    SARS declines to answer questions about how Temu and Shein are being taxed from 1 November

    I spoke with a Temu customer agent and asked if they can remove the "original price" from their invoices for South African customers to reduce the taxes that we have to pay. She said that she would take it up with her team. I suggest that everyone who buys from Temu asks them to this. The...

    Router Battery Backup

    It sounds like the same Ultralan that I have. You will need two as you will only be able to select 9V or 12V on the switch selector. Alternatively, get a Ratel.

    Router Battery Backup

    Check if your routers have different power requirements before buying a mini ups. Last year I bought an UltraLAN 45W 8.8ah (same unit as Geewiz.... it's just branding) but my router is 5V and CPE 12V so had to buy another one. Lucky it was cheap back then. I then bought a Ratel 860P (I think...

    Netflix: Manifest

    Thanx, I tried that but Netflix detects it. It only allowed me to rewatch S02E01 and I'm on episode 5. It was still working fine without any proxy or VPN last night.

    Netflix: Manifest

    Has anyone been watching Manifest on Netflix this week? I'm on season 2 and now it no longer plays. It's like it has been removed. You can't find it when searching either. I have it on my "like list" so I can see that it's there but I just can't play it.

    High-speed DSL now cheaper than Vumatel 10Mbps fibre

    If you take the time to read the uproar on social media regarding the the price increase which will be the 2nd one for this year, then HS2000 is only echoing this. Do you have a vested interest in Vuma as you do seem to be a tad upset? And then we still need to contend with the bad network...

    Telkom launches new uncapped fibre products

    The prices and speeds in the article don't add up. Telkom may have a promotional offer at times but when it ends then everyone is on the same speed and pays the same price.

    Claim from Eskom for power surges?

    A few years ago I read that people had claimed from Eskom for damaged appliance due to loadshedding but it took a few months for them to get paid out. Here is an article from last year that has a contact number.

    Android smart TV boxes with fake specs are being sold on Takealot

    A pity that Takealot aren't like Aliexpress where you would have been refunded and kept the item if it is not as described.

    The plan to force South African ISPs to have black ownership

    This type of thing irritates the **** out of me. Gimme, gimme, gimme. All they want to do is take and not work for something and be proud of their own achievements. If you have a good product at a reasonable price, people will buy into it.

    Vox's fibre rollout plan gets debt backing from Investec

    I've had a very good experience with Vox support when I had my ADSL data with them. They would log request on my behalf with Telkom even though my line wasn't with them and it would be sorted our very quickly. They always followed up either with SMS or they would phone me. Now their accounts...
