Hi! I was just browsing your site and noticed something that says "Concurrent Connections" on your capped accounts and would like more information on it.

The situation I have at the moment is my parents live in PE and I live in Joburg. They currently have a Mweb 4mbps uncapped account and it costs them R450pm all inclu. Now I can log into their account and they barely scratch 20GB per month. Now when I see Concurrent Connections, I think I can tell them hey you can get faster internet for R400 pm (200GB) and then I can get my own telkom line in Joburg and just tap into their bandwidth. They pay R50 less pm and I get internet back. Everyone wins.

Is that correct?

Yes, you can have two simultaneous connections on the same DSL account (from two different lines) and both will run at full capped speed. You can also monitor usage through data logs by calling station, so you will know who used what over the month, in case there are any disputes :)

I think our website had a little too much to drink last night and has a hangover :(

Sersiously though, the guys are busy working on this. Should be up again shortly.

Hey Guys

We're running an awesome competition next week on our Answers site!

We'll be giving away prizes everyday for the best questions and answers and then a grand prize on Friday for the best overall question or answer.

Grand prize is a Mobile Wifi Device and Powerbank (Huawei E5730) worth R1,099! That's what we sell the device for, it's probably selling for a lot more in retail stores. But it supports up 10 devices over WiFi, has up to 16 hours of battery life and also supports 3G speeds up to 43.2Mbps.

Hope you guys will asking and answering away next week. Represent MyBB and all of that!

Awesome

PS I've added the link to my signature if you need to find it quickly

Odd, haven't seen any widespread queries about this - network is looking good.
Do services/ sites not load at all when using our DNS?

Had problems all morning with non-resolving addresses, so I switched over to Google DNS. I'll check again in a bit when I'm finished with my current work and see if it's still an issue.

No worries, keep me posted :)
 
Issues appear to have subsided, must've been a temporary blip.

Otherwise, kudos on the status of the network since the capacity upgrade, very impressed.

Please shout if you notice this happen again, I'd like to take a look at some tests :)
Awesome to hear you're happy with the way they network is performing in general though!
 
Hi All.

Anyone else having issues tonight. Internet is crawling. I tried my Telekom account and that flies
 
Your accounts system is screwed
I bought additional data during the month, I get the invoice and then get a message that you cant deduct, and charged R5 for the rejection.
The card details you have are the ones I use for the monthly deduction and those work perfectly so not sure what the problem is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
