    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...

    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...

    MetroFibre as FNO and ISP: my experience

    Hi, A quick review of a new MetroFibre installation, using MetroFibre Networx as an ISP and my experience so far. I've been on Openserve+Afrihost fibre since 2017 (last package was 50/50) and was always extremely satisfied. Stable, good performance, good resilience against undersea cable...

    Here is how your Vodacom number can be stolen for almost a week (And there is nothing you can do about it)

    Here is how your Vodacom number can be stolen for almost a week (And there is nothing you can do about it).

    Which ISP is the best between Rocket Net, AfriHost, and Cool Ideas in 2024?

    I'm currently in the market for an ISP at my new place, which is under MetroFibre. I've been reading that AfriHost and Cool Ideas have been consistently ranked as the Top 2 SA ISPs over the last couple of years, which is why they're on my short list. RocketNet is my current ISP. When I reached...

    so moved into my flat almost 2 years ago and when I moved in, I was told that there was fibre available to all units, so we have a fibre box installed and everything through Vumatel.

    Why are ISP's oblivious to their service gaps and make the consumer pay for it?

    I recently switched between two fibre network operators, Evotel => Openserve due to saving costs under the same ISP. I ended up being billed for two lines. Even though the ISP (Afrihost) requests pertinent information initially in their service request forms it seems they oblivious to the timing...

    Telkom incompetence

    In light of the headline news on the homepage here about Telkom and Cell C, Telkom is in no position to start acquiring more business. Like all government-run business in SA, they cannot efficiently run the business and should really shut shop on the grounds of incompetence. From the top, right...
