8 Days of No Service—Finally Rescued by Lauren Z

Review Title: 8 Days of No Service—Finally Rescued by Lauren Z Rating: ⭐ (1/5 Stars) The Review: I am finally back online after 8 consecutive days without internet service. While I am relieved to have my connection restored, the experience of getting here was completely unacceptable. For over a week, I was stuck in a "back-end" provisioning loop. I spent countless hours trying to reach a human through Webafrica’s WhatsApp self-service, which is an endless cycle of automated bots that offer no real help. To make matters worse, the telephone queues are impossible to get through—you can wait indefinitely without ever speaking to a consultant. The only reason I am giving more one star is because of Lauren Z. After 8 days of frustration, she was the first person to actually take ownership of the problem. She identified the technical fault on the back end and stayed on top of it until my service was restored. To Webafrica Management: Your automated systems are failing your customers. You are lucky to have staff like Lauren Z who actually know how to provide support, because without her intervention, I would have cancelled my service. Please ensure she is recognized for fixing a mess that your system ignored for over a week.

 Morning Jacques. Thank you for sharing this with us. Being offline for eight days while trying to get assistance is incredibly frustrating. No one should have to work hard to get reconnected, and we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to explain what the journey felt like from your side.

We are very happy to hear that Lauren Z was able to step in, identify the provisioning issue, and get your connection restored. Team members who take the time to listen carefully and drive a solution make a real difference, and we will absolutely make sure this feedback reaches her and the team. Recognition like this means a lot.

At the same time, we hear your feedback clearly about the support experience leading up to that point. Your insight into the challenges with the automated channels and the difficulty reaching assistance has been shared with the relevant teams so they can review the process and improve where necessary. Experiences like yours help highlight where we need to do better.

We are truly glad your connection is back up and running, and we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to make things right. If there is ever anything further you need, please know we are here to help. R^
