    Is this normal (got choked)

    Another possible cause could be that your main supply neutral conductor has a high resistance connection at the municipal junction. I had a similar experience a few years ago. My son bought a vandalised house, that was abandoned for a few years. The municipal power was disconnected, allowing...

    Cancelling voice line

    I eventually ended up with Telkom, after stripping my moer for being seriously overcharged for the first month by Vox. Vox did NOT cancel my previous Fat Pipe Service, and instead signed me up for 2 ADSL services on the same line!!! I then cancelled everything with Vox, and signed up with the...

    Vox pure dsl

    I previously had: - Internet line rental and phone service from Telkom. - Fat Pipe data account from Vox. All I wanted to do was to get rid of the Telkom voice service. I followed the Telkom cancellation process to the letter according to Vox instructions, whereafter I notified Vox to convert...

    EasyEquities updated terms?

    I would have agreed with you, except that with EasyEquities, what you see is NOT what you get. Let's say you have about R7000 a month, which you want to invest in Sasol shares. With Sharenet, you issue a buying order of 50 Sasol shares @ R138 each. This will cost you R(6900 + 100), as well as...

    EasyEquities updated terms?

    I can recommend Sharenet. For every transaction: - The Brokerage Fee is 0.3% of the value of the transaction, subject to a minimum of R100. - Securities Tax of 0.25% of the transaction is payable. Their monthly Custody Fee is R84. They require a minimum of R50 000 in value when opening an...

    Easy Equities good or bad?

    Easy Equities: "If you do not agree with our T's & C's as a whole, then you unfortunately cannot use our platform." There may be guys wanting to sell and get out while they can. They will find out that they have no control over the selling price of their equities, as EE retains the right to use...

    Cancelling voice line

    Progress report on my voice line cancellation and Naked ADSL experience: - I have been without ADSL Internet for 10 days and had to use expensive mobile data for essentials only. - Today a Telkom technician visited my home and restored my ADSL connection by making some changes in the...

    Cancelling voice line

    Progress report on my voice line cancellation: - I was told by Vox to first cancel both Telkom Internet Line, and Voice Service, whereafter Vox would apply at Telkom for the Internet line only. Apparently there is also some small hardware change to take place, and is not just a software switch...

    Cancelling voice line

    Theoretically you are correct, although there will be strings attached with Telkom (24 Months contract). I have my own routers, and thus do not need those of Telkom. I see the extra monthly fee as a good investment, and is my contribution to bring competition to the table.

    Easy Equities good or bad?

    Ok, sorry about that. However I still think it would be a good idea to have regulations stipulate the minimum standards to which trading platforms have to conform to.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. Scammers such as these should be prohibited by legislation from doing business in SA. Unfortunately our government is more busy with banning cigarette sales, and therefore do not have the time to protect the other more important interests of its citizens.

    Easy Equities good or bad?

    It is not possible to reverse transactions that have taken place on the JSE. Transactions take place the very second that there is a match between bid and offer prices for a specific share. Multiple buyers may bid for shares offered by a single seller, and vice versa. Buying or selling orders...

    Easy Equities good or bad?

    Used to be BOE, but when they left the country, their clients were taken over by Nedbank Private Wealth. Their platform is functionally not too bad, but their total costs are probably the most expensive in SA.

    Easy Equities good or bad?

    I have just opened an account with EE, since I regularly do some share trading on the JSE, and they are supposed to be much cheaper w.r.t. commissions and fees. I tried the "demo" account to purchase some Sasol shares, and was shocked to find out that you have no control over: - the number of...
