    Constant disconnects; JHB East; SADV/Vuma

    Yeah, not a good story tonight. Granted, we are having loadshedding, but it isn't normally like this. Vumatel (ex SADV)/Cool Ideas - 100Mbps Edenburg (Riversands)

    iMessage activation issue

    I'm not using an eSIM so I suspect it's not the same issue. In almost all cases I have seen on this thread, it happens after restoring the iPhone, usually after getting a new one - not randomly. It seems to be something around the SMSes on the contract. In some cases, on contracts that allow it...

    iMessage activation issue

    It is very definitely an issue with Vodacom but they appear to be just ignoring it.

    50 hours on. Still no ETR let alone an update or anything from Cool Ideas that gives me hope that anyone is actually doing something about this.

    Ticket #COOL-20211220-840160 refers. This announcement: Just thought it odd that there are so many open ones for Vumatel at the same time.

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

    Does anyone know what on earth is going on with Vumatel at the moment? There are dozens of open outage notices on the Announcements page, all over the country. I’ve been out since yesterday afternoon (Vumatel SADV/Edenburg|Rivonia). Quite concerning to see such a large number of outages all open...

    Generator or Inverter for residential use?

    That Sunsynk/Hubble combo you talk about in that post. Sandton. Must admit I know very little about the topic so it may not even be suitable, but getting an idea from this forum. Thanks!

    Might be, if Openserve was an option ... which it isn't in our complex. SADV is the only option.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    To clarify: The card machine asks for the PIN. Not Apple Pay/the phone or watch. Once Apple Pay has communicated with the machine, my understanding is that it is like any other contactless transaction, and a PIN might be required.

    Here again too, down 10 - 12 minutes, intermittent. SADV/Vuma trenched, Edenburg (Rivonia). This is getting tiresome.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    My understanding is that what should happen in that case (exceeding the tap transaction "floor limit") is that their machine should ask for, and you should provide, the PIN. That's according to instructions on a new Amex card I got last week. Not a "can't use tap for the transaction", that's...

    Likewise in Rivonia, SADV/VUMA 50/50 trenched, down from around 4.30pm to 5.15pm. This is starting to become a regular occurence, several days a week. Sometimes a CPE power cycle fixes it but today not.
