is it working?

cos i was usingit on my 3gb saix account on mon, now that got capped..

so i bought an extra 1gb saix acc from telkom and it doesnt work with the news servers o0

news.saix.net:119 ---> am i doin anythin wrong
 
Seems to be like policy or something to take the news server down at 12H00 on the last day of the month and only start it again like 06H00 the next day. Forewarned is ... something you can plan around.
 
thanks for that..i now know..
i suppose, because of their crappy infrastructure, if everyone is DLing at full speed from the news servers on the last day of the month, the internet would be even worse than it already is on the last day of the month..probably unuseable..

but thats no excuse..they have to get their act together and sort out their infrastructure
 
Well the ftp.games.saix.net is no longer password protected either, which it was yesterday which happened to be the last day of August. SAIX, you make my blood boil :mad:

They never miss an opportunity to p!ss off a customer do they?
 
what if there was something else causing the problem? give the guys a break, the news server runs excellently 99% of the time.. far better than IS. Telkom is not one person, its many people with different intentions - it seems the news server guys are trying to provide some form of value. But yes, the company as a whole is not that way inclined being only focused on profits and nothing on value to the customer.

You contradict yourself, if the company is not focused on the customer, why the hell should I give them a break? No dude, I won't ;)
 
Complaining to use SAIX for pirating? mmm?
So by opening the SAIX server on the last day, would help how?

Start maxing that cap a week before the end of the month.
 
So just nail your cap on the second-last day and then use a prepaid account for the last day... The Prepaid expires after 12 months, so you can use it every end-of-month.
 
i don't understand why people what till the last day to finish their caps. Especially as leakign is controlled by all ISPs as things stand.
 
cos its unpredictable wen ur cap will be reached..

so u don wanna be left with no ADSL..

especially if u get capped afte 4PM cos the fkin telkom offices close then and u cant ring up to get a temporary 1gb account or whatever the case may be..


hard cap sucks bollocks
 
I bought myself a backup WA account. So by the last week I am already capped on my main account. I always take the view that whatever it is I didn't download in the last week will still be available the first week of the next month. It's worked well for me so far.
