    WACS cable break - Slow SA Internet speeds

    I tried playing World Of Tanks. 430ms ping. It's a shitshow. Now what to keep me busy with?

    WACS cable break - Slow SA Internet speeds

    Not again. Not now. How will we remain sane in this lockdown?

    South Africans are leaving the country in "big numbers". Here's why that's not good.

    My daughter's boyfriend at school and his family are leaving permanently for the Netherlands in March. Apparently there are now many firms in the Netherlands looking for Afrikaans speakers since it easy for them to adopt the language. Family of 4 gone. Both parents are in IT.

    Official Vox DSL feedback thread

    Why is Vox the only ISP in town that has not made plans to buy bandwidth through other cable suppliers like Afrihost and others did? This has now been going on since late December, and last night my download speed on fibre was only 25% of my contract spec. And at around 350ms ping WoT is...

    South Africans are leaving the country in "big numbers". Here's why that's not good.

    Both my sons indicated that they will leave after they studied and built up some experience. I will miss them, but will feel better knowing that their future will be better elsewhere, where they won't be discriminated against because they are white, and won't have to hide behind electrified...

    Rate Vox

    Nope. Still have over 330ping to US servers compared to 230 before. Don't know where you get that fairytale from.

    How South Africa's Internet survived multiple cable breaks

    Any news on when this will be fixed? Hopefully by now the ship has sailed up north from Cape Town.

    Bad news for IT professionals in SA

    We are still looking for experienced Java / Spring developers, Cape Town based. By experienced, I mean like 10 years plus. There are too many developers that know languages and platforms, but have no experience with business systems in general, as well as support and learning on their own and...

    Seems like Vox is going down the Crystal Web rabbithole.

    Real newegg ships to sa now!!

    My issue with this is warranty claims. Having to ship the unit back etc, is a real pain and with high tech components warranty claims are a high probability. I am currently going through just such a thing, lucky I bought local. Wootware is a 5 min drive from where I stay.

    Anyone have 3900x?

    BTW, this was so far the best review of mid to high range X570 MOBOs I could find on the net. https://nl.hardware.info/artikel/9411/15-amd-x570-moederborden-review-op-de-proef-met-een-3900x In Dutch though, but should not be a problem to read for most of us, hey? They even have a whole...

    Mechanical keyboards

    I have recently acquired a Corsair K70 Mod 2 with Cherry MX Brown. Absolutely the bomb. I have been a software dev for 29 years now, and this is the second best keyboard I ever worked with. The best was those IBM keyboards that came with the IBM PS/2 Microchannel PCs that had a casing made out...
