10Mbps uncapped fibre and ADSL prices in South Africa compared - 2012 vs 2020
In the middle of 2012, Afrihost launched its latest broadband product - a 10Mbps uncapped ADSL account.
At the time, it made a big splash as it was much cheaper than competing products on the market - only R997 per...
So I just got home. Our Internet wasn't working since the 10th of January. Called on the 12th. Sent a techie today. They were liasing with my sister. So they replaced our ADSL router (D-Link) with a Huawei B315v with obviously a sim card inside.
Wtf? My sister is only coming back tonight for me...
Hi. I am moving to a new address the end of January. The house is in Patrys street, Blomvlei, Bellville, 7530. At my current address I have 50/50 fibre. At the new address fibre has not yet been installed, but in all the surrounding suburbs it is. So I though my closest alternative to Fibre...
Hey guys so I wanted to know how this works. I want to switch from Telkom adsl to Mweb adsl so can i just cancel my telkom internet, keep the landline line and switch to Mweb?
Massive ADSL cable theft in Mitchells Plain
Openserve has reported a major incident of copper cable theft in Eisleben Road, Portland in the Mitchells Plain area.
The company said that on 12 December 2019, multiple cables of varying lengths were stolen in the area.
Hello. I was recently contacted by Telkom regarding moving over to LTE from ADSL since there is currently no fibre in my area. Also recently, I heard from another service provider that they would be installing fibre in my area and that it would be operational by January 2020. I would prefer to...
I currently have a 10mbps ADSL line through Telkom directly.
I have been contacted by Rain and offered their 5G service (uncapped, unshaped @ R1000 pm).
I have been looking at other option for faster speeds and given Telkom's ADSL decommissioning exercise. (I don't have Fibre available)...
Telkom cuts off ADSL customer with no other connectivity
A Telkom customer from Centurion recently reached out to MyBroadband after Telkom informed him that it would suspend his ADSL connection.
This follows Telkom announcing it would gradually phase out its copper infrastructure.
I’ve been in contact with Telkom to ask them what’s been happening to my ADSL line. All they can give me is “We testing the line” (which has been off for a few days) but can’t tell me any more information, or how many days it’s going to be.
So i just got a call from Telkom about them removing the ADSL copper lines in my area and giving us LTE routers in the meantime until they can install fiber but the thing is that in my landline will have to go through that LTE router until they can install fiber, and what about blackouts? These...
Hi there all, I live in Linbro Park, the internet availability here... Is questionable to say the least, We had adsl here until the lines were stolen so much they decided to stop installing new ones, now our only option is LTE which is too expensive, and just not stable enough for us.
The speeds...
Is this a good deal?
1. I am currently paying almost R650 for ADSL (220 Telkom + 420 Axxess) for less than 4Mbps line and use about 120-150GB a month. But my line is mostly consistent for 95% of the time.
2. Will the Telkom Fixed LTE be reliable? (from your experience)I know it will also...
Hi Everyone.
I am not sure if this is the right place to query about this. But my ADSL 4Mb/s line with Telkom has not been working for almost 2 months now. I am a working university student. I can safely say that the reason my results are so bad is because of telkom and now it turns out I might...
Hello guys!
This is my first post so sorry if this is just another repeat of someone else's post. But, I really need the help. I'm a teenager who is this household's only hope in finding out the best package for us and whether or not we're being overcharged.
Currently, we have a 4Mbps 40GB +...
Hi everyone/anyone
I am moving from a small town in the northern cape to Hermanus(Voëlklip ). My best option was a 4Mbps Adsl line from telkom. I assumed that I would have more and better options in Hermanus, but after a quick look it seem that best option again will be a 4Mbps line from...

Is anyone using the ISP Active Fibre?
I'm struggling to find reviews and would love to have some feedback.
Their prices and benefits seems very good but is it worth avoiding leading ISP's like Rocketnet and Cool Ideas?
Your feedback is appreciated.
