    Why does my fibre speed increase during loadshedding?

    I have a Vodacom Fibre with Metrofibre plan that is supposed to give me 250mbps, but I usually only get 90-100mbps when I do speed tests. However, when there is loadshedding and I’m on my UPS, the fibre speed goes over 250mbps. This happens consistently every time there is a power outage. What...

    Cancellation of Afrihost Account?

    Can anyone tell me how do I delete or cancel an Afrihost Account? I'm not talking about cancelling a service that is done already. I had absolutely no feedback on a fibre pre-order and terrible follow up so the ordered fibre service was cancelled. Now I want to delete the actual Afrihost account...

    Fibre line release delayed - intentionally.

    Good day, Here is how big ISPs starve and delay revenue from smaller ISPs on purpose. When a client decides to migrate from Big ISPs to smaller ISPs. The big corps delay the release of line and in doing so they are preventing revenue to the smaller ISP. Secondly the clients become so...

    Fibre in Hillcrest, KZN - Down during loadshedding

    What is Frogfoot like these days?

    Just a question out of curiosity, but what is Frogfoot like today? Did they get better, do they still cause issues more than they should, or does it depend on which area you are staying or which ISP you are using?

    Afrihost and Lightstruck

    I had scheduled a migration from my previous ISP to Afrihost in February. The ISP was scheduled to release the line on 31 March, which it did. I was originally told I will have internet access 24-48 hours after the line had been released. I had been with Afrihost for over a decade previously and...

    Afrihost & Octotel

    I'm writing something of this nature for the first time in my life. I really don't like doing this as I have always been an Afrihost supporter but since my fibre line migration from one address to another I am still without any internet connection. The fibre line migration was arranged on...

    200/200 Best Fibre Deals

    Okay, well, not really. Certain FNOs tend to have weird packages, and some ISPs to my knowledge haven't updated their website yet to reflect those new speeds. For example, Openserve began a 300/150 package, but a lot of ISPs still have the 250/125 package on their website. Unless they did a free...

    Asus router DNS errors

    I recently bought an Asus RT-AC58U Wifi router as a replacement for a D-Link router that died. They seem pretty much the same with configurable settings and default setup. I have a fibre line with Vumatel and ISP with Afrihost. Ever since the upgrade I have been getting DNS errors, ranging from...
