    RSAWeb relocation = hidden fixed-term contract? Charged R2.7k cancellation

    I’ve had RSAWeb since 2021 with no real issues. In Jan 2026 I moved and asked them to relocate my fibre. This was done telephonically. Straightforward request: move the line to the new address. Now here’s where it gets interesting. I later cancelled the service and got hit with a R2,720...

    Axxess is a disappointment

    I've been on this forum on and off from the onset. I asked here many moons ago which ISP would be the best to use for fiber home internet and the suggestion came to use Axxess. I left Jhb in 2021 and lived in the Overberg for a few years where my ISP was a small but effective company. The guys...

    CGNAT Woes

    So long story short, I need to open my ports to some software I want to run. The software checks if it can reach those ports. Afrihost is behind what is called CGNAT - I've requested if they can provide me with a static IP (they can't on Frogfoot) I've asked Axxess and they say that they ARE...

    Axxess to hell

    Axxess used to be one of the best ISPs in South Africa — now it’s an absolute mess. I cancelled my service because of their abysmal support. During the process, I clicked a link offering more info about a retention discount — not to accept it — and without any confirmation or warning, they...

    Is my ISP blocking/throttling my service

    So I stream IPTV daily and until Sunday I was able to do so without the use of a VPN, however since Sunday, I haven't been able to use it. I am aware that there is a current problem with WACS but my confusion is that all my other services like Netflix, Youtube & MyFamilyCinema all work, my IPTV...

    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...

    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). Yesterday evening, April 10th, 2024, my mother's phone abruptly lost network connectivity around 8 PM. It wasn't until then that she realized she had received an SMS earlier indicating a...

    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...
