    Finding out if wholesale fibre exists in my area?

    Is there any way to check if any existing wholesale fibre has already been installed in my area? There doesn't seem to be any website/s that given an indication of whether any fibre exists in most areas (kind of like a coverage map). Any help with this will be appreciated. Thanks,

    A ton of people on MyBB (and a lot of people MyBBers talk to about fibre) are really getting excited about the prospects of having internet speeds of the 21st century.

    Ideas to stop loadshedding - purely theoretical

    So, I thought I'd start this thread merely as an exercise in collective creativity. Important to note: Absolutely none of our ideas will ever be implemented, but what is stopping us from using our creativity to address a this problem in a theoretical sense. Let us put out a few rules...

    Lenovo T430 - Is this genuinely a good deal?

    Hey there folks, Just been evaluating the prices of laptops these days and it's kind of weird to see Celerons being sold at some brick & mortars for 4-5K. So Esquire decided to offer this recently: http://www.esquire.co.za/specials/2014_12_09Main.html The Lenovo T430 is a 3rd-gen...

    ADSL monthly consumption - What is yours?

    I thought I'd start this thread to gauge numbers and see what everyone is consuming and at what speeds. It would've been nice to make a complex poll, but I'm not sure MyBB has support for a forum poll that is multiple choice with multiple questions. So, what I'm going to do is: After 10-15...

    Cheap Online Store?

    Would any of you by from an online store that was 7-15% cheaper than every other online store for PC hardware and electronics? The only catch is that you would have to pick up your purchases from a drop-off point once a month (primarily GP). Feedback is welcome.

    Using loadbalancing to address GP water supply?

    Hello, If you are in the ICT sector, you may be familiar with a concept called "load-balancing" that is normally used to handle server loads. Now based on this principle of "balancing a load", would it be possible to do the same thing with the current water shortage in GP? For example...

    Afrihost vs Axxess: Zest T1 data difference

    I remember Afrihost first offering the Zest T1 phone at a price of R1999 with 12GB of mobile data. Unsure of the terms, I assume this data was available for 12 months. Now Axxess are offering the same phone at the same price, with half the data (6GB). AFAIK, Afrihost bought Axxess not too...

    Workstation: Laptop vs. Desktop (+OS)

    Out of interest to see what everyone uses daily at work, I thought I'd ask this. So what do you use primarily? A laptop or a desktop? What OS is your primary OS on your primary workstation? (Request for a poll to be made has been sent).

    As the title thread says, I am considering importing a laptop from the US.
