February 04, 2011

If you haven’t heard by now… rock legends and mega-band U2 is a mere 14 days from touching down in Cape Town, the second part of the South African leg of their internationally renowned 360˚Tour! In 2010, tickets sold out in a matter of hours, but the question remains: did you manage to get yours in time?

If not, don’t fret it. We’ve got four sets of double tickets for the Cape Town concert (18 February 2011 at the Cape Town Stadium) in hand, and we’re giving them away to four dedicated fans. To stand a chance at winning one of these sets of tickets, all you have to do is post a comment/photo on our Facebook page stating why you deserve the tickets. The four comments/photos that receive the most ‘likes’ from our facebook fanpage members, walk away with the tickets. It’s that simple.

Winners will be announced on Wednesday, 16 February 2011. Don’t forget – you need to ‘like’ our Facebook page in order to post something on our wall.

DSL price cuts, & DSL news

January 26, 2011

As bandwidth becomes more readily available in South Africa, consumers of DSL products will continue to reap the benefits of falling DSL prices and innovative DSL products in 2011.

To kick off the year, we’ve got some good news for those looking for cheaper DSL and those who are existing DSL customers.

Super DSL prices cut by up to 50%!

Our Super DSL prices have been reduced, offering quality broadband access for as little as R15p/GB, and 1GB top-ups for R29/GB! It should be noted that this drop in price in no way affects the quality of our Super DSL products, which remain fully supported by our dedicated Helpdesk and still provide advanced features like port locking and usage statistics.

Second place for Team RSAWEB at Cape Cobra race

January 17, 2011

With an almost perfect day in Cape Town, hundreds of enthusiastic cyclists turned up for the opening race of the PCL Summer League series. The Cape Cobra was bound to be an exciting race as most of the riders were out to test their fresh legs after a festive season of relaxation and good eating. Due to the South African Championships being held earlier this year (first week of February), top athletes from around the country came out to gain some valuable racing experience, and to see what sort of form the other cyclists were in. Two new teams to the peloton, Team RSAWEB and Team Brothers Sport, brought a new and interesting dynamic to the race. Both these teams were well represented and resulted in a more distributed load in team strengths.

The Cape Cobra is a well known race and is considered as one of the toughest road races in the Western Cape. The 85km race started at Reddam House School in Constantia and took riders over some of the most challenging climbs along the Cape Peninsula. (more…)

Who wants Freebies?

December 03, 2010

Let’s face it, although Social Media is incredibly useful, it can be a source of much distraction – especially at this time of the year. You’re planning parties, attending parties, untagging those incriminating photos of yourself from parties – plenty of stuff to keep you busy and doesn’t constitute real work.

This #FreebieFriday we’re injecting a little social media humour with our ironically themed social notworking Geek Gear t-shirt.

Winners are selected randomly – so if you’re one of our twitter followers or Facebook Fans, or simply just said “hi” – you could be surprised with a #FreebieFriday prize.

UWC Students visit RSAWEB

November 24, 2010

Earlier this week, we were visited by two students from the University of the Western Cape, who are currently studying towards a Bcom degree with a major in Information Systems. Cynthia Kanyenze and Tejas Gihwala are part of the UWC Job Shadow programme which RSAWEB actively participates in.

The students had the opportunity to meet 3 of our key personnel members – Jason von Berg (Technical Operations Manager), Vernon Naidoo (Network Operations Engineer) and Ayesha Bagus (HR Manager), who explained the ins and outs of their respective positions.

Tejas noted, “I’m interested in pursuing a career in Business Analysis and Business Information Systems Consulting (ERPs), and found the presentations from Vernon the most interesting as we have a mutual interest in networking, network cabling and the mechanics thereof. Jason’s talk was also very informative, as he covered quite a bit on how networks work, systems analysis and business analysis. He used a lot of technical jargon, but once he’d fully explained it to us, I think we were all on the same page.”

” The environment at RSAWEB is superb, the people were very welcoming , and I particularly enjoyed the presentations from Jason and Vernon. My programming skills aren’t strong, but talking to them opened my eyes to a new path of Information Technology which I’d love to explore. Although I was only at their offices for 4 hours, I have nothing but praise for them – They really made an effort to welcome us,” commented Cynthia.
