    WebAfrica worste service ever!

    WebAfrica has shocking customer service. I moved house and requested fiber at the new address. The agents advised me to not use the move option, but rather the option to cancel and if they can find something they can contact me, this was supposedly to get me a good deal with Frogfoot.

    Afrihost Fiber Can't Fix Slow Internet

    What happens behind the scenes when you upgrade your speed?

    Hi, does anybody know the process? Who does the actual upgrade? ISP or Infrastructure? From accepting the T&C's on Thursday to last night at 11pm when the actual speed upgrade happened. Is this the usual timeframe?

    D-link 825ACG1 Alternative

    I got an 8Mb Fibre Afrihost package. A speed test indicates 20mb but I attribute that to a free upgrade during lockdown. With the package came a Nokia modem and a d-link 825ACG1 wifi router.

    Finally cutting the Telkom cord any recommendations on fiber providers?

    Someone recommended me MTN Supersonic 10mbps up and down for R659. We are a home and use the internet for everything and often go over our 150GB softcap. I want to know is there any other packages I can look into that are affordable? We stream a lot, fiber is in my area.
