    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

    All day long and at random. Examples are channels in Slack not loading their content, pages on Github taking ages to load, package updates (downloads) running at very low speeds.

    Cool Ideas Internet Not Working Again! Please recommend another ISP

    I have the same problem, also Cape Town (northern suburbs). Problem is we live in a cell coverage dead spot - only one bar signal at the best of times, so that does not make a viable backup. Our street is served by both Vumatel and Openserve though, so I’ve started having fantasies about...
