Sometimes I get narked and complain about the poor service, but mostly my complaints get resolved toot suite. I have had dealings with Megaweb and MWeb this year that have made me realise that Web Africa actually gives a shit.
I am finally going to achieve one of my dreams. Andre and I are going to explore Southern Africa on bikes. Andre and I have decided that we will be exploring Southern Africa on Bikes with a major trip through Africa as well in the next four years. You will be able to follow our adventures on the web.
I was visited by an anonymous person who showed their lack of intelligence and understanding of real issues. It claims that “THERE are 2 types of spam. There is junk, virus and nonsense spam and then there is people who are just trying to make a living. And us ADULTS have the choice of using THEIR services or buying THEIR products or just deleting THEIR mails.”
fixed means I don’t have clients calling me because their sites are not working. It does not mean my clients think that I am an arse because the services I provide don’t work. It does not make me happy that my clients are looking for alternative supply.
