    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Just generic time outs. Ping returns the IP address fine but telnet also just eventually times out

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Anyone else had issues on Afrihost (and Frogfoot) connecting to any urls or connections using a custom port? I am at my wits end after numerous calls with Afrihost support who troubleshoot by having me reset my fibre router a million times and connect directly to the ONT. No issues until moving...

    Afrihost Mobile Feedback

    Seems this was too difficult a question for Afrihost

    Afrihost Mobile Feedback

    @AfriFella @Afrigirl @AfriGuy @Afrigirl I would like to know how Afrihost believes that suspending a mobile phone line without any prior warning or notification over a failed R30 auto top up is either ethical or in the best interests of your client or yourselves? I have been paying Afrihost...

    Black Friday 2025 was Amazon.co.za's biggest sales event to date

    Definitely been seeing myself use amazon.co.za more for items that I would previously have exclusively bought from takealot

    Discovery Bank integrates crypto support into its mobile banking platform

    Not sure about you but whether or not I already had millions, I would be a fool to say no to more millions. Maybe it's just me

    Discovery Bank integrates crypto support into its mobile banking platform

    Would be nice if they integrated the Lotto into their mobile banking app like some other banks. The previous version and "upgraded" Ithuba site and app are terrible

    Admyt launching new feature to stop car thieves in South Africa

    Don't even need to tailgate in many instances. The curb around the parking is not that high

    Most traditional South African banks still require in-branch visits to close accounts

    After eventually convincing my wife to ditch ABSA for Discovery, just went through a credit card account closure process with ABSA. One of the most frustrating experience of our lives. Phone ABSA to cancel the account to be told nope, go in to the branch. Go to the branch, wait over an hour for...

    AMD is giving Nvidia a run for its money in South Africa

    Well yes, I would probably have opted for a 5090 if I had unlimited funds. I would have also opted for a different car than my Haval if that was the case :) But it comes down to performance vs price. Having had Nvidia cards for the past two decades and being tired of there exorbitant prices and...

    Anyone successfully verified a Youtube channel?

    Been having issues verifying a Youtube channel with my number. The text me feature never texts me and the call me feature says that it's unable to send the verification. Tried a few family members numbers as well. Wondering if anyone in SA has successfully done this recently. Last resort would...

    Annual cost savings from switching from a best-selling internal combustion model to a hybrid

    Discovery doesn't like the way I brake .. corner .. accelerate ..

    Annual cost savings from switching from a best-selling internal combustion model to a hybrid

    Having had my Haval HEV for almost 2 years now, unless I drive like a granny, I neither save on fuel nor (as a side note) get any Discovery fuel back rewards. The only time my hybrid lives up to expectations is when I'm stuck in peak hour traffic. Then it loves using it's battery. Perhaps it's...

    Existing Openserve and Octotel customers can't downgrade to entry-level offerings

    Agreed. I posted about this exact situation recently on the Afrihost thread. Forced to upgrade my Afrihost fibre line from 75mbps to 100mbps on Octotel with no option to downgrade to their only-available-for-new-customers 55mbps package. So not only do I not get the option of the lower package...
