A request went unanswered for more than 24 hours that I eventually had to make a call to their support number to sort out. Why do they bother offering email support, if they aren't going to respond? Using the escalate address mentioned in the auto-reply did bugger all. I assume it must be an...

Story goes like this. All owners have paid to get fibre to each flat. There is fibre in the basement, and onto each floor (risers?) On each floor, there is a 25metre strand of fibre hanging outise EVERY flat, for the past 3 months now. When I call Cybersmart, they say there are still "wayleaves"...

Free prepaid fibre-to-the-home service launched in South Africa Cybersmart has launched a new Lightspeed Free Forever Fibre prepaid deal.

Hi everyone, I am a member of the body corporate of a building here on the Durban beachfront. Ideally we would like to get rid of Telkom for obvious reasons. So i did some research and found that DFA has fibre at the end of the street. I decided to contact a few ISP's for installation...
