    Mweb: Fail or Win?

    Adverts, marketing ,adverts ,marketing. Mweb is no newcome, it has been around since dial up days. But it’s latest string of broadband offers gave ISP’s a run for their money. As new competitors begin to shine there’s no doubt that Telkom isn’t the only “big boy” in town despite the other ISP’s...

    Spoke too soon (regarding speed)

    Hi all Looks like I spoke too soon - my i5 promo was good for the whole of May, but since the first of June it's been atrociuos. Now I do not know if that's a coincidence or not, but I was still getting between 1 and 3.8 Mbps on the 2nd last day of May, when I ran out. Now, in June, I have...

    Telkom upgrades active?

    The work's 384 line seems to be a 1 meg line now: This is in the Maitland/Kensington area in Cape Town. I first noticed that a download was much faster than normal. I did a speedtest.net at 8:15 this morning (you will notice it says 6:15 GMT in the pic).

    Very slow torrent on Mweb

    Hi there. I've subscribed to Mweb's uncapped 384kb/s and it got activated little under a week ago. The account that I have is not unshaped, and I know that for torrents that is not ideal, but it's all I could afford and I'm patient, I don't mind the slow speeds. So for the first couple of days...

    Erratic ADSL, Bryanston

    After a long period of stable 4 Mbps connectivity on the 10Mbps-enabled Bryanston exchange, recently I'm seeing erratic ping times to international sites of between 250ms (normal) and 1000ms, with packet loss and occasional brief disconnects. This is particularly noticeable in the early evening...

    Diginet -full or half duplex?

    We're having some bandwidth issue and are now getting conflicting or unclear statements about our Diginet line. I was under the impression a 1 Mbps Diginet line would give us a fixed 1 Mbps up AND 1 Mbps down simultaneously. I.e. upload and download do not impact each other. Now we are being...

    Quintezz Spy GPS speed camera gadget

    Has anyone bought this devise? It is only R699 and warns you about traffic cameras. My question is how big is their database and how up to date is it? I have a built in GPS in my new car (previously used a Garmin Nuvi with camera alerts). This seems like a neat option with no wires and solar...

    8.ta Netgear DGN2200M and Huawei E367 Modem speed issues

    Hi, Telkom/8.ta recommended that I get the Netgear DGN2200M and the Huawei E367 USB Dongle so that I can get a 3G WIFI hotspot going. The netgear seemed like a good idea since I already have a netgear range extender that I previously used with my ADSL Netgear Modem. Was a mission getting...

    Lol.. Telkom IVR claims 4gbps ADSL on an anologue line

    Heard the funniest thing today while on hold with the Telkom call center (10210). Telkom claims to be able to offer high-speed internet services up to 4gbps on an analogue voice line. I fell over laughing... That's quite a huge fail.
