When it's up it works fine...

Not sure how long their complex exclusivity is going to last, but if you work from home I suggest you have a backup handy (not rain, terrible signal). The network goes up and down like a yoyo, and they usually take hours to get it back up...

HeroTel splashes R600m on acquisitions, eyes more

The local telco has to date spent millions acquiring over 40 local businesses, as part of its growth strategy, and seeks more this year.

www.itweb.co.za

The HeroTel Alliance now has expanded coverage via its WISPs in the North West, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and surrounds, making it SA's largest wireless Internet service provider.

Previously acquired businesses include: Airband Connect, BreedeNet, Border Internet, Bronberg Connect and HX Systems, among others, as the company eyes an additional 20 acquisitions this year.

But ja.. exclusivity agreements mean you don't have a choice.

Can any residents comment on the stability of late? Potentially interested in moving in but have read a number of horror stories with how unstable the internet is in this complex.

Yep we're in the same boat at Grove-Lane (also Balwin)...being forced to use their crappy packages and massively over priced. I'd be willing to pay R899 for 20Mbps (which is more than other ISP's) if it was truly uncapped, but it bloody isn't!

Hello everyone, I am about to move in to Amsterdam Estate. Can someone please update me on the Fibre ISP? I have looked and it says Herotel does not cover in that area.

Amsterdam has some sort of exclusivity situation, you can only use their in-house ISP at the moment from what I understand
