They definately had SAIX local, I had an account for ages. They definately changed over to IS something like a few weeks ago (we were notified in the client section and I actually asked them to make sure as well). Unless they have now made it so that they have both, or have gone back to SAIX it's IS.

So afaik it's definately IS, but maybe someone can confirm.

I think I just did? (tracert from my Axxess local account)

Axxess, now does offer a saix local only.

But, you have to select it as a new service, and there is no pre-paid option.

Pre-paid and the normal local only service is iS,

I signed up with nexus, it R15 a gig pre-paid and it with saix, so I reading the "news" at normal speeds again :)

Well I can't see anything on their site about SAIX local, can you show me a link? Do you have to look from within client zone?

With nexus being R15 a gb I may as well just deal with the R15 per gb Telkom charges over the free allowance if I need more.

From the Client Zone, go to New Services, it's about 60% down in the drop down menu. It's R13.50 per GIG. Don't think they have prepaid on the SAIX one.

Oops, if I cancel it now I might not have to pay for it again. .. and I thought it was prepaid. this sucks.


Well, cancelled it and will have a look at Nexus.

Goodbye Axxess, nice knowing you.

hi, came across a prob while extracting my downloaded game using grabit. turns out the parts are not recognised as rar archives so when i try to extract them it says that the parts are broken. any help on how to fix? tried quikpar, says no repair needed

ok so i managed to extract a;; parts but now it shows that it is a 5xxmb BIN file. it was suppose to be an installation file. where did i go wrong and how can this be fixed. i hope this download wasnt a 500+mb waste of international data :(

Were they .001,.002,.003 etc? If so try HJSplit on them. I think that .bin is also a type of image though.

Mount it with Daemon tools. I'm sure I've mounted BIN files before.
