    Absa and Nedbank have significantly reduced their branch footprints

    This closing of branches actually has an interesting positive side-effect as well. It is pushing a lot of anti-technology type of people to learn the basics of computing, or risk being left unable to manage their affairs.

    MTN/Supersonic Fibre Experience

    You can just imagine what a chaotic scene it will be when Supersonic cuts MyBB's internet access should they not appear on the list, or be criticized in any way. ;)

    Big unlimited calling problem in South Africa

    This is why we can't have nice things. There is always that guy that walks away with the buffet table and then complains that he can't fit it through the door.

    New driving licence machines to cost R334 million each

    New driving licence machines to cost R334 million each

    You gotta give it to SA's politicians. When it comes to wasting an ailing country's finances they are at the front of the line proving that they don't feel anything for the masses that cannot afford to put food on the table. Another recent example...

    IPTV Buffering???

    Chances are just about 0% that the service you are looking at is legal. Only Multichoice have the broadcasting rights to their own DStv/Supersport channels and everyone else that are supplying it are pirating it. Update: The fact that the IPtv service mentioned only accepts payment via...

    Cyril Ramaphosa in talks with Elon Musk about Starlink (and other investments)

    Mark would apparently like to speak to Elon about what can happen to these investments once the money is in SA. https://businesstech.co.za/news/wealth/90984/sa-billionaire-shuttleworth-loses-r250-million-tax-case/

    Testing ISP email support

    You have to specify that you want the 5Ghz Wi-Fi band activated, which is different from the 5G Mobile network. I have found that most non-technical persons that I deal with assume it is the latter when you say 5G. Are Herotel's routers locked down so that you cannot do it yourself? Update: I...

    Fourways Mall's free Wi-Fi tested

    Had to double-check the date of the article to confirm that it was indeed published today and not in 2004 when I saw 3Mb/s. [emoji1] It is a fact that there are people flying at 30,000 feet this very moment connected at higher speed in economy class. OR Tambo and Starbucks should be the...

    Testing ISP email support

    I see your WebAfrica and raise you a Supersonic. There is no explanation how this company can still be in business, let alone sign up new clients. Every single time you try to contact their accounts dept. via Whatsapp, the chat request is never answered and times out at the end of the work day...

    Vuma connection box vandalised

    Vote with your wallet and cancel. Make it very clear that it was due to lack of service on their part and don't do any further payments. LTE/5G should hold you in the meantime, although that is not ideal when you are used to the stability of fiber. It looks like sabotage from a rival...

    Help Needed Small Scale VOIP Business Needs

    Always received good service from this voip provider: https://www.iewc.co.za/services/voip/ Almost forgot we were using them as the system is rock-solid, so it has not been necessary to contact them in quite a while.

    Rain has lost its value proposition in the mobile market

    Are any of SA's banks still using sms for 2FA? Seriously wondering, but too lazy to Google. 😄

    Rain has lost its value proposition in the mobile market

    Interesting. MTN's coverage must be very patchy where you are for it to be a deal-breaker, unless there is another reason why that is so important? As far as international roaming is concerned, to each is own. As someone that regularly works with it, I am seeing that more and more users...

    Rain has lost its value proposition in the mobile market

    Been using AirMobile for a while now and quite happy with it. No more having to contend with nonsense advertising popups about pseudo-English products when you just want to check your balance. Interestingly enough the data works much better than it did when I was an MTN subscriber, even though...

    Afrihost 1Gbps International Bandwidth

    More or less fine on Openserve 500Mb/s to London, so no, Afrihost is not throttling speeds. Have never seen any throttling in the 3 years that we are using this line.
