The company said it had removed references to free Wi-Fi after receiving the complaint. I also requested a porting of my Telkom line to MWB. MWEB is currently offering a special, charging R1,780 for installation. Mweb blamed human error and claimed the material referred to in the complaint was not identified and amended.
Van der Merwe said he was advised by Mweb’s customer care representative that the free Wi-Fi was discontinued in September 2017. In a separate complaint also lodged with the ASA‚ Albert van der Merwe found an Mweb advertisement promoting free Wi-Fi access at hotspots around the country misleading. Telkom acknowledged its error and said it had rectified the mistake by changing the wording in the advert. This has resulted in calls from major ISPs like Web Africa and MWEB for Telkom to offer a naked ADSl option which will hoepfully reduce costs and result. Van Ramesdonk said the advertisement was misleading as customers only receive a device with 3GB RAM and not 4GB RAM, as stated in the commercial. Paul van Ramesdonk had lodged a complaint with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) against a Telkom advertisement stating "Storage: 32 GB‚ 4GB RAM".
It offers a range of internet access offerings, differentiated tools and services to approximately 320 000 customer. Free Wi-Fi and a promise of a handset with more storage turned out to be too good to be true as Mweb and Telkom have had to withdraw advertisements after complaints that they were misleading. The company consists of three segments: The Telkom SA segment, which provides fixed-line access, fixed-mobile and data communications services through Telkom South Africa the Multi-Links. MWEB is known to be the second largest Internet Service Provider in South Africa.
