    Warning to Axxess users - Check your contract

    I recently was on a mission to improve my internet speed as I was only getting around 2 Mbps.

So after logging into my Axxess account I saw that I was...

    OpenWeb poor service now a trend

    Best ADSL Upload Speed

    I'm looking for the cheapest 1MB upload speed, if that's still the max for ADSL? More than that would be great too, if still ADSL. Can't seem to see UL mentioned anywhere on Telkom site or any of the bandwidth provider sites :( AFAIK, 4MB is .5MB up and 10MB is 1MB up. There are 6MB and 8MB...

    Telkom giving me the run-around, Afrihost apathetic

    I recently moved my line over from Telkom to Afrihost, mainly because I was sick of paying for "uncapped" and getting capped every single month after around 200GB usage (I have 5 quite heavy users on the same line, Netflix, gaming and YouTube). Part of the reason I wanted to move over to...
