    Number porting in SA - Easier than expected

    Hi richjdavies, I'm trying this on the off-chance that you have notifications switched on, or that someone else online knows about this. I have received exactly the same message after porting from FNB Connect to MTN. Everything went through. I have confirmed via MTN's self-RICA option on their...

    Cybersmart / Lightspeed National Outage

    I'm up again this morning. Not 100% but I'm up again. I'm in Sea Point. I would move to another provider if I had a choice, but my apartment building is "blocked". I'm trying to find out if there is a technical reason for this, or simply a Body Corporate decision.

    Cybersmart / Lightspeed National Outage

    Their website loads fine and there is no report of outage on it.

    Cybersmart / Lightspeed National Outage

    Likewise my apartment building. On moving in I signed up with Cool Ideas only to get feedback a week later via Octotel: "This is a roadblock building. Cybersmart is in the building." So I was forced to go with Cybersmart if I wanted fibre. Less than a month later this outage, which does not...

    Big hike in Google One prices in South Africa

    An update: I decided to visit the Google One settings page one more and now *was* able to downgrade my plan to R100 GB at R349.99 per annum. So life is good once more :-).

    Big hike in Google One prices in South Africa

    I get that prices increase, especially in ZAR. And I get that they (apparently) did not change since 2019 ...however... I have a 200 GB annual plan and I no longer need 200 GB, so I'd like to opt for the 100 GB plan and save a few Rand. Unfortunately this is not possible. Even though a search...

    ET500 gate motor problem

    I've just done a little more sleuthing: After I reset the system (by opening and closing the manual release) the system gives its normal 1-5 beeps (depending on load setting). If I press the "test" button or the remote button, the relay closes (visible through the clear plastic cover) and the...

    ET500 gate motor problem

    Hi, I've searched the existing threads and could not find help for my problem, so am writing this new post. I have a dual gate system with two ET500 motors. One recently would not close properly. I checked for rolling resistance manually (with pinion disengaged), but could feel anything or...

    VDSL slowdown

    Since my OP I have finally had a reply from Afrihost confirming that they are throttling me. I have exceeded my data use threshold according to their AUP (200 GB over a rolling 30-day period for my 20 Mbps "uncapped" package). The "solution" is interesting: migrate from my current 20 Mbps Home...

    VDSL slowdown

    I have an uncapped 20/10 VDSL service from Afrihost/Openserve. For months I have experienced a crippling slowdown shortly before 21:00 on a nearly daily basis. By this I mean a speed of under 1 Mbit/sec, and often close to zero...in other words, it is impossible to do anything useful, and...
