I love this company. One of the only South African ICT related business where one does not have to supress the urge to gag. More success to them!

A great company. I hope they are able to maintain their service levels as they grow (we do not need another evil ISP in the market ).

They are currently the best ISP in South Africa - I just cross me fingers they don't get bought by Datapro, Mweb or Telkom.

My only concern with their SA hosting datacenter is the backbone link. To my knowledge they only have a Verizon backbone link. A web monitoring agent running from the USA gives regular packetloss and slow speed results to the hosting center. With the recent Verizon<->SAIX peering issues their is also regular problems even locally.

Why can't they invest in redundant backbone links like the norm internationally. Get backbone links from Verizon, SAIX, NeoTel and others where appropriate. One single backbone link failure should not cause the downtime of a local website.

i must say haven't had any problems with them even when phoning late at night.

I now have several accounts with them and advise people often that they are the best ISP for small bussiness clients and home users. I have only ever had exceptional service and i wish the whole team all the best for the future.
