    Poor show, Afrihost!

    Still doesn't make sense not to have prior public warning of an increase / or show the "new" price. I was left red-faced when I recommended the package to a friend and he got excited about the current price (which he also checked on the site) only to be told it would be increased on the 1st...

    Poor show, Afrihost!

    On Tue 2024/01/30 I got a notification of a price increase on my Pure Fibre package to R577.00 pm, but nowhere is that even mentioned publicly it appears. Even your website right now still shows... (false advertising much?)

    E-Waste Recycling Authority offering up to R600 in Makro vouchers per person per day over two weekends

    Can you please check if the vouchers are indeed restricted to specific products or can one for example buy some FOOD at Makro with them? (what does it actually say on the vouchers?)

    What trickery is this?

    So I have been paying R497 for your OpenServe (long-time 25d/10u but then you forced a higher speed & higher payment on me, but never mind). Invoices have always showed: - 25Mbps Openserve Pure Fibre - 25Mbps Pure Uncapped Fibre - 25Mbps/10Mbps Openserve Fibre I was then apparently...

    btw, why aren't these sites secure as is supposed to be the norm? (won't even allow https)

    SABC at risk of collapse

    Quote: “Our competitors can scale and reach a larger audience at substantially lower distribution costs and time to market,” the SABC said. What a bunch of corrupt & greedy a-holes. As a taxpayer-funded "public broadcaster" it shouldn't be trying (or even allowed) to compete with any commercial...

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    Same in Centurion, Gauteng. (The status page is less than helpful. Indicates "degraded Openserve throughput" for Pretoria when one can't even login at all) Edit (09:51): A miracle has manifested on this bright, sunny day: Can now at least log in :)

    How to get a response from Afrihost helpdesk?

    So what's happening at/to Afrihost this morn? My fibre Internet login is all of a sudden being rejected. How do I get some kind of response & resolution on ticket KHW-167-31988? I am NOT impressed with PITA wassap kind of support. Today is not a holiday for me and I need to work. I can't rely on...

    78% of Grade 4 learners cannot read, but the government wants to teach them programming

    If something like this doesn't make any sense, just "follow the money". (Who is going to make (or has already made) a truckload of money out of pushing for this?)

    Twitter via Afrihost... What the...

    With the undersea cable "faults" & whatnots, I can understand slow connections, but only Twitter seems completely unavailable. (times out with nothing shown on screen. Pings also fail). HOWEVER, going via a Browser proxy/VPN - with the VPN server connected to, being in the USA nogal, Twitter...
