If I could give WebAfrica zero stars
If I could give WebAfrica zero stars, I would.
I’ve officially been without internet for 17 days. Funny enough, when it’s time to sign you up and install your line, everything happens at lightning speed. But the moment you’re a paying customer and something goes wrong, you’re completely on your own.
For the last 7 consecutive days, I’ve been told my issue has been “escalated” and marked as “urgent.” By who? WhatsApp agents who don’t even have direct access to technicians. Their entire job seems to be sending an email and telling you someone will get back to you. Then… nothing.
To make matters worse, technical support is only available via WhatsApp. You can’t pick up the phone and speak to a technician. You can’t call someone to explain what’s happening. You just sit there, day after day, waiting while receiving the same copy-and-paste responses.
I’m a new customer, and I’ve already spent more days without internet than with it. Think about that.
I was warned about WebAfrica before signing up, and I didn’t listen. I even made a bet with my friends on how long it would take them to fix my connection. My money is on one month at this point—and honestly, I’m starting to think I might win.
If you value responsive customer service, accountability, and a company that actually takes its paying customers seriously when things go wrong, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere before choosing WebAfrica.
Signing up is easy. Getting support when you actually need it? That’s a completely different story.

We can see how frustrating and disappointing this has been, especially being without a connection for such an extended period and not getting the level of support you expected. Your experience matters, and we take accountability for the delays and lack of clear progress you’ve encountered.
We’ve reached out to our Vumatel account partners for urgent assistance to restore your connection. We can see that the Vumatel unit was recently swapped out, and the systems still need to be updated with the new ONT details linked to your address. This is currently preventing your service from coming online.
Your fault is being actively tracked under Webafrica reference WA3027116, and our Vumatel partners are working with us under Vumatel fault ref#01477475 to get your connection up and running as soon as possible. We will continue to keep you informed with updates via SMS so you are not left without feedback.
We remain committed to getting this resolved for you as quickly as possible.
Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

With webafrica, I signed up for 10 Mbps, and for the past 4 months, if not more, I've been given 1 Mbps or less; it is a real letdown.

Hi Pulane, we’re really sorry to hear about the slow speeds you’ve been experiencing, especially over such a long period. Getting 1 Mbps on a 10 Mbps service is understandably frustrating, and not the experience we want for you.
To help improve your Telkom LTE performance, here are a few quick tips you can try:
• Restart your router and leave it off for at least 2–3 minutes before powering it back on
• Check your signal strength and place the router near a window or higher up for better reception
• Reduce congestion by limiting the number of connected devices, especially during peak times
• Run a speed test while connected via Ethernet (if possible) to rule out WiFi interference
• Change the router position or direction slightly to find the best signal spot
LTE speeds can fluctuate due to coverage, network congestion, and signal quality, but we’d really like to take a closer look and help stabilise your connection.
Please reach out to us via WhatsApp, and our support team will run checks on your line, network status, and help with further troubleshooting or next steps. We’re here to get you back to the speeds you should be enjoying.
Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew
the workers did a splendid job everyone was friendly and mr tebogo the superviser was amazingly polite and patient ... the speed is perfect.

I only give 1 star because I cannot give 0 stars.
They are absolutely horrible. The service is shockingly awful! Pathetic! I am waiting on their “easy peasy” support system on the app for half an hour every time they transfer me. Last time I waited a full hour before just giving up. I wanted a simple upgrade!! That’s it. All the people assisting (if you can call it that) were incompetent. I have been transferred sooo many times just for a simple upgrade. It’s ridiculous honestly!
PATHETIC!

Hi Marisa,
Trying to get a simple upgrade done while being transferred repeatedly and left waiting for extended periods can be extremely frustrating, especially when it turns something straightforward into a prolonged and exhausting experience.
This is not the level of service we want you to have when reaching out for assistance, and it’s clear that the process has fallen far short of expectations.
Your query has been escalated to the team handling orders, with a request for urgent follow-up and for detailed feedback to be provided to you via email.
Your experience has also been shared with our Service Quality Team to review the support process and improve how upgrades and customer interactions are handled going forward.
Warm regards,
Webafrica Crew

Worst ISP in existence.
Worst ISP in existence.
Complete lack of understanding that their online portals are insufferably frustrating...waiting for extended lengths of time for responses, days of holding on WhatsApp, continuously being transferred to another agent, the whole experience was torture and probably by design to make sure you can't cancel your subscription - which is inevitable as a result of their appalling service.

• A copy or screenshot of your review
• A link to where it was posted (if applicable)
