One stop shop solution?

[dakeyras]

Moved recently and want to get dsl at home, 3G just isnt cutting it.

Is there a one stop shop solution out there? Is it possible to deal with only 1 company instead of telkom+isp? Can I order a line installation as well as my isp account through one company? I do not want to work through telkom unless I have to.

Hi dakeyras

Please drop me a PM with your account details and I could arrange for a consultant to contact you to explain the process.

At the moment nobody comes close to Afrihost's bundled accounts.

We have bundles that cover most of the solution. If you PM me, I can answer more of you questions, but you can also check some of the threads in this category about our bundle solutions.

I honestly think the easiest, most simple one-stop way to get ADSL is to go with Telkoms Simple promotion. www.telkom.co.za/Simple

You pay a monthly fee for EVERYTHING - voice, dsl line, data. And it gets installed for you etc. I have friends who have gone this route and it really has been a breeze for them. They just fill in their details online, and Telkom calls them back. It was all installed and operational a week later.

If you go and talk to an ISP they will ask you if you have a voice line, if not then you'll have to go to Telkom first anyway. Once you have one, then you can talk to an ISP and they'll get a line done for you. You'll still have to get it set up yourself, there's no real easy way.

Take it from someone who has been with both Telkom & MWeb, Afrihost is your best option.

Nothing wrong with MWEB's service, pretty decent, but if you want to cancel it's quite a convoluted process. Afrihost is quick and easy.

The cancellation process is why I'll never get Mweb.

Thanks, this is exactly the type of solution I am looking for. I would have preferred not working through Telkom, but if I have to go through the process of installing a line through them, then I might as well do everything.

I already pay for a Afrihost account (unshaped) from quite some time ago that I never got around to cancelling so I will still be able to have the benefit of using Afrihost as my ISP.

I have never had a problem with Mweb either, and until recently I had an account through them as well.
