    Is it difficult to switch fibre providers without any downtime?

    ok so im guessing the process went pretty smooth, I see openserve is doing some shady business now too where they are doubling speed but you need to opt out before the end of feb or they will start charging you for the higher speeds... that seems so shady so that convinced me to make the move now

    was using openserve a bad idea?

    you tell me, afrihost send me an sms saying the line technician will be here on the 22nd of august. I even contacted Afrihost to confirm if they'll actually come on a Sunday, and the Afrihost support told me that they would, because I had that exact same concern.

    was using openserve a bad idea?

    So i decided to finally go fibre with 50 download 25 upload using afrihost, with openserve as the fibre provider... but im getting bad telkom vibes from openserve. The fibre was installed 2 weeks ago into my house. However they needed to fix a fault and they have ignored me for 2 weeks straight...

    Anyone know someone who does monitor repairs in the Centurion area?

    My 2nd monitor just died, So I was wondering if anyone in the centurion area knows a place to repair monitors. It could just be a blown capacitor. which would be way cheaper to fix than buying a new monitor.

    Is there any way to port forward? or change NAT type?

    Its really frustrating, cause I cant connect to a friend in one of the new steam game I got cause of the strict NAT type. I know you cant port forward, and there is only NAT type 3 and 4 available in the the advanced settings. Is there any way to bypass this without needing to pay for a VPN?
