    Takealot increases minimum order size for free delivery and changes checkout defaults

    My personal favorite thing that Takealot will do is, to get free shipping I add items to the cart. One item will take a month to deliver. So ok, fine, I accept the month delivery, so that I get it for free. Finally 3 weeks later the day arrives. Suddenly the supplier cancels the order. Then...

    Takealot increases minimum order size for free delivery and changes checkout defaults

    AWS and Amazon are still run as separate legal entities in South Africa. AWS has invested enormous amounts on data centers in South Africa, they needed to cut a deal with the government to meet BEE requirements in order not to be excluded from the market. I'm not trying to make excuses for...

    I don't have an ONT, Lightspeed is ethernet all they way. There is no ONTs/PON/etc.

    I don't have an ONT. Only media converter (layer 2). So reboot would do absolutely nothing. But it eventually connected after 8 hours. Basically don't reboot your routers folks.

    Yeah it is a complete joke. Completely burning trust with this ridiculous statement.

    The whole event so far I'm not really convinced that they have any idea yet what has happened

    Why don't you have a smoke ping to some US server? Is it because you know which routes leave their network? (ie. hence the AS numbers?)

    Cybersmart / Lightspeed National Outage

    I'm quite busy at work, so I'll postpone this a bit. Hopefully someone else will lose their **** and take it up. But frankly I don't think they can be this clueless. My guess is, they are trying to create the impression everything is fine, it is just YOU, you are just unlucky. Frankly just...

    Cybersmart / Lightspeed National Outage

    https://www.cybersmart.co.za/notices It is total BS because it is not operating per usual. Unless having constant low level of packet loss is operating as normal to them.

    Cybersmart / Lightspeed National Outage
