stay away from webafrica
Learn from other people's experiences and make smarter choices, I made the worse decision by choosing webAfrica as my ISP. I have used different ISP for many years and i never complained, i used webafrica for few months and am already not happy with their service.
I have logged the call last month(July:2020) before the 20th , the call is about internet not working, i asked about the turn around time , the agent told me 24 hrs my internet will be working, i waited 72 hours my internet was still not working. i called the different the different agent he apologized for poor services i received from his colleague he then logged the call with their technical team and the said the SLA will be 48 hrs i waited for 72 hrs again with no luck. the i called again the first agent complained that the call was incorrectly logged by the second agent he said he was rectifying the mistake and i must wait again for 24 hrs.
i was still not able to access internet after 48 hrs, i sent message to their customer zone page explaining everything customer, my call was closed without contacting me or resolving my issue , i sent the email to their support team still no luck, more than a MONTH without the internet but still debating my account :(. below is all my reference number and all the people who tried helping.
my internet still not working today(August:2020) such an insult to the word "africa" , maybe we should say "webDisappointing" 17 July - till date 15 August 2020 1. Carmaliter *** 2. Lisa 3. Francois *** 4. Carmaliter *** 5. Masithembe *** 6. Masithembebref#220125 7. Khuboni *** 8. Iman ***
