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...

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...

Hi Guys, Im sure this topic has been discussed to arms length but i'm still curious as to why we cant have symmetrical services and why upload still is limited by ISPs and FNO's. The way i see it is that their networks are all bought symmetrical and upload should make no difference to any of...

So telkom are forcing me to move from my 20mbs uncapped adsl line to an uncapped fixed LTE service as there is a fault on line and they arent replacing copper cables for dsl. Telkoms coverage in my area doesnt appear to be great as i get slow Download and upload speeds with telkom mobile which...

Good day folks I just want to start out by saying rain used to be great -- years ago Now they are downright unusable. For the past few months I would have no internet access (with full signal) before 6pm, yet after 6pm I would have great access This caused me to be charged more than I was...
