    Openserve killing ISP profits with IPC charges

    I remember reading something decades ago about Telkom losing a case because some clever lawyer argued that waving at someone across the street is essentially transmitting a signal using light which is part of the RF spectrum.

    Openserve killing ISP profits with IPC charges

    I am so sorry, but I don't understand this logic? I travel around this country constantly, and have yet to find a "rural" area that has DSL? And the few that did, no longer do, because of the decommissioning of copper, which they says is cable theft, but I drive around and see all the cables in...

    DStv without a decoder - 2020 expected release date

    DSTV Now works without the decoder being plugged in. I have a client who rents a semidetached. Her landlord wouldn't let her put up a dish, as in really dumb rule, but there was fibre in the house. So I got her two Xiaomi Mi Box S media players, which are ama-zing by the way, and sheput her...

    Telkom Mobile to Telkom Fixed Line Diversion

    We have a mobile number that we want to port to Telkom Mobile. We also have a PRI with Telkom. We want to divert the mobile number to a DID on our PRI. 1. If a call is diverted, and another call comes in, will also divert and be received on another channel, or will it simply go to voicemail? 2...

    DStv without a decoder - 2020 expected release date

    Dear Multichoice Welcome to the 21st Century, some of us missed you. I would subscribe in a heartbeat if I could get DSTVNow with a sports only package. Kindest Regards Karl #JustSaying

    My fibre went down and everything was terrible

    Geez man, my fibre went down during the night once... the problem was a mouse had gotten to my SC APC cable and eaten through it. So I grabbed a spare (I work in cabling) and was back online. Did some research and found a reddit on the top mouse traps. The favourite was obviously the shotgun...

    Call for Cell C boycott

    The news we received is disgusting. Telkom is decommissioning ADSL country wide, and many of our client's can only connect via Cell C LTE. Every other option is too pricy or stuck in a 24month contract. Now Cell C is ditching everyone. I am porting all my Cell C mobile simcards out of Cell C...

    Crystal Web DSL performance feedback thread Part 4...

    My concern is if they don't have an ECS license which seems to be the case, how long till the data accounts go dead? Will I still be liable to pay when that happens? Should I stick around to see if that is going to happen?

    I have started receiving invoices for all my accounts from EvoNet and they seem to be including the @baseadsl which is for the DSL line rental which has been the cause of my customers leaving me? Should we be liable for those accounts?

    A Barr is 1 million dollars * holds pinky to bottom lip as colleagues burst out laughing * Actually Paul Hjul, the only remaining person at CW (it would seem), has been very open and responsive with us regarding everything. He is also now sitting in a very uncomfortable situation as a result of...

    Crystal Web DSL performance feedback thread Part 4...

    This is how I understand everything. Telephone lines will be terminated by Telkom but they will still be billed for until the debt is recovered. Client cannot order a new service until the debt is recovered. I have managed to retain just 5 users. 2 of which are taking LTE form me. 1 is taking...
