    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    I bet you his fiber came right thirty minutes ago as mine did then. I'm guessing your engineer who knows whats going on, arrived at work early as engineers often do and in the first five minutes realized what went wrong and fixed it :p

    2 pack I'd like to give it to my sister and two nephews. They have two old b/g/n class only access points on their side of the house we share, that they switch from one corner to another corner of house due to limited range. These units with their mesh feature and upto AX protocol support means...

    Frogfoot Cape Town

    This is the past week on Frogfoot. Pings direct from my router to next hop, which is Afrihost. Lots of periods of terrible to no connectivity for several minutes to an hour. I only joined Frogfoot about a month ago. I've decided to keep my WISP connection as well for now, as Frogfoot is not...

    Have you accepted Whatsapp's new privacy policy? Will you?

    I uninstalled WhatsApp in January after sending a message to all my contacts informing them why I would not longer be on WhatsApp. Haven't missed WhatsApp. Telegram and Signal work fine.

    Router Advice Needed (Advanced Setup, Wifi, Home Automation - Current MikroTik User)

    Perhaps the OP does not know the differences between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi. 2.4Ghz travels much better through objects like walls, so it'll reach much further than 5Ghz.

    How important is local content to you?

    I don't care where content comes from. I don't watch any local content though as I find none of it worth watching.

    Will you stick with Whatsapp?

    I informed everyone on my WhatsApp list that I would be removing myself from WhatsApp. A week later I removed WhatsApp from my phone and the Windows desktop client and now only run Telegram and Signal. I'm very happy that I'm finally off that horrible piece of spyware with that data gobbling...

    Rate MWEB

    Been with Mweb on ADSL for many years. Have switched over to other isp's for a little while but always came back to Mweb. Network quality has always been good. Pings to gaming servers always good. On the couple of times I've called them for support, they have been helpful and able to deal with...

    Digital Transformation Survey - Win cool prizes

    Done. I got invited to the survey, but the questions assume you work for a big corporation. I have my own business with a partner. I could not in any way, sort of answer to the questions the way they were asked. Options were way too limited with too many assumptions. Can these people who came...
