we hear the urgency in your request, especially given the time-sensitive nature of your payroll and the need for clarity on next steps. 
At this stage, we cannot confirm an exact timeline, as the team needs to log and complete an investigation before providing a committed turnaround. Once this process has been initiated, they will review the details and come back with a clear update and guidance on resolution. 
Regarding your request for a call, the team will engage once the investigation is in progress and able to provide accurate feedback, ensuring you’re not left without incomplete or premature information. 
We will ensure you are kept informed as soon as there is movement on the case. 
Kind regards,
 The Mweb Team
