    Maintenance/repairs as SARS rental income deductible

    Hi All, I bought an investment property and had it painted (the existing paint was flaking) and some plumbing repairs (leaking pipes) done before my new tenant moved in. Is the painting and plumbing viewed as maintenance/repair work because I literally fixed what was broken (and can therefore...

    How did you manage to resolve your problem? Anything I can do from my side?

    Mweb Bad Ping Evenings

    I thought I'll update this post. So after three months of collecting data for Mweb and uploading my results and their support staff agreeing that my performance figures are unacceptable, NOTHING, not a thing, has changed. In fact, things are starting to get worse! Not only is the evening peak...

    Octotel (Octofail) - You Have Been Warned!

    Is this something I can do or must I ask Mweb to look at the line stats?

    Octotel (Octofail) - You Have Been Warned!

    I have a 100/25 Octotel/Mweb connection in Brackenfell. Before 20h00 and after 22h00 I get exceptional speeds - latency 3ms, jitter 1ms, download 99 Mbps, upload 25 Mbps. Between 20h00 and 22h00 my performance is abysmal for gaming and on weekends for downloads too. In this time slot, from...

    Mweb Bad Ping Evenings

    Thank you for the advice! I have reported the problem to Mweb with screenshots of my results as suggested and they have escalated the problem to Octotel. In reality I don't really use the geofilter because I play games in South Africa and abroad in the UK, so it defeats the purpose as you...

    Mweb Bad Ping Evenings

    Enabling and disabling the geofilter or enabling and disabling anti-bufferbloat makes no difference to the results, I have tested it thoroughly over the last week. Since Friday I have even removed the router from the loop and plugged my PC directly into the ONT and the results remain...

    Mweb Bad Ping Evenings

    Hi All, I'm currently on a fibre 100/25 Mweb (Octotel) connection. My router is the Netgear Nighthawk XR500. For the last two weeks or so I experience a substantial drop in my gaming pings every single evening between 20:00 and 22:00 in the order of about 50ms. In this time when I run...

    Mweb Fibre On 3rd Party Routers Not Working Properly

    I recently upgraded to 100/25 Mweb fibre. The WR7010 router Mweb supplied works fine except my download speed maxxes out at 94 Mbps and our household requires better Wifi connectivity. For this reason I connected a TP-Link Archer C7 router which at first gave me the full 100 Mbps download speed...
