fibre

Good day Could someone please help me with port forwarding. My ISP is Herotel and I have requested a public IP. Not really sure what to fill in or even if this is the right setup. I have the router that they give when signing up. Rergards

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...

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...

Interesting one this, on the https://my.cybersmart.co.za/ portal one is supposed to be able to view usage, change link speeds (or allocate more data - which is what I want to do) Getting a error 500 on the .jsp page. Anyone else with them ? Their https://help.cybersmart.co.za/ is also a hot...

So could not find much help on this therefore I decided to make a post about it. Hopefully someone knows how to go about this. I set up a SSID with the EG8141A5 ONT box. Authentication Mode: WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Radius server: 192.168.0.50 Server Port: 1812 I have also by default see that...

So I am once again effectively without internet at home and it's once again this random eratic behaviour that keeps me from using the internet. What causes this on a fibre network?

Hello, Wifi had been down for the past hour, would like to know what happened and when it will be resolved.

STAY AWAY FROM HOME CONNECT, it has been over a month of bad service getting less than half my speed I am charged for. I have to call in and spend hours on the phone tring to sort it out with nothing done. then they send a new router that is faulty and once again I have to call in, the never...

Can anyone explain why Octotel has a speed cap of 200Mbps for uploads? I often download and send massive video files in excess of hundreds of gigabytes at times. Having a 1Gbps download speed is great, but 200Mbps is painfully slow to upload. Frogfoot, Openserve, VOX etc. have much faster...

So we are in desperate need of fibre infrastructure on a large farming + residential + industrial property that is a little bit outside the JHB suburb of Lenasia. Openserve is the dominant FNO in the suburb and works superbly. However, at this property, there is no last mile FTTx infrastructure...

@Afrigirl @AfriGuy As per your previous posts on mybroadband and Facebook, a second fibre installation on the same property requires the address to be modified by adding a letter to the house/apartment number. The installation would be regarded as "new", and the premises creation would take...

Criminals stealing fibre cables and "smoking" them At least one major fibre network operator (FNO) in South Africa has learnt that criminals are stealing parts of its fibre cabling and smoking them. MyBroadband recently asked the country's biggest FNOs how their rollouts and network uptime...

Currently have 100/100 mbps line, Coming up as 150/150. Hopefully it's FREE lol

Hi everyone, I see supersonic offers very fast speeds over fibre but my thoughts are fibre is fibre. Surely 25mbs is the same on supersonic and other isp? I see the prices are much higher than my ISP but I want to confirm if it's actually faster somehow? On a 50mbs line the estimate download...

Hi all, Afrihost Fibre User here (OpenServe). Two days ago my fibre ONT Box LOS (Loss of Signal) red light came on. I called Afrihost they indicated that an OpenServe Tech would pop by the next day to repair the fault. OpenServe Findings: Cannot pick up a signal between my ONT Box and Main...

Hi guys. I know people that use vodacom's fibre line find the line quality terrrible (speed drops, outages etc) but can anyone say whether using them as an ISP is the same case? im looking at using them as an ISP on a zoomfibre linee.

We've received emails from Webafrica customers being notified about line speed and price changes on their Frogfoot FTTH packages. Just checking to confirm whether more people from other ISPs had received notice of the changes. @Afrigirl @AfriGuy

Does anyone know what the difference is between Nexus and Nova? The only real difference I can see is that Nova has a 1000mpbs/1000mbps package for R1297, whereas Nexus has the same price for half the upload speed. Although, I am not too certain if that is 100% correct. Nova has a 25/25 and...

I'm with WebAfrica and Frogfoot, and every day at around 5pm until 10pm, I get ridiculously slow speeds to international servers - like 40kB/s down on an 80mbps line. Upload is fine. I'm working on VPS servers based in the USA, so during USA office hours I can't do much, which is frustrating...
