You always have the choice of using your own router.
 
O, so Bitco Techs have been and no LOS is possible, it seems that I sit in the dish of tree heaven, great news for lungs, bad news for Netflix :-(, but in the process of ordering my second adsl line for the home
 
Soaking .........still soaking..............skin peeling off , getting bored and some more soaking.............overkill.

Currently living in the "dark ages" and it has nothing to do with Eskom!:wtf:

Come on Bitco get on with it ,Bloody hell!!

Why would they not install after finding LOS??? I was told that I have LOS, but they can't install, because they have to report to office first?? Everyone I know got theirs installed after LOS was found. Can someone please assist?

They say no use in complaining nobody listens so I will keep it short: I AM TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED IN BITCO
 
Soaking for 4 1/2 days,was informed that the link would go live last night or first thing this morning!

Still nothing!
 
A little bit of good news the link is now active, the speeds and stability are awesome however I don't have access to the router, so there not much i can do with this "awesome" connection!!:mad:

Just ask them for the router details?
 
Right, if you want something done.......................... do it yourself, access to router accomplished.

All setup ..............will give feed back in the near future, but so far I am leaning towards Pitbulls words " best internet I've ever had":)
 
My internet dropped at 09h00 this morning... Does anyone else have connectivity issues on Helderkruin tower?
Back to normal now at 18H30. :) :) :)

HI Disiza,

Very glad to hear you are connected!
Sorry about the delay with handover, our infrastructure team is very process driven and unless they are completely satisfied with a link they wont hand over.....SOAK.....SOAK....&...SOAK some more

Typically soak is around 48 hours but can take up-to 7 days as each time an adjustment is make the process starts again.

I can see on your link 2 adjustments had been made prior to hand over but now its 100% perfect so enjoy!

if you still struggling with router or network access send a mail to [email protected] and a technical representative will assist you

Mike
