I made a payment to Webafrica on the 19 June 2026. The agent assisting me at the time confirmed that the next payment will be after 28 days. Today, I receive an SMS stating that my payment was unsuccessful and that my services will be disconnected. This is pathetic and absolutely unprofessional. How can I make a full payment for using WiFi for less than half the month and then pay again. I have the what's app chat to confirm the agents message

Hi Kercy, thanks for reaching out and for explaining what’s happened. We can understand how frustrating this must feel.
Just to clarify, the charge on your profile is a pro-rata amount from 19 June to the end of June. As we bill a month in advance, your July invoice was generated on 1 July and is due for payment. This is why you may have received a suspension notice.
Your service is a recurring debit order triggered for payment automatically on the 1st of every month. To proceed with your monthly payment for July, the quickest way to get back online is by settling your account at pay.webafrica.co.za.
Please feel free to reach out to us via private message for any further assistance.

No service and failed communication
Subject: Accountability + Refund for Service Failure – Since 04 May 2026
Hello Vuma/Web Africa,
My internet has been down since 04 May 2026. I reported it on 09 May 2026. Since then I’ve spoken to 8+ agents on WhatsApp, and every time I had to repeat the same information to robotic, generic replies. No solution. No proper communication.
I paid for a service I did not receive. I cancelled effective 04 June 2026, returned the router, yet another debit order still went through.
This is unacceptable.
1. When will you take accountability for billing me with no service?
2. When will I get written confirmation of cancellation and a refund for May and June?
I am done with the run-around. Please resolve this immediately.

Hello Mpho
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, this is very serious and not in line with how we operate.
Our policy is clear, agents will never request or accept any direct payments from customers. All payments must be made through Webafrica channels only.
Please send us your registered email address and any details of this interaction via a WhatsApp message, including the agent’s name, date, and any proof if available. We will urgently investigate this with the relevant teams and take the necessary action.
Your safety and trust are extremely important to us, and we appreciate you flagging this so we can address it immediately.

Unreliable internet connection
Unreliable internet connection. I have been experiencing issues for about 4 weeks. My emails and WhatsApp messages are not responded to. I have been requesting for a technician to come through but they keep telling me to restart, check connection and repeat. I don't know if its the router or the bandwidth.

Hi Paula, thank you for sharing this with us. Four weeks of intermittent connection is not the experience we want for you, and we completely understand how frustrating the repeated troubleshooting can feel.
When our support team asks you to restart and check connections, it is not to delay a technician visit. These steps help isolate whether the issue is with the router, your home setup, or the line itself. This allows us to avoid unnecessary call-out delays and get the right fix in place faster.
Here are a few expert checks you can try that go beyond a simple restart:
1. Check for line stability (ONT lights)
Have a look at your fibre box (ONT). The LOS light should be off and the PON light stable. If LOS is red or flashing, it points to a line issue, not your router.
2. Test via Ethernet cable
Connect a device directly to the router using a LAN cable. If the connection is stable via cable but not on WiFi, the issue is likely WiFi interference or router placement.
3. Optimise router placement
Place your router in a central, open area, away from walls, metal objects, and appliances like microwaves. Poor placement is one of the most common causes of unstable WiFi.
4. Check for network congestion
If multiple devices are streaming or downloading at the same time, it can affect performance. Try disconnecting some devices and test again.
5. Change the WiFi channel or frequency
If you are in a busy area, overlapping WiFi networks can cause interference. Switching between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, or changing the channel, can improve stability.
6. Run a speed and packet loss test
This helps identify if the issue is bandwidth-related or if there is instability on the line.
Most common causes we see:
WiFi interference or poor router positioning
Faulty or ageing routers
Line instability from the fibre network provider
High usage or device congestion in the home
If the issue continues after these steps, we would definitely want to take this further for you. Please reach out to us via WhatsApp so we can run live diagnostics on your line and, if needed, arrange a technician with the correct context already in place.
We are here to get you back to a stable, reliable connection as quickly as possible.
Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Hi Johannes,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us.

To ensure this is handled securely and without any further delay, please email customer-reviews@webafrica.com with your review details, including a link or image, along with your registered Webafrica email address.

FAULTY ONT BOX - 462621 / 462274 / W2706108 / 33771
So my Fiber was installed on the 17th of June 2026. not even a new line only a little white ONT box that took nearly 2 weeks to be done. when the 5 minute installation job was done on the 17th on the sign off sheet i noted that i was not happy with the installation as the fiber kept connecting and then all of the sudden it says no internet access. since the 17th i have brought this up with webafrica numerous times. first off i delt with a useless consultant and after getting put through to 7 others i finally got a reference number for the complaint. every day i have been following up on this as i am now using my neighbors ONT as they are away as mine is faulty. if i plug my neighbors ONT in i dont have any issues as soon as i plug min in it says no internet access. its a constant back and forth between webafrica blaming TT connect and TT connect blaming webfafrica. the best is the original ref number i got 410299 after phoning TT connect came up as a Afrihost ref number so webafrica is LYING the whole way. the other ref number is WA2857916 that i got that is just useless. after confronting webafrica about laying i got given new ref numbers on the 26th 462621 / 462274 / W2706108 / 33771. still to this date the ONT has not been replaced. i am fed up with Webafrica. i will be persuing legal action now with a lawyer and the Ombudsman as i am done dealing with this incompetence now - quick to take your money but useless at providing a service and sorting out stuff.
consultants that i have delt with : Winnie and Chanelle.
if i could give 0 stars i would.
would not recomend at all.
WEBAFRICA YOU GUYS ARE BEYOND USELESS AND I HAVE HAD IT NOW.
WILL CANCELL MY FIBER WITH YOU GUYS ON MONDAY AS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH NOW

Hi Mariska, we can hear just how frustrating and exhausting this experience has been for you, especially after dealing with repeated follow-ups, conflicting feedback, and a service that has not been stable since installation. Having to rely on a neighbour’s ONT to stay connected is certainly not what you signed up for.
From what you’ve described, the issue does point to a faulty ONT, and we can see how the back-and-forth between providers and the multiple reference numbers have made this even more difficult to resolve. That’s not the level of clarity or ownership we aim to provide.
We’ve arranged for our Retentions team to contact you as a priority to discuss your experience in detail and take full ownership of the next steps. This includes reviewing the ONT replacement properly with the relevant fibre partner and that you receive clear, consistent updates going forward.
In the meantime, your case has been flagged for urgent review so that there is a single, focused path to resolution without further delays or confusion.
We truly want to turn this around for you and restore your confidence in the service. Please keep an eye out for the call from our team, they will work with you directly to get this resolved as quickly as possible.
Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Limited communication
I disliked that I had to open a chat to request a link to make the payment, because there was no communication for several hours after signing up and placing the order.
And the technicians were late for the installation appointment and did not notify when they were on their way.

Hi Nolly, thank you for sharing this with us. We can completely understand how frustrating it must have been not to receive timely communication after signing up, and then needing to reach out just to get a payment link. The delay with the installation team and lack of updates on their arrival would have added to that experience.
We’ve noted your feedback around both the communication gap and the technician arrival, as this is not the smooth, well-informed journey we aim to provide.
To make managing your billing quicker and more convenient going forward, the Webafrica App puts everything in one place. Here’s how you can manage your billing easily:

• Log in to the Webafrica App
• Navigate to the “Billing” section
• View your current balance and invoices
• Make secure payments directly in the app
• Download invoices and track payment history
• Update your payment method if needed
This helps you stay in control without needing to request links or wait for assistance. We’re here to make this simpler and smoother for you going forward.

Hi John, we hear how frustrating this journey has been for you, from installation challenges to ongoing connectivity and speed concerns. That’s a lot to deal with, and we understand why you’d feel disappointed.
We can see our technical support team worked with you on Saturday to resolve the Evotel speed issue, and this has been logged on your account, so we can continue tracking your experience closely.
To help you get the best possible performance, here are a few quick tips that often make a noticeable difference:
• Try connecting via LAN cable where possible for more stable speeds
• Position your router in an open, central space away from walls or large electronics
• Limit the number of devices streaming or downloading at the same time
• Restart your router periodically to refresh the connection
We’re committed to improving your experience and making sure you feel confident in your connection.
