    The Home Improvements Thread (3)

    We had the same issue on previous tramplines as well. I have to say we bought a freesport at Sportsmans warehouse and while the pad covering the springs and the foam on the poles are long done for the mat and the net is a hell of a lot better than the others. They do have parts as well and are...

    Canal+ axes Showmax

    Only problem here is Kyknet streaming. Wish they could launch a proper Afrikaans streaming channel. Happy to throw R100 to them just for that.

    Any BF fibre specials?

    So after not getting feedback, I decided to make sure to avoid the extra R300 charge and give the 30 days' notice on 29 November. Turns out that downgrade did apply immediately and I immediately got charged an extra R85 while dropping from 1Gb/s to 500Mb/s. So that means I ended up missing the...

    Except for that look at how the mail words it. New price applicable from Jan which is paid end December so that contradicts what you said. Seems to be very confusing.

    Any BF fibre specials?

    I get that. I just want to confirm by when to downgrade. If I downgrade 30 November will it be applicable from 1 Jan and no increase. That's all. Just when to downgrade to avoid the R300 increase. Want to see if it's worth waiting and seeing if another special comes along or not.

    Never mind. Either we are missing each other or you are refusing to answer. This and the constant issues the last few months are making me want to move. It's a simple question and it can't seem to be answered.

    Any BF fibre specials?

    Thanks but that doesn't really answer the question. If we wait until 30 November to change will we be migrated in Jan and not pay the normal rates? Want to hold out and see but need to plan.

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Thanks. Would this also be the cause for some weird slowness the last week or so on Vuma?

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Thanks, that did help a bit, went from under 1mps to about 11. Xbox's are stuck at about 2Mbps though. Very strange and it's only MS. Steam rockets at over 500Mbps. Strange thing is MS goes to over 500Mbps every now and then but then drops to slow. Usually, I know it will cap at around 200Mbps...

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Is anything going on with the Xbox network? Download speeds are terrible and keeps failing. Tested steam and it's absolutely flying. Tried different DNS servers with the same result.

    Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra

    I also came from a Mate 20 Pro and best advice I can give is run a reregister and put down your finger at all angles, it helps a lot, and then when pressing down on the reader press slightly harder to get more surface are on it, always worked for me.
