    HUAWEI B618 LTE-A router discussion thread.

    Hi all, lightning hit my house today and fried everything on my network as the primary wiring that it found was my vast Ethernet network. I’m replacing all of my switches and some Wi-Fi routers because they all fried, but I’m not sure what to get for my main LTE router on Telkom lte. I had the...

    Game Delivery Times

    Massmart well, really could have done so well with competent online ordering. That said, the last free months I ordered a tv and an oven, and both times they were delivered the next day. This game order will probably end up as a dispute with the bank as they don’t give me any comfort that it...

    Game Delivery Times

    I just needed to share a funny story. I ordered a fan online. Their system logs my correct address and all is good. The delivery company, Wumdrop, have a completely different address, some 20km away from me, some house. They probably got orders mixed up so I hope they enjoy the fan at that...

    Hi all, looking for an ultrasonic cleaner, can be small as it’s only for small parts and jewellery. Prefer metal over those plastic ones unless they really work…

    Just pay it. I don’t argue with them on the customs side usually unless it’s way off. They once mistook Indian rupees for dollars on and order and tried to charge me R25000 for a R1000 item lol. PS my package has been found in Tokyo, and literally a few hours after I ordered another similar...

    Thanks. It’s now been over a week and they still have reflected it, after a floor search was requested on Monday already. They now tell me I need to wait 10 working days and lodge another claim package. When I asked for the claim form to prepare in the meantime, I was told that first they need...

    Thanks re the first thing I did. It doesn’t. What does happen if you have a look is that they append a prefix onto the shipping codes, I’ve seen it with items from Paris and the US too. The latter they append the zip code to the original supplier tracking number and I’ve tried everything to...

    Sorry to bring this back - but ive used the Japan address for the first time and its been three days without being scanned into my account. How long did your last one take? Two weeks? My challenge is that its a small but very high value item. Ive got the POD that shows everything correct and...

    GPU - Old vs. New Price Discussions

    Why? Have you seen the prices of cards lately? Although cards seem to be priced based on thei mining capability, not gaming performance.

    GPU - Old vs. New Price Discussions

    Yeah, If I bought petrol a decade ago and kept it and it somehow stayed good, I could sell it for more than I paid for today. But I see what the guys are referring to, new card vs old with same performance. The 1080 cards are just power hungry.
