    Big Frogfoot outage in the Western and Eastern Cape

    Yes, up to recent we were also subject to only having FF as the fno. However that is changing with another (local) operator busy laying fibre throughout Swellendam. It also appears that Openserve and/or Telkom may be/are an alternative, currently looking into that.

    Big Frogfoot outage in the Western and Eastern Cape

    If only one could have blamed a natural disaster for this unbelievable botched catastrophe. But then thinking about it, a natural disaster would not have done such a half-witted job .... With apologies to Leonard Cohen from his last album .... "I’m leaving the table I’m out of the game I...

    Frogfoot Port Elizabeth

    Yesterday we were down most of the day due to an incorrectly spliced cable. Earlier today a small local isp posted the following on our community chat group: "Dear client, contractors hit a low 7-way duct where Frogfoot contractors took shortcuts. Frogfoot has been notified of the outages and...

    Frogfoot response to network outage complaints

    Nope, I'm with Mweb. At the end of the day the ISP for us on the Garden Route becomes fairly insignificant as Frogfoot is about the sole provider of fibre up to the east coast. Any major problem between Cape Town right up to Grahamstown affects us one way or the other especially if one streams...

    Frogfoot response to network outage complaints

    I'm located in Swellendam. Has been reasonable stable since the weekend ...... Could hardly stream radio properly the previous week when working on my desktop. Rather sounded like someone being strangled every couple of minutes .....

    Frogfoot response to network outage complaints

    They've been down between Riversdale and Mosselbay since early Saturday. Still not resolved. Also down in CT. Thus far we've had brief moments like 15 minutes of some internet, then down again for some time. I only use streaming services and my weekend has been buggered thus far.

    Frogfoot response to network outage complaints

    Frogfoot's (lack of available) service the past 2 weeks is atrocious to say the least. For us along the south coast from Somerset West right up to Natal are mostly at the "mercy" of Frogfoot as we do not have the choice of another supplier. Well, there is another smaller local supplier, but from...

    Mweb range extender

    Well, it is not the end of miracles yet .... Have the extender that has been lying in my drawer for close on to 10+ years, never been able to get it to work properly or mod the firmware. Moved into a new home beginning of the month, however study where fibre ONT and router are, is some way from...

    Video streaming services biting at DStv's business

    A boomer i am .... wrote and designed my first programs on 128K "main frames" in the early '70's when most around here were only a twinkle in the eye then ;-)

    Video streaming services biting at DStv's business

    Wrong ...... You'll be surprised how many of us boomers have discovered iptv 4+ years ago ... and said goodbye to Dstv at a fraction of the cost ....

    Mweb speeds

    Been with Mweb for more than 20 yrs (since they took over iAfrica front-end late '90s in Cape Town), always had excellent service from them.

    Frogfoot Port Elizabeth

    I did contact Mweb as only major FF faults or problems are shown on their network status page. Hopefully someone will take it up with FF as it is really a poor show on their part.

    Frogfoot Port Elizabeth

    What happens in PE does not stay in PE ........... To my knowledge Frogfoot is running the infrastructure along the Garden route and south coast up to Durban and therefore also the majority of the infrastructure within towns along this route. I'm located in Swellendam and we have been suffering...
