    Missing transaction on a FNB loan statement

    I have a home loan with FNB for just about a year now, and come December we decided to make an extra payment against the loan. Convoluted process aside, it was eventually processed in March and the monthly deduction for April reflected accordingly. The problem is that I can find no proof of...

    UPS to power vumatel fibre

    This is cool and all. But understand the goal I had was only to keep my CPE and router running through a load-shedding session. Not necessarily the computers too. Just the Wi-Fi for laptops and phones. I ended up paying less than R1000 to achieve this. On the other hand, if you really want to...

    UPS to power vumatel fibre

    The problem with a UPS is the double conversions. You take the wall power, convert it to DC, only for the UPS to then convert it to AC again, and then you go and plug in the 12 V DC adapter to power the CPE/router into the UPS. I got one of these CCTV backup power units...
