Good evening, I was wondering if anyone knows the process of getting a Fibre Backbone to a complex? As the current our ISP is currently using has been awful, we've never gone a month without having an incident and it's frustrating. Preferably we'd like to get a backbone that works with a...

Howzit guys, Sometime last year due to COVID, the company I work for decided to pay for our fibre lines so that we could work from home. We were given the base speed of 20/20 Mbps on the Mweb ISP. Now, because I wasn't paying for the fibre, I wasn't too fussed when the speeds were inadequate or...

Vumatel have bought the fiber backbone infrastructure from SA Digital Village. Since they have taken over the service has deteriorated to an alarming extent. It is so bad that Vumatel cannot transfer a connection from one ISP to another within a period of 7, yes 7 days. They have also, in order...

Hi guys, I should have actually done my due diligence first on Openweb which I normally do and now I see a lot of people saying stay away from Openweb. I am reseller for Openweb and month after month I have been making a loss from Openweb. Their policies and their support are atrocious. I've...

I have been a long time connoisseur of the internet and have always made sure I have an active online connection. As a technical person in the ICT industry it is paramount that when working from home I have an online active solution. I have thoroughly struggled to have that though, a good decent...

Back in 2017 I had endless issues trying to get Openserve fibre through Axxess, where there was a fault, the fault was repaired and the order marked as complete when they hadn't actually pulled fibre to my apartment yet - just fixed the fault. I spent nearly 3 months trying to get them to create...

South African fibre price war South African broadband users are enjoying big price cuts and free speed upgrades on fibre-to-the-home products with fibre network operators and ISPs fighting for market share. The fibre price war was started by Openserve when it upgraded speeds and cut prices on...

Guys and gals, I'd like to know which is the best Mobile ISP for gaming. One important requirement is that it must allow port forwarding, as I plan to use it for gaming through a Direct IP connecion using Radmin VPN. And to clarify what I mean by "best", I mean which mobile ISP provides the...

I have applied for fibre at Mweb with Openserve 13 April 2021. Sign up went well. Installers came the next day 14 April 2021. Still no connection to date. Not sure who is messing me around, spoken to Mweb 5 times already. No joy.

Anyone else with Telkom ISP getting slow or intermittent connection especially to overseas servers around 22:30 or later the past two evenings? Speed test is normal but some pages dont load completely or certain platforms such as Instagram are problematic.

Hi guys, I've been having this issue on three different Zyxel routers. Seems I get intermittent connection due to DNS issues. Tried asking Octotel about the config on the ONT which is remotely managed but they refuse to give me more info so I basically cant configure any of these three routers...

Is there really a long-term point in this mad rush for Open Access Networks? The majority of consumers on FTTH end up choosing the cheapest product they can find, and very few stay loyal to a company or brand name. With the amount of competition, low margins and the ongoing price war between...

There has been a major issue on my 1of my 2 lines, and that i have not had this service since 01 November 2020. I am being charged for this and am due credits, my service and problem has not been rectified as per 8 WhatsApp Chats and escalations to get it fixed. No One Bothers to get back to...

Good day Team, Trust you are doing well, I have gone through with online documentation on multiple websites and searched forums as well but there's no straight line information available about how to go after a hacker in SouthAfrica? Step 1: Report and abuse to ISP. I have done this...

Hi Guys, Looking for someone willing to assist with procuring a 1Gbps Metro Ethernet Layer 2 connection. Feasibility has been done, and is viable. But I need someone willing to push for the installation asap. The link needs to be done from Rural Town to Teraco Isando. Struggling to get decent...

So I have had fibre for almost 2 years now with supersonic as my ISP and vumatel as the FNO and one thing I have noticed from pretty much my first month of having fibre is that my public IP address has NEVER changed no matter what, I can reboot the cpe, router and so on but for the past almost 2...

Hi, I'm looking to change ISP because I'm not happy with WebAfrica. I was using their uncapped 100 Mb/s down and up. Can you guy's recommend the most reliable ISP for uncapped fiber? Thanks.

A clawback fee of R999 has been debited 3 times for the ridiculous free-to-use router they give you. I'm unable to get through to them properly, the moment I think the issue has been resolved they debit me again. It's nearly impossible to get your money back but incredibly quick for it to evade...

So vumatel started digging in our area for fibre (at last) and was informed we can start preordering. Since there is a lot of ISP's to choose from I want to know some of your recommendations about the different ISP's, like who to avoid and who must really be considered. I know Afrihost, Cool...
