I know the promo is only effective from today, and it may still take time for the temp upgrade to get initialised with whoever's ISP is on board with this promo, but is there anyone who was directly told by their ISP (apart from Cool Ideas and Afrihost) regarding this temp upgrade, or is there anyone here who is already noticing that this speed upgrade is in effect?

 

[3WA]

Not yet upgraded. On Cool Ideas.

 

[walterl]

not yet upgraded on Afrihost

 

[STORMERSFAN]

Not yet on mind the speed

 

[JOEY_8]

Nothing yet here too. On Websquad

 

[e4et]

Hope the other providers also do the same. @frogfoot

 

[My_King]

Nothing here on WebSh!tica...

*I would just like to say we all have to be thankful for MY ISP. They were the ones who made this possible:



**For the 12 year olds, I'm being sarcastic. My ISP so full of themselves.

Please be advised that it's not confirmed we will update as soon we have changed, and we will send notifications when it's confirmed.

I was upgraded last night but then my line randomly went back to it's normal speed (100/100).

I'm in Roodepoort area on Vuma with Cool ideas. In the evenings you can't stream anything from our Fibre.

I Hotspot my phone so that the other people in the house can have internet.

So clearly the system can't cope with the current situation and now they want to upgrade everyone to even higher speeds.

Odd. No issues whatsoever in wilgeheuwel on vuma coolideas

Seems to be live for me (Coolideas/Vuma 100/100)

Live for me. Cybersmart. 200/200

 

[Thor]

You think the upgrade will happen normally or should we reboot the ONT for a new IP?

How do they do it in the background?

is it software controlled?

 

[lowriderza]

Nothing on Axxess so far. I'd prefer a lower price to be honest.

Nothing from Cybersmart yet .... their reply ....

Got the mail that the update will be implemented

Same. That sounds like a localised issue...
