    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    Glad to see I'm getting my money's worth here (sarcasm) :cautious: 100Mbps.. please. @AfriGuy when are you going to respond to my message that I sent you on Tuesday? If I don't here back from you then I will have to do the only thing that I can do and that is to downgrade my line speed. At...

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    Same thing every night on my 100 mb line. @AfriGuy I'm still waiting for your reply. I PM'd you yesterday. My latency on speedtest.mybroadband goes from 2ms during the day to 7+ ms at night

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    I'm on a 100/100 line and I'm getting 7Mbps on fast.com. I had better speeds on my saturated Telkom tower with LTE. WTF?? Can't believe I'm forced to leave 40Mbps DSL for this. :rolleyes:

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    This is what I'm getting from 'n 100 down/ 100 up line. Testing Fast.com I'm getting 8Mbps down. Is it Afrihost or is it Teralink? Anyone else having issues with Teralink? My packet loss playing Apex Legends was insane. Had to stop playing. I'm not sure how Afrihost can think that this is...

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    My experience has been really bad from the start. I have Pure Fibre with Teralink on a 100Mbps/100Mbps line. I'm getting 9ms latency with 36Mbps down and 13Mbps up doing the mybroadband speedtest. I don't know where the issue is or who is responsible for this poor performance. Is it Teralink or...

    Fibre Line Migration

    Hi, I ordered Teralink 100Mbps uncapped fibre today. My line was already active before I ordered the fibre and the CPE was already configured for Afrihost. I have managed to activate my fibre by entering my cellphone number in the activation window. Will Afrihost still know that the line must...

    Mexem Africa - Is it legit?

    I'll just probably go with Interactive Brokers. I'll probably trade more than once per month and TD Ameritrade would be more expensive at $7 per trade. Personally, I don't think IB is too complicated. Their Client Portal is very user-friendly and I've also tested out their other platforms. It...

    FNB Global Account Card

    Are they safe? I have read a number of horrible reviews about them.

    FNB Global Account Card

    What would FNB charge for a global transfer using an FNB Global Account to transfer money to an international brokerage account with a base currency in USD? Has anyone used their Global Account for this purpose? Would it cost the same as making the payment from my ZAR cheque account to the...

    Mexem Africa - Is it legit?

    In my recent quest to find a cheaper alternative to the expensive South African stock brokers I have come across Mexem Africa. They are a sort of middle man between the investor and Interactive Brokers which is a well regarded brokerage. Interactive Brokers charge a $10 inactivity fee each...

    Please Rate Vox

    Yes, I am on 100Mbps. I also quickly checked out Isat now and they are really cheap. Do you perhaps know what the R1438 setup fee consists of for Vox? I already paid that upfront. If I move my line rental over to Isat will I then have to pay some sort of setup fee again with Isat or not? I am...

    Please Rate Vox

    I am paying R736 for the line through Vox and R299 for the fat pipe account. I wonder if this would be covered by the consumer protection act even if it is stipulated in the terms and conditions if a sales rep gave the wrong info. Probably the consumer is just screwed over. So how long have...

    Please Rate Vox

    That's what I suspected. They are just a bunch of liars trying to scam people. I just don't know how I would cancel the fibre fat pipe without them also cancelling the fibre line as apparently that is also not possible otherwise I would just have cancelled the fibre fat pipe and kept the line...

    Please Rate Vox

    I was told now by Vox that apparently the DSL Fat Pipe account will only work for a short while on a fibre line and then it will stop working. In that case I will probably be moving to Cool Ideas. At least from what I gather their uncapped package is no nonsense uncapped. Stay away from Vox!
