    Another price increase

    Maybe its to do with the underlying fibre provider? Mine went down by R176 with a small 5Mbps increase in bandwidth from beginning Feb. You are on Openserve fibre whereas my fibre provider is ZOOM. Also I'm on a mickey mouse 15/15 whilst you on 50/25.

    Fibre Installation - Max distance from street?

    Another price increase

    I'm one of those legacy ballies, been with MWEB since 1999:eek:, started with their async service, dialup uplink and satellite downlink. But I'm getting g@t vol with them, was thinking of upping my 10/10 package to 25/25 with them, then discovered Afrihost are offering a 30/30 package for R2...

    Fibre Installation - Max distance from street?

    We had a huge Zoom fibre rollout in our area last year. Guy came out and did a site survey before they came out and there was also talk about extra charge if it was more that 20m from the connection box in the street. When the installers came out they had a bunch of pre-made ruggedized fibre...

    The official Ubiquiti Devices Q&A Thread

    For an extra $50 you can go for a UDR that gives you so much more. E.g. IDS/IPS, 3 extra ports, 2 x PoE ports, better WiFi specs, etc.

    The official Ubiquiti Devices Q&A Thread

    Ja, that's where I find myself all too often, internal struggle justifying the "not really required" option with the "joh I really want that" and then explaining to the wife why we need to be, up to date/future proof/quality product/best bang for buck/... as opposed to "just good enough" is an...

    The official Ubiquiti Devices Q&A Thread

    So following on with this saga... I decided to get a ER-X and try the alternative environment, and for R1180 thru First Shop it wasn't going to break the bank. It arrived on Friday and I've spent the last few days playing around with the following observations: - The ER-X is pretty simple to...
