Worst experience ever
The billing ever since the contract began has been a nightmare. Contract has been in place since April 2026. The only reason l rated them 1 star is because there is no option for minus star ratings. Every month the billing is a different amount, or double billing. In all honesty l am so tired of being ABUSED by this organization. So the latest is that the account is being double billed as there were outstandings. However at the monthend of the last month the account was in a credit and verified by calling their call centre and holding on for what seemed an eternity. Worst experience ever 🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡

Please email customer-reviews@mweb.com with the review information, a link or screenshot of the review, and the registered email address linked to your Mweb account so that we can securely verify your details and investigate the billing concerns further.

MWEB SUUUCKKKS!
Every time I try to report that my Internet is not working the technicians try to gaslight me into thinking that it’s my problem when it’s clearly on their side. I’ve never had such bad service let alone with Wi-Fi. This has been the worst experience of my adult life.

The service is terrible! They don’t answer calls and take forever to assist in the app which is meant to be the best way to get support.

Long-standing MWEB Customer – Sudden Email Connectivity Failure and Inadequate Support
I have connected through Starlink for the past five years without any problems. Then, without warning, I could no longer connect to my email. I tested the connection using a VPN, and my email worked perfectly, which indicates that the problem is related to the direct connection between Starlink and MWEB.
I tried to obtain assistance through MWEB’s chat service, but waited almost 40 minutes for a response. The consultant replied in single sentences, often with five-minute gaps between responses. It appeared that they were handling several chats simultaneously.
Needless to say, I do not blame the individual staff members. I have been an MWEB customer for almost 20 years, but unfortunately, the level of support has deteriorated from excellent to virtually non-existent.
I can still not connect to my emails using Starlink.

Cannot get an OTP from MWEB
Any assistance required by MWEB uses and OTP. Problem is the OTP never arrives making it impossible to connect with the company. Else you can pretend you are a new client, and that gets you talking to someone quickly. After that they put you in a queue to speak to a consultant for which you use at least 20 minutes. In this day and age, that you cannot even get your OTP to be sent to you borders on the criminal.

I'm not one to write negative reviews…
I'm not one to write negative reviews quickly, but NEVER did I think I would be so dissatisfied with the service of a company... I waited 30 DAYS for these people to activate my line, it worked for 1 single day and now my line is deactivated again. So I tried to call them, got through to the sales team, they said I have to talk to the service department, they put me through, and I waited... And waited... For 30 minutes, finally someone picked up. He told me that he cannot assist me only sales can, BUT THE SALES DEPARTMENT transferred me through to him. And to make it worse, he could not transfer me back because they had clocked off. Pathetic is a compliment for these people. NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED

Hi Alwyn,
We completely understand your frustration, especially after waiting 30 days for your line to be activated, only for the service to work for a single day before being deactivated again. Having then been transferred between departments and left waiting for assistance would understandably make the experience even more frustrating.
Please be assured that our Activations Team is currently working on this matter and is attending to the issue with your service. They are working towards getting the activation resolved so that your connection can be restored and you can use the service as expected.
We appreciate your patience while the team works through this and gets the matter addressed.

This is the worst service I’ve ever…
This is the worst service I’ve ever received. Poor customer service, no response whatsoever to faults, I have been sitting without service for the past 3-4 working days and when contacting what’s supposed to be the customer service team they don’t answer calls, via WhatsApp I’m receiving feedback saying I will just have to wait for another 3-6 business days to have a technician come out. That would mean I would have paid for the service that I did not receive and inconvenienced. Guess what?! Should I decide to cancel my contract due to poor service and lack of customer support I will be penalised ! This is outrageous to say the least! I’ve been listening to hold music waiting for an agent to contact me for the past 32 minutes?! How is that a realistic wait time? I wouldn’t recommend- deeply regret having taken this service to begin with.

Hi Michell,
We understand how frustrating it must be to be without your internet service while waiting for the fault to be resolved, especially when you rely on a stable connection for your day-to-day activities. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.
While the timeframe is the standard turnaround for fault investigations by the network provider, in many cases they are able to attend to faults sooner. We have followed up on your fault and can see that changes have since been made by the network provider. They are seeing positive line readings following those changes. As a next step, please restart both your router and Metrofibre ONT (fibre box) and then test for internet access as it should be restored.
Your feedback will be shared with our Service Quality Team for review and improvement. We remain committed to providing a level of service that meets our customers' expectations and trust that the changes made will help restore your connectivity.

Antwoord van Mweb
Hello Nicole,
We understand that moving to a different unit within the same estate can be confusing when it comes to your fibre service, and we appreciate you reaching out for clarity.
In most cases, a move of premises request is required when relocating to a new unit, even within the same estate, as the fibre service needs to be activated at the new address. If there is no existing fibre installation in the new unit, arrangements will need to be made for the installation to take place before the service can be activated.
We would be happy to provide you with the specific steps applicable to your situation. For secure and efficient assistance, kindly send an email to customer-reviews@mweb.com including the full review details, the link or image, and your registered Mweb email address. Please note that we can only respond once all the required information has been provided. Our team aims to respond as quickly as possible, with a general turnaround time of up to 24 hours.

We understand how disappointing the past few days have been, particularly when you’re experiencing an outage and need clear, timely communication. We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.
During an outage, staying informed can make a big difference. You can sign up for Mweb network outage notifications to receive updates when an outage affecting your area is identified, including progress towards restoration. This helps you stay informed without having to repeatedly contact support for updates.

Hello Andries
We understand how frustrating it must be to have dealt with buffering for months and then struggle to reach Support when you need help. We’d like to help get to the bottom of the connection issue.
In the meantime, please try these steps:
Restart your fibre equipment: Switch off the fibre ONT and router at the plug. Leave both off for 2–3 minutes, then switch the ONT on first. Allow it a few minutes to stabilise before switching the router back on.
Check the fibre lights: Confirm whether the PON light is stable and whether the LOS light is off. A red or flashing LOS light can indicate a loss of fibre signal and may require technical investigation.
Check the cables: Ensure the fibre cable between the wall/ONT and equipment is securely connected. Avoid bending, twisting, or removing the fibre cable unnecessarily.
Test with an Ethernet cable: If possible, connect a laptop or computer directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. If the connection is stable via Ethernet but buffers over WiFi, the issue may be WiFi-related.
Test close to the router: If Ethernet testing isn't possible, move a device close to the router and check whether the buffering improves.
Check multiple devices: Test more than one device. If all devices experience the same issue, this can help identify whether the problem is with the connection rather than an individual device.
Check your speed: Run a speed test while connected directly to the router, preferably via Ethernet, and note the download/upload speeds and latency.
Avoid a factory reset: Please don't reset the router to factory settings unless advised by our Technical Support team, as this can remove the service configuration.
If the issue continues after these checks, please send us a Live Chat message with your registered Mweb email address and contact number. This will ensure we're able to locate the correct account, check the service status, and arrange the appropriate technical assistance.
Kind regards,
The Mweb Team

We understand how frustrating it is to still be experiencing connectivity issues after another five days, especially when even basic WhatsApp messages are struggling to send or load.
Our Support team has logged a line fault under reference MWB35349062 after identifying a red LOS light on your fibre equipment. LOS means “Loss of Signal”, which indicates that the fibre equipment is not receiving the expected signal from the fibre network. This can result in slow, intermittent, or completely unavailable connectivity.
Our technical teams are investigating the fault, and you’ll continue receiving updates via SMS as the fault progresses. We appreciate your patience while we work towards restoring a stable connection.
Kind regards,

Try avoid using Mweb
I ordered my package on the 31 of July and it's now the 12th of August and I still don't have WiFi.
Moving in a new apartment is extremely stressful and Mweb has added onto that stress. Corinne had a point about the long waiting before speaking with a representative and its always been like this over the days. It feels like Mweb is extremely understaffed and isnt customer experience oriented.
I have been sending emails to the relevant departments I'm asked to email, about releasing the line so I can get activated. It seems like Mweb is trying to lock the previous tenants down and hold the line until they feel like releasing it. It's quite disheartening to have no other options as well because the line hasn't been released for other services providers to install WiFi.
No one seems to know how to assist and the communication channels for the staff in house seems limited. When I try to ask for someone else in the departments they say they can only escalate the issue and cannot provide details for further follow up.
I hope whoever is reading this has a better experience with Mweb but if your doing some diligence and research before making your mind up, please use other services providers. Mweb is unfortunately not the best way to go.
