Streamed two movies today in 1080 on my 4mb gamers king without buffering.

Best internet in a very long time since so many ppl jumped ship.

Apparently OW only resell IS etc products and thus don't need an office as most of their stuff are done by IS etc anyway. its called "ISP in a Box". They buy "X" amount of gigs per month from IS etc and manage it as they see fit, thus the endless types of specials and account types.

They only got a handful of employees - Leon, Zelda, Athol, Charmaine and Keoma.

They use various names - OpenISP, Openweb, Myopenweb etc.

Keoma would have started Openweb Radio but it did not materialized yet.

"Who is Keoma Wright?
Keoma Wright is a revolutionary IT mogul, radio enthusiast and entrepreneur who is also a born and bred South African citizen. He has achieved a great many firsts in South African web technology in the whirlwind twenty seven years of his life.
It all started with Keoma’s first love – radio. During the period 2003 to 2005, Keoma worked as a radio DJ on KwaZulu-Natal’s hottest jazz radio station, the former P4 radio. He also performed voice overs for many of South Africa’s national brands at this time." - keoma.co.za

We all dream... but some live in a dream it seem...

The other person on your account cancelled :p They forgot to check if anyone else was using it!

Lol :D No it was just that they cancelled my wrong account as I had one account for home and one at our office which are both in my name.

My account can't open any international sites at all. Am I the only one with this issue?

2nd day of no Openweb... my mood is reflected by the weather...

It was raining the whole weekend in Cape Town, and this morning I saw the sun peeking through the clouds. Light at the end of the tunnel. Good riddance and goodbye Openweb, Keoma, Keoma's attitude (which stinks) and your deceptive marketing and sales.

I know you're reading this, cowards.

As an aside, has anyone wondered about all of Dr. Wrights business ventures & CCs that he's set up but never finished through to completion? Hiding something from SARS? Magic 8 Ball says "quite likely."

Well this whole thing sucks... I barely had any issues with OpenWeb, my account always had no issues browsing, and when I did a quick mail would sort it our in a few minutes or a hour :/
I'll stick around till I get any big issues or they die or I find a solid ISP. Maybe Afrihost.

Well if you're happy with your product then leave it. Doing the same for the time being at our office.

I see you're in Cape Town, for this reason alone I wouldn't recommend Afrihost.

yeah I'm pretty happy so I'm definitely not planning on changing anytime soon.
I actually have 1GB free account from them and when I use it I don't have any issues. But I'll keep that in mind for some time in the future.

Changing next month, it's time. The Gold Uncapped Power account has not satisfied my needs with regards to gaming. Probably going to move to VOX capped with the uncapped bolt on.

So what do you think the chances are that OW will accept my un-cancellation? :eek:
