    Cellular providers apparently don't want business...

    This is true... Still, with their online platforms specifically designed to facilitate this, it shouldn't be necessary. Also, I work... Boss isn't gonna be happy me taking <insert time here> during business hours to go buy a phone.

    Cellular providers apparently don't want business...

    First, I'm in shock my account here still works. Such a nice surprise because it's been years... On to the main point, I decided yesterday that it's time to get a new phone so I started shopping. Here's just a general description of my experience. MTN's website got me as far as selecting the...

    Internet dips at 9pm

    Noticed a huge lag spike last night around the same time as well. Well I was doing programming work so I didn't really feel it but my brother was playing Overwatch and mentioned it. His ping went up to 700ms. I saw similar lag spikes in CSGO to local servers... 700ms to a local server. Can you...

    I don't understand FUP

    Moving to Rocketnet Fiber soon as vuma opens up installations in my area or whatever. They laid the groundwork for it a month or two ago.

    I don't understand FUP

    So I've been messaging MWeb on twitter and they claim that 5 sleeping people in my house with no devices (computers, phones, tablets) powered on, somehow managed to use 50GB+ from 8am this morning even though we slept in and most people only got up around 11-12ish. Having quoted my usage as...

    I don't understand FUP

    So as I've always said... **** me for actually using the service that I pay for...

    I don't understand FUP

    Honestly for the price point my MWeb Uncapped 20mbps ADSL service has a pathetic usage threshold. What do their ads say? No more buffering? What a joke. Due to MWeb's "fair use policy", I'm basically enjoying the 20mbps service that I pay almost R 2000.00pm for only 3-5 days of every month...

    Every time I deal with Afrihost I marvel that they're as big a company as they are

    DISCLAIMER: All of the situations mentioned here have been concluded and resolved and there is no need to address anything here with a mind to helping me find resolution - I'm simply venting frustration I truly have nothing against the guys I speak to at Afrihost but my god is it frustrating...

    Good for Telkom and their monopoly on fixed line services...

    ... because without their monopoly, I'm damn sure they'd have gone out of business by now. I sent the cancellation request for my service in Feb and they only just cancelled it a week or two ago - 10 weeks after I made the request. I had emailed it 4 times, tweeted and DM'd Telkom dozens of...

    Unable to access SMTP servers only when connected to MWeb's network?

    I have a 2mbps ADSL connection with MWeb on a new account and separately, I got a free 1GB capped account with Axxess some time ago. When connected to MWeb's network, I'm not able to connect to any SMTP server via Outlook or telnet. That is to say, any SMTP server, except MWeb's. I can...

    MWeb exemplifies themselves yet again as a leader in customer service

    Financially, things have not been going well for me lately. I managed to kill my credit card in December, but everything else somehow fell apart all at once. Due to this, I've had to cancel my Telkom and MWeb services. Mweb has me so happy right now! I emailed them earlier today to explain that...

    Uncapped 10mbps advertised but not really?

    I'm a new entrant into the 10mbps pool of ADSL users and so far, I'm rather underwhelmed. I was very excited to find that with their special, Openweb's 10mbps offering would only be marginally more expensive than MWeb's 4mbps Premium package that I was on. This is to say that my bills to Telkom...

    How does tax ACTUALLY work?

    I've been working as a freelancer for just over 2 years. One of the projects I've been working on in that time now has me in a position where I can start earning some serious cash (conservative monthly amounts could end up in the neighborhood of R500k). This project carried potentially...
