    Eskom hits stage 6 load-shedding without notice

    Well, here where I am in New Zealand, there are some issues about cutting the vegetation on the centre median between two lanes of a roadway. Council can't decide who should be responsible. And someone has spent a little over budget on a new stretch of highway to be laid, which has led to much...

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

    I'm a little confused with the comms: Is the Frogfoot "Double Up" promo ending? I'm on a 500/500 package, currently "doubled up" to 1gbps/1gbps. It's lovely. And overkill. But too lovely. From the comms, it seems as though my 500/500 will remain the same, but I'm not sure if the Frogfoot...

    The highest broadband speeds for South Africa homes

    I was worried about this. Only saw the "disclaimer" (?) of the 100mbps up/down for international traffic on the CISP 1gbps symmetrical package with FF as the FNO... I was taken aback and surprised. Was not aware of that at all. And as you've pointed out, is totally at odds with my experience...

    Just for what it's worth, lots of Packet loss and slow speeds in Mlilnerton, CISP / FF.

    Oculus Quest 2 is now available

    Not sure why FB would randomly ban a person and reduce the likelihood of them spending money to zero. You'd have a steam account to play steam games. A PSN account for PS games. An XBL account for XB games. A Nintendo account for Switch games. And so on, and so on. I don't have a FB but have...

    Oculus Quest 2 is now available

    This is precisely what happened to me. I couldn't figure it out myself, but I made use of it anyways. Might be in for more when it gets to RSA customs. Will update if that's the case. I do know that if it is declared under 8528.49 in the SARS excise book "85.28 Monitors and projectors, not...

    Please help me. I am looking for a Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop in South Africa

    Hey, glad you're getting sorted out. The first time purchase / confirming details can be a bit of a pain, especially from South Africa, but you've got to persist hoping that you'll get someone with a brain who can resolve the issue. The trials and tribulations of dealing with customer service...

    Please help me. I am looking for a Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop in South Africa

    Also, forgot to say, the story about Lenovo exclusivity with evetech sounds strange... You can buy Lenovo laptops at Incredible Deception, for example, and Takealot. Not sure about Ryzen chips, though, all the ones I've seen are Intel. Incidentally, as much as I loathe them, Incredible...
