    Vox Speed Issues Since Price Increase

    Ever since Vox added a few hundred rand to our bill, our internet speed has been terrible. This past week has been the worst. We are only getting 8 megabytes per second on a 100 megabyte line, both upload and download. The upload speed test does not even work. It fails every time.

    Axxess Fibre DNS Issue

    DNS resolves fine using public third-party DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.9, etc), but when using the ISP's automatic servers, queries seem to have all been failing today - wasn't an issue before. Is anyone else experiencing issues with resolving DNS through Axxess fibre PPPoE accounts...

    How is it possible Supersonic still exists???

    Recently, I’ve been helping a family member downgrade their fibre line. They’re on the older side and, as they put it, not very “tech-savvy.” The initial request for the downgrade was made three months ago. They even received an SMS confirming that the downgrade was processed. Problem: Three...

    Poor Vodacom support for issue with my Fibre ONT

    Good Evening All, I'm with Vodacom on the Metrofibre network. I contacted Vodacom over two weeks ago about an intermittent issue where the broadband light on my ONT would flash red for a few minutes per day, leaving me without internet. They said the turnaround time is 24-72 hours, yet two...

Ideally for a month to...

    Fibre connection repair cost question

    I have accidentally pulled the patch cable out of its sleeve (plug) from my hEXs ethernet router. My ISP is now quoting me R5500+ to have it repaired. The quote includes 5 hours of testing, a new scoop fibre distribution box, a new patch cable and sundries. Does this sound correct!?

    Supersonic / MTN Business very poor international connectivity

    I'm with Supersonic fibre, 200/200 Mbps, which apparently uses MTN Business for connectivity, including globally. And I'm really struggling with international bandwidth. Since the cable breaks back in May, international connectivity is slow and spotty. Local is fine. Here's proof: two...

    Exhausted by Afrihost

    I recently cancelled my service with Vox because it was becoming too expensive. Couldn't find anything really cheap but decided to go with Afrihost. Vox indicated that the line was released. Vuma indicated that a forced circuit can switch our line. Lots of back and forth for 2 weeks on...

    Migrating from Telkom to Afrihost

    Hi MyBB Community I am toying with the idea of moving my fibre line from Telkom to Afrihost. It seems I still need to serve the 30-day cancellation period on Telkom's end, and thus can only activate the Afrihost service in a minimum of 30 days. My questions: Is this your experience as well...
