    South African online shopping showdown - Prices compared

    I think a real comparison is not just about price. How long will delivery take, as an example? How good is communication? What happens when product is faulty and you want to return it?

    Vumatel speed upgrades [2020-04-01 - 2020-04-06]

    Hmmm and if you are not happy the Vumatel and Frogfoot subscribers might stay while we from ex-SADV (I emphasize again since we are now Vumatel too) might not be doubled? Would be pretty unfair if you double them and not us.

    Vumatel speed upgrades [2020-04-01 - 2020-04-06]

    So I am interested is understanding the SADV upgrade process, which is now technically a Vumatel upgrade as well (since they merged together today!). - from Twitter it seems CISP is still just considering this instead of implementing and slowly monitored upgrades. Why is that?

    The ISP with the highest speed

    Always good speed with Cool Ideas, reliable not so much. I think this is a fundamental SADV issue in my situation, but the DDoS attacks against them in last few months does not help.

    Netgear Orbi or Google WiFi

    I have Orbi - happy so far but wouldn’t mind trying Google WiFi - their support just stinks in SA on practically everything

    [SADV] I want fiber (just the pipe) I have my own PPPoE account, possible?

    I wish it was as simple as just choosing a different FNO. I fully agree with the monopoly comment - we are now 16 days without stable internet. On for a day or two then they try to fix for others and we go down again. I think together with ISP issues I’ve been down more this year on fibre...

    MTN unveils new roaming data bundles

    Yip been there for a while and actually responded via Twitter. Took a while and she believed a team was responding which they didn’t do. Regardless the response and stance explains why MTN will fall in time - they lack real interest in the customer base and focus on short term profit ...

    MTN unveils new roaming data bundles

    I forced an updated message from MTN. The message I got said “We heavily subsidize devices to make smart phones more affordable for more South Africans, which is necessary in a country where we were we offer such extensive 4G coverage, but so many people can't afford 4G devices. Our...

    MTN unveils new roaming data bundles

    Yip I agree - if only I could get an answer to dual sim phones from MTN I would travel easy and always just pop in a local sim. Still waiting for Jacqui to reply on MTN’s stance on this ...
