    Starlink has started peering at NAPAfrica

    @Hanno Labuschagne why didn't you say anything a month ago when they first peered at the original - and oldest - peering point in South Africa?

    The company renting remote security guns to South African households and businesses

    I've never seen this on a cellphone or WISP tower. I wonder why they've not adopted the tech?

    Afrihost, dont bother

    The problem might go away of Afrihost removed their traffic shapers and CGNAT boxes.

    Afrihost Fibre 100Mb/s is a Hoax

    @AfriNatic @Afrigirl @AfriGuy Seems you may need to give this New Member some attention. 5 Posts, all of them hating on you.

    Herotel Latency Problem - Evening

    There's latency on that specific link. If you can set up a smokeping, you can probably speak mikrotik and know your way around linux. snmpwalk that router and the router before it. You may get lucky with default values ;) You may need to become creative... Once you can pull data, run it into...

    Supersonic & Frog Foot

    I think what you described there is what we all want: A month to month service that works reliably and doesn't have stupid penalty clauses or massive setup / connection fees.

    Supersonic & Frog Foot

    I would not be surprised if FNOs have different contracts for different ISPs and the FNOs were quietly using constructive dismissal tactics to get rid of some of the ISPs on their network. Just like a certain FNO bought a certain large WISP that also has quite a large closed fibre network and...

    Supersonic & Frog Foot

    https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/openserve-rollout-question.1278055/ If the FNO's dodgy, the ISP doesn't matter. I went through the motions with a client in Polokwane. From two of the big boys, down to a local WISP who resells fibre. He warned us about the fibre being dodgy and gave us a...

    Supersonic & Frog Foot

    Option A move to Frogfoot. B B I chose B. Seriously, I have another post here explaining the lengths I have gone to, to get one family member off Frogfoot. it doesn't matter which ISP you use, if the node you connect to has an issue - as some seem to have - you'll be in for a torrid time...

    MyBBer details how much he paid for and saves with his solar power system

    Grassie Coetzee strikes again! Most people who've been in the IT industry in the Western Cape for 20+ years would have bumped heads with him at least once and would know to take what he says with a pinch of salt. Erastus! Ek wag nou nog vir my generator relay wat jy in 2011 by my "net gou"...

    Openserve rollout question

    In January a relative received a note in his mailbox that Openserve was rolling out fibre in the area and Nokia would be the contractor of record. Great excitement as this means they can get rid of Frogfoot. I'm the family tech guy, so will be one less person I have bleating every time their...

    AFRINIC placed under receivership - but it could be a good thing

    Daarsy! In swart op wit. https://bgp.he.net/AS35916#_prefixes Thing is, if you look at who Cloud / Larus are renting to, Amazon aren't going to give those IP addresses back. And Amazon's not the only one. NTT America and Centurylink (old Level3) are there. None of them are going to just hand...

    AFRINIC placed under receivership - but it could be a good thing

    What's the bet he sold the customers to an EvoNet, the equipment to other ISPs and kept the IP addresses for himself, renting them to someone like Clould Innovations?

    AFRINIC placed under receivership - but it could be a good thing

    I stand corrected, but I vaguely remember something about the AfriNIC employee who approved the massive IP blocks going to "Cloud", while real ISPs were struggling to be allocated a couple of thousand addresses was dismissed because he was caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar. I'm...

    Smaller / Independent ISP Recommendations

    It appears you forgot Cape Connect Internet 3.4 from 61 reviews on Google 3.4 from 41 reviews on HelloPeter You may also want to compare apples with apples and go to https://bgp.he.net and then list the number of IP addresses each ISP has allocated to it. This will give an idea as to the...
