Tedious whatsapp support

Have been with WebAfrica since 2014 - the first few years were great with reliable and efficient support. But a while ago they changed to only providing support over whatsapp and while the individuals you interact with are generally fairly capable of resolving issues within a reasonable time... it typically takes between 40 and 90 minutes to get in touch with an actual agent.

In the past year I've had three fibre outages and each time it took upwards of 3 hours just to ***get a ticket logged***. On two of those occasions I had to restart the entire onerous process as the chat "timed out" (due to the agents' lack of response - not mine). While the chatbot tells you agents can view previous conversations - that is either not the case or the agents don't know how to.

This tedious support process is why I am going to now change ISP.

Hi Graeme, thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback and for being with Webafrica since 2014. We understand your frustration, especially around the delays in reaching an agent and the time it has taken to log and resolve fibre outages. That is not the experience we aim to deliver. We’ve noted your concerns regarding response times, chat timeouts, and the support process, and this will be shared with the relevant teams for review so the experience can be assessed and improved where needed. Warm regards,
 Webafrica Crew
