Why would anyone use a random ISP that no one even knows about?

I wouldn't trust an ISP with a website like that.

Random ISPs generally don't have Telecommunications licenses as well as their own globally routed ASNs ... this one may be under the radar, although as per it's social media, it is the fastest network in Africa - that may not be what mybb users are looking for though...

Yes please.. we will reward you. We don't like the idea of uncapped internet because the economics make it slow.. we want to be fast only so we don't try build adsl networks that rely on the evil Telkom, rather we focus on reselling adsl (Telkom) ISP networks and reward users that show how they are actually "capped" purely by the limitations on throughput

thanks.. good point, we're so busy trying to deliver services we're not too fussed about the web site... and we like to work with happy people only

 

[MraL]

Oh Electric...

well actually we learned that some competitors provide 5Mbps 'fibre' - that's funny... we only provide 1000Mbps fibre..

So you expect someone to sign up with what essentially seems to be sub par service levels because you guys are too busy delivering a service?
excuse me what?

if you think a pretty web site - or even an up to date one in these days - is what counts in delivering the best Internet service, then it's probably better that you use another ISP. Vanilla offers expert advice - we answer the phone - and we ensure our customers have the fastest speeds that are available to them at the best prices. We think that has very little to do with having the best web site...
