Hello everyone, I've bought a Telkom prepaid sim about a year ago and ever since I've had it I've been experiencing poor reception/signal and as a result, unstable internet.
I had planned to use this sim for casual mobile gaming but that is not viable due to said poor reception. I would be...
Hi all
I hope the tech gurus get to this one.
One of the laptops at home is not detecting home wifi router but is detecting all others.
The router is detected by multiple other phones and another laptop as well - so I don't think the issue is with the router.
Not sure if this adds value...
Hi All,
I recently got Fibre, 15 October 2020, and couldn't be more excited until I started running some speed tests lol.
I decided to sign up with Home-Connect as they were the cheapest...and Frogfoot was the only available FNO in my area. I opted for the 200/200Mbps package they offer.

Hi.

I have a Sony Bravia TV model 40EX520. I have just connected it with a network cable to my router and it seems as if the connection is good. However when I try to connect to the internet, I get a message 2200. I suspect that maybe...
So, put simply, I just wanna know who is "actually" in control of the bandwidth I receive on my fibre connection?
I am with Vumatel and Afrihost. I have a 20/20 premium, uncapped connection; which at times works perfectly and other times not too well at all.
I have read that many RSA lSPs...

My family lives in a picturesque small town in the Western Cape but their Internet connection is awful. They are currently on mweb adsl. After some poking around online it seems that there are better options around but it's not clear what the best options are for isolated small towns in SA. Can...

I use a modem and a MiFi. I want to use the modem for large downloads and the Mifi for browsing and small downloads.

At what stage of a Telkom land-line call is it considered successful and charged for?
I have always presumed that you were charged once the other party picked up and you were 'connected' but recently I've been informed that the 'Skype' method of charging as soon as the other party is dialled...
