I need to vent about the absolutely appalling experience I've had with Screamer Telecom recently. Let me preface this by saying that I've had much better service from other FTTH companies without encountering anything close to the madness I've experienced with Screamer.
Firstly, let's talk...
Screamer case gets postponed
The ongoing case between the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa and Screamer Telecom has been postponed.
So my struggle to get a broadband connection continues.
I live in a complex near Hatfield, PTA with no adsl infrastructure. Pursued various avenues to rectify this but nothing came of my efforts.
Then turned my focus to WiMax. Amobia came to do a site survey but where unable to get LOS...
Despite the generally bad rep everyone seems to be giving Screamer, I decided to give them a try after both Telkom and Neotel refused to offer me service in my area (Edenvale!?!). After only getting contacted after posting on mybb, I sent in an application.
That same day I was called to...
I live in a small newly build complex in Pta.(No Telkom lines installed)
Would it be possible to install a 1024 Wimax connection and then split it between +/-10 ppl with Wi-Fi?
This would be better than to ask Telkom!
:D:D:D
I had a 384kbs uncapped installation on Friday - as expected working fine with the 0.4Mbs down and 0.2Mbs upload - this with the "test" account as it was quite late on Friday when they were finished. (Connecting in East Rand - Benoni area - tower is at Manny's, about 3km north east of JHB Intl...
Hi People
I'm quite new to the ADSL thing since I've been using my cellphone as a modem for all these years. I'm looking to apply for a 5GB ADSL package from Screamer, but I'm unsure as to the steps that I must follow. I know I need a Telkom ADSL line and a router. My questions are:
- For...
So, has Screamer improved enough to be called a real ISP? Or are they hanging on the edge of a large and tutu-fillled chasm?
Have things improved to a point that you feel the service is worthwhile? What (if anything) has been promised but not delivered?
Yesterday, howzit (Screamer Rep)...
Hi,
I'm looking for the best ADSL deal and best overall service to meet my needs.
Here's what I need:
- VoIP to PBX in the UK, max 2 calls at a time (32kbps per call up/down)
- Lots of remote desktop (port 3389) to the UK, Canada and USA
- general other use: http, ftp, etc.
- video...
Haven't had a response from cda yet but thought I'd post this here in case he didn't see the other post:
We gave Screamer a challenge - that if their network didn't improve as they've promised by the end of the week, the Screamer rep (Howzit) will post a video on YouTube apologizing in a tutu...
Hey guys I just wanted to know what you recommend :)
I have heard some bad things about Screamer but apparently they will be fine soon.
Everyone finds Afrihost amazing! what makes them so good? is it their support?
Thanks guys
(btw I'm not looking for the uncapped service, I just...
Hi guys,
I would just like to know a few things;
1) I currently have a Telkom number. Can I port my number across to Screamer? (Theoretically, it should be no problem - the law allows it now)
2) Can I connect to Saix news server?

Remember the debate over Sentech's Wimax spectrum? As pointed out in the original thread the time has come for the long awaited update.

Is Screamer packing it's bags or has Sentech suddenly found a forgotten spectrum sharing agreement? It...
I thought about creating a thread where we can post suggestions/requests to Screamer...
1. Control panel to monitor BW usage(apparently they are already busy with this.)
2. More BW options, like a local only account
3. Ability to manage your account, like change your password
4. Data...
