Mine is fine did not select Vodacom as ISP. Mine is fine as from 3rd November. Only down when Eskom decides it is load shedding time. When power returns all is fine. Need to invest in a UPS.

Thank you :)


On another note, I didn’t realize that Vodaskum has a fup on uncapped fiber

So a few game off origin and steam and BOOM, I’m throttled to 1MB

Got a R2000 quote to cancel / release my line

Firstly , when did we change the term uncapped , to “not really uncapped”

Secondly , which ISP can I switch to, all I’m asking is for decent service , and no FUP! ( when I say decent service , weekend call center should be a bit more than turn it off and on again like vodacom currently is)

I’ve learnt that NOTHING is free with these company’s, not even the “free” installation

Based on us crediting up to R5000 towards your Afrihost account to offset costs incurred by moving your fibre connection to us from a competing ISP.


So you need to settle, and they will credit your Afrihost account, if i understand?

is there a afrihost rep who could possibly clear this up?

@AfriMan

help someone jump the vodacom ship

Yes that is the man to get hold of.

They will give you credits for a couple of months. You still need to pay the R2000. You need to submit this invoice.
This is how I know it will work. Someone jumped ship from Supersonic Fiber they charged him R5000 to leave.
He recovered this by moving across. Break even

I can definitely help :)

Sadly we are not offering the free months promotion for now - but you still get a free router and we cover installation or migration costs - which is still a BIG saving.

Drop me a PM and I'll do my best to help :)

Yes, you need to settle - then send us the invoice and proof of payment and we credit your Afrihost wallet. Usually amounts to a decent chunk out of the next few months billing.

Nobody else does this. I'm fine with current ISP. Used so far over 200G. Netflix comes to mind.

Since we launched Pure Fibre, I've consistently hit the 1TB mark. Dunno where all this streaming is going - but my wife and kid are happy (which makes me happy!)
 
I’m just trying to get a cancellation quote from them, then I’m out of vodacom
