    Customs issues with Google Pixel ordered on Amazon

    It eventually came through, but it was at customs for like 3 weeks. In the end they hadn't even opened the box, it was still sealed with the Amazon tape and everything. So I have no actual clue what they did with it for 3 weeks, but yeah it got through eventually. A friend bought the same phone...

    Customs issues with Google Pixel ordered on Amazon

    So long story short, I ordered a phone off Amazon US. It shipped out of the US very quickly and landed in SA late last week. It is shipping with Aramex as Amazon parcels tend to do. The moment it hit customs, an Aramex agent contacted me asking for a bank statement proving the payment I made on...

    Telkom, Openserve and Webafrica royally screwed me with my VDSL line and now I don't know what to do

    Sorry, I meant 25 is still better than 20. It was late and night and I was typing on my phone :D At no point was I complaining about the line rates. I just told that whole situation as background to why WebAfrica decided to unilaterally cancel my line.

    Telkom, Openserve and Webafrica royally screwed me with my VDSL line and now I don't know what to do

    Yeah seems like my only option is wait until my internet dies so I can make a DSL order elsewhere.

    Telkom, Openserve and Webafrica royally screwed me with my VDSL line and now I don't know what to do

    1. Yeah I tried just about everything with the line owner so now I've resorted to complaining on forums. 2. I'm not complaining about my line speed, I'm complaining about Webafrica unilaterally cancelling my line and I'm complaining about Telkom's broken systems that allow lines to get stuck in...

    Telkom, Openserve and Webafrica royally screwed me with my VDSL line and now I don't know what to do

    You misunderstand. I was perfectly happy with the 25 Mbps and told WA that, but they decided to cancel it anyway without asking my permission first. I did not ask them to downgrade the line to 20, they made that decision by themselves. When I told them to reverse that decision, they just...

    Telkom, Openserve and Webafrica royally screwed me with my VDSL line and now I don't know what to do

    I'm just trying to figure out who the line belongs to. WA insists it does not belong to them. Telkom doesn't reply to support messages to confirm if the line belongs to them or not. Also, what do you mean I should have signed off on the 40 Mbps? I should have just accepted that I was being...
