    Slow ADSL - Mweb or infrastructure to blame?

    Hi everyone! We have a 10mps ADSL line (the max we can get) with Mweb. We've had it for about...ten years I guess? But over the years the speed and connection has become steadily worse, to the point where it's nigh unusable. We clock in an average of 0.25mbs download speed. I'm not entirely...

    MWEB Agents Pestering to Sign Up

    Telkom Lines + ADSL Lines

    Someone mentioned that in about 2/3 months time we will no longer be needing Telkom Lines to have ADSL at home. Do any of you know if this could be true, or just another rumour? I believe South Africa is the only country that still make use of Telkom lines for ADSL :wtf:
