    Shaping or some other problem on Openserve (specifically Durban & surrounding areas)?

    I don't know where else to complain about this, my ISP (WebAfrica) is useless when I ask them to talk to Openserve considering I get the whole package through WebAfrica, I have zero communication channel with Openserve because they do not offer any support for end-customers, only ISPs. This is...

    Diabolical OneDrive upload rates?!

    I signed up for Office 365 Personal the other day and it includes 1TB OneDrive storage. Pretty nice, but probably not anyone's first choice as a cloud storage provider. Very quickly I encountered a serious issue: a maximum upload rate of 16Mbps. Google Drive can hit 50Mbps (the max my line...

    Very slow Telkom LTE

    Getting 0.05MB/s download on Telkom's uncapped LTE in Reservoir Hills area. If they were fair they should charge R60 per month since they advertise and sell it at up to 90mb/s. A group should get together and sue them to return our money. Have logged faults to them but no help!

    This has been driving me mad the past couple of weeks. I've called MWEB's technical team nearly 10 times regarding this issue, but no one can identify the problem. I've even bought a new router in hopes of solving the problem, but to no avail. My speedtest results are fine, it shows...
