You know, I think my only real problem with MFN is the quality of the construction patchwork after laying infrastructure.
The local "business forum" they were forced to use to do construction in our area was absolute garbage. After a year and a half, pavements are getting large breaks and cracking, water seeping in causing further issues, cement eroding around the termination box on the pavement. I've basically had to mix concrete myself and go fix the fckin pavement outside my place.

The reason it's an issue is that in our area they had to put the lines really close to the boundary walls, so any water seeping in will eventually wash the sand away under the concrete and cause issues with the walls.

I think they use different contractors (mafia's) in different areas. There is no issue with the street work in my area. Did you report the issues to MFN?

Yes, this same mafia was originally the issue for holding up fibre construction in our area for a year. At least that's what the MFN supervisor oke told me. We were supposed to get fibre in 2020.

I'm still waiting for MFN to fix a storm water diversion box cover on the pavement.
 
I see network speeds are allover the place, uploads are slower but not bad, downloads.... from 500 to 80 to 18megs... (speedtest.net - ECN network, to openserve I get 2megs...)

The only thing they have to say is that my Hardware and pc don't support 1Gbps, however i was on 1Gbps before and used to be perfect..

My PC Specs
i7 12700k, 1TB SSD, RTX 3080, 64GB DDR5 5600Mhz.

Router
MikroTik HAP ac2

They literally at the moment in a IDGAF mood.

Pretty sure Cool Ideas has an issue with Metro, idk if that has been fixed yet, also your IP is in the screenshots
 
Whole of Midrand is offline at the moment.. Glen Austin, Noordwyk, Kyalami and Sunninghill also offline. Believe it is a large network outage on their network.

1st they said it’s the same outage now nothing.. just get that same message since 10am, we have been off since 09h45 this morning. Call Centre says no updates from Techs.. 11pm a Tech called to ask what the ONT lights show.. it seems they’re support is just as bad as Eskom… or they have no clue what is going on on the network
