    Afrihost Fibre Server at Home

    Leave all of this, on afrihost just start doing whatever you had planned, and then see how it goes. You won't have issues. They themselves are basically telling you that.

    WARNING: Switch Telecoms hidden billing traps, non-disclosure, and refusal to release call recordings

    You signed up on a prepaid account, so you have to pay up front. You used a few days in that month, and obviously need to pay in full before the next month for next month's service. I really don't see the need for all the drama. The post paid option would charge you after the month ends but...

    Anybody used a Sonoff smart switch for their geyser etc?

    You cannot replace the geyser breaker with the start timer. You need to wire this in series with the existing breaker. This product doesn't replace the need for a circuit breaker. Doing such is not compliant and a fire risk. Nevertheless, the 32a sonoff as quoted is a new model and is perfect...

    Meili Logistics accused of inflating customs duties on AliExpress, Temu, and Shein

    Yup, I bought 5 small items from one seller and it was split into 5 different packages. According to the seller, it's aliexpress warehouse that does that. Mission to pay each separately. Probably inflated customs and a service charge on each separately as well. Ridiculous

    Why does Afrihost’s default CGNAT profile break Metrofibre lines? (And why is front-line support blind to it?)

    Another option, find an isp that does pppoe on metrofibre. Eg I was with websquad on metrofibre, they use pppoe. The very same metrofibre line, afrihost use dhcp. Talk to @websquadza

    Why does Afrihost’s default CGNAT profile break Metrofibre lines? (And why is front-line support blind to it?)

    Maybe try leaving the ONT off for 20 mins or so then switching on again. That usually clears up any mac address binding on dhcp or cache issues on the ONT. Easier than hours spent with support. Obviously first prize is not to change the mac address. Or use pppoe if possible.

    Experiences with livestainable.co.za?

    If you paid by card, you can reverse it with your bank. It will take a while though.

    Afrihost Hell. Just stay away from them.

    The time frame rings a bell. I had the same problem on metrofibre, 7 days after install. No ip address recieved over dhcp. I had changed the router shortly after install, turns out the dhcp was bound to the previous routers mac address. After a week (the ip reservation it seems), it stopped...
