Openweb is the best.

Support has always been good!!

Well, if reading this thread was any sort of "poll", then it would seem that WebAfrica and OpenWeb are winning the race, with one a nose ahead of the other (yes, YOU can decide which one)

I've been an Mweb subscriber since 1997 (originally was an IAfrica dude), and been on their 3Gb DSL since beginning may. I have had zero issues with them at all - except the cost of R300 for 3 Gb. If only I could keep my @iafrica.com email address .... so yeah, guess I'll have to stay

Cybersmart for sure, excellent service & support.

Mweb's service is OK, I applied for a cancellation last month, and was told that the account would be cancelled by the end of August, but it's still active. I called them yesterday & they first said I would have to wait yet another 30 days and would be charged for September also, I was then told that it will be soughted out, and I wouldn't have to pay, but the account is still active.

I use WebAfrica. You can easily order/cancel everything online, submit support tickets etc. without ever interacting with anyone on the phone. Very easy-to-use online client area. But yes, I guess the big test is how good the service is if something goes wrong. Hasn't happened yet.

Seconded!!
I've had dealings with SpermCountsa.net (Telscum), Mweb and WA. My pick: WA

....telkom

hey guys

just a question...I have to sign up to an ISP any day now and have been going through all the pro's and con's - how can you NOT go with telkom? the 'soft cap' means that it is the cheapest or best value for money; I know we all love them; is it just out of national pride that we would rather not recommend them?

 

[telkomsuig]

Cybersmart for SAIX,
Webafrica for SAIX top-up,
X-DSL for reasonably priced IS accounts.

All of the above are real bricks and mortar companies not bedroom operations without proper billing departments.

what about axxess? their services are not to bad and good local latency to.

their customer service went down the tubes in recent months apparently...

Thumbs up for Axxess

what about axxess? their services are not to bad and good local latency to.

Axxess have now got a new 27/7 technical support department on 0861 300 900
Plus as I have seen, they have got most of the bugs out of there accounting department. And another interesting feature is that I got a SMS this morning warning me that I have reached 50% of my 30Gb cap. Now that's nice to know

So I spent and hour and a half last night trying to sign on with Telkom, it kept telling me that the email addresses I chose are already in use (impossible...I used the wierdest combinations after the 4th time...); so I signed up with Webafrica. Painless.

Any feedback on Xsinet ?

I've been with Xsinet Dialup for some time now and the service was great the few times I had to call them. I am hoping to switch to ADSL when it becomes cheaper. How do they shape up as an ADSL ISP?
