Hi

No, don't want advise on what is the best ISP, I'v seen the sticky.

But how long does some accounts take to be activated (new user)
Does it depend on the payment method they accept?

Please let me know.

What I can tell you is this: With WebAfrica, using a Credit Card it takes a couple of minutes from the time you filled out the app on their website. What a pleasure.

With access making use of a debit order, as soon as they have your faxed copy of the debit order authorisation, it's a couple of minutes and you are up and running.

Telkom Internet, well useless... I had to send invoices by snailmail, waiting for them to activate my DSL ISP account so that I could use e-mail as a preferred method of delivery... my snail mail got to the client before I could send him an e-mail.

These are the IPS's I've had dealings with, can't comment on the rest.
 
Yeah WebAfrica takes a few minutes to get activated and they get back to you pretty quickly.

Axxess also has a fast response though at the time when I signed up, you had to do electronic transfer or bank deposit and fax them the proof of payment.
 
Yip, WA is pretty quick. Waited until the Telkom guy was in my house doing his thing before I ordered. Went the credit card route and was able to test the installation before he left :D
 
Cybersmart is instant, just after signing up on the website, you'll receive an sms with your password, and the account is active. Payment is by debit order, and you can send the form after the account is created.

Use: [email protected] as the username and 086100fast as the password to setup a cybersmart account
 
With OpenWeb's 512K uncapped. Signed up in the morning sent through proof, by the evening (with a little help from MrBEEP) I was online downloading like crazy.

That is truly pathetic. You had to wait from morning tll evening and then "only with a little help".

To buy more prepaid Webafrica gigs is literally a matter of seconds. I am serious......seconds.

If I had to wait for the whole day and then still need help I would cancel it.
 
With experience Webafrica.co.za is only a few seconds.

Mr Beep posted something about openweb.co.za also get the credit card facility.
Any news on that??
 
Axxess also accept credit card payments now and your account is activated in seconds. Have a look at there new website. It rocks!
