Does anyone have the SMTP settings for DSL Heaven?
Try smtp.wa.co.za ? I see it uses the WebAfrica network.
Thanks froot, I'll give it a try.
What is this DSL Heaven ? Where can I read-up on it ? :wtf:
Currently happy with Openweb, little problems get solved quick, just want to know what it is. Thanks for the reply.
I almost fell off my chair this morning! Logged on to http://www.openweb.co.za while having my coffee, and bang, their brand new website! It is soooo sexy! Well done OW!

Cool site. my downloading was slow today from 7pm till 10pm but its good again now. Does openweb throttle one based on downloads in a certain period on the gold package(the one I currently have). Thanks. Good download speeds for the past month that Ive been with OW. Thumbs up!
EDIT: I really need more HDDs. LOL. Hdd prices must get cheap soon...
