    Fibre and ADSL/VDSL compatible routers

    I want to buy a router which is compatible for Fibre and ADSL connection. What should I look for? How can I check if a router is compatible with Fibre connection? Do you have any suggestions, such as the one you are currently using (including the price) ? Do all AC routers support fibre?

    ADSL Issues (Telkom/Afrihost)

    Hi, read through most posts (the stickied posts) about DSl issues etc. I've recently logged many faults with Telkom and Afrihost (as they deal with the line), but to no avail. I either get the normal answer of you're too far away or telkom doesn't deal with queries like that (this was said by...
