So looking for a new provider I found a very very interesting deal here https://www.axxess.co.za/sharethenet offering a pretty startling discount. In light of this could I encourage people to share their codes here or through pms? As soon as I get an account up (which is as soon as I get a code) I'll be doing the same.

Posting this here as there isn't a feedback thread, or at least not a top level one, which is sadly a good sign on here.

You're basically referring people to moan at you when their Internet goes down. This method is also a lot cheaper than hiring more sales staff.

How? The only connection is a discount as long as both accounts exist and an initial whopping 90% discount at that, now I know you to be anal here Fudzy, and better than to argue with you, but really I don't see why you need to poop at the end of this proverbial rainbow?

Call it school fees. They aren't the first ISP to offer incentives to invite people over.

Why might I ask? They're the only company here I've only heard good things about comparitively, which is why I'm considering switching to them now.

My only suggestion is to try them and see if it works out for you.

The comment of mine was based purely on my experience with their uncapped account. I download from NNTP and after 50GB (about 10 days of usage) I was shaped according to them but I think I was throttled as it affected everything and not just NNTP.

I'm in the Western Cape so that also plays a role due to their lack of IPC.

For me, VOX all the way. I won't go anywhere else unless VOX stuff up badly.
 
Hmmmm, Vox mention they throttle under their packages however and the thread here is full of complaints? Mweb throttle, Afrihost has endless complaints about IPC (and the representitive is a bit of an arse, both in and out of pms) and Openweb who I'm with now offer abysmal daytime performance (in anything) for a higher price.

So far the only ones I don't see repeated complaints about are Axxess and Web Africa. Even Telkom seem to have a lot of people off their bandwagon when months ago they were rather happy. That leaves me in quite the connundrum about who to sign up with, you guys say bad things here, yet in the openweb feedback all I hear is praise for axxess.

You will find peoples' experiences vary.

A good example for me is Cybersmart. You will battle to find a positive thread about them but they were amazing for me.

The only reason I left was because VOX uncapped kicks in at 6pm and valid the whole weekend while Cybersmart's super size option only kicks in at 00:30 and doesnt run all weekend.

Their service was great and they answered my calls within a couple rings and I never put the phone down without my query being resolved (I also have a couple domains with them).
 
Havent used axxess since 2012 because telkom softcap meets my needs. But axxess sipport was absolutely amazing in the middle of the night. Had great customer support and loved the way I could control my account online via their website. Must say vox sounds great. Would love weekends full speed uncapped!

My only gripe with VOX is their crappy "client zone".

Axxess don't have contracts so why not try them out for a month? If it's not what you expected then move on. It's that simple ;)
 
I've heard terrible experiences from Axxess.
A close friend went with Axxess Uncapped only to be horribly shaped & throttled at about 23gb of data.
He promptly complained and cancelled.

I would if I could get one of those codes, you see a 90% discount is an awful lot more tempting to try out, but oddly enough it seems the forum is suddenly devoid of either axxess users or people willing to take a minute to generate something.

[EDIT] It appears the codes cannot be used for the business accounts? Hmmmm will have to weigh the odds of either a 10mbs home or 4mbs business........any one with experience on both?

Ah see, stories like that definitely concern me, but when was this? They had an archaic uncapped system a while ago, I'm wondering if it was on that. Also what did he switch to and prefer?
 
Loved axxess. If it wasn't that telkom bundled packages cheaper I would have shifted to axxess. But must say lovr sound of vox uncapped on full speed weekends.
