    Iraq is the latest country to launch SpaceX's Starlink satellite Internet service

    I am very surprised that the Iraqi government is allowing Starlink to operate in their country after the CIA used it to attempt a "regime change" operation in Iran in January. It could also be used to assist the CIA with assassination attempts on Iraqi government and militia targets. Starlink...

    Afrihost Vodacom Fixed 5G thread

    @dotcat: Here are a few tests that I did a few minutes ago on my Cool Ideas/Vodacom service if that's of any interest. These tests do consume quite a bit of data - ~250MB per test !

    Cool Ideas Fixed 5G/4G Feedback Thread

    My CI/Vodacom 5G service has been running normally even during a 30 hour power outage yesterday at the Delta Substation which supplies my suburb as well as several others in close proximity. I hope that the outages that others are experiencing get resolved very soon !

    Afrihost Vodacom Fixed 5G thread

    The MC801A uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon X55M chipset which should perform much better than the ZTE chipset in the G5TS. The G5TS is a much cheaper router than the MC801A. I am fairly happy with the performance of the G5TS but if my 5G signal was marginal then it would probably struggle. Both...

    Afrihost Vodacom Fixed 5G thread

    Here are my latest MyBB Speed Test results from my CI/Vodacom 5G service. As you can see from the coverage map there is no 5G Home coverage in my suburb. Speeds do deteriorate when the tower is busy. I have been very happy with the performance over the last 10 months. Using the MyBB app ...

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

    If you can't wait to get your 5G service up and running, the first invoice is calculated on a pro rata basis i.e. if you sign up on the 24th of July for example, then you only need to pay for 7 days of use i.e. 7/31 x R199 = ~R45 etc.

    Rain CPE all weather external router, replacement power adaptor/POE switch??

    If you can't get a replacement from Rain, it is available from several stores on Aliexpress. If you wait a few days until the Vacation Sale on 13-19 July or you can play a few World Cup games you should be able to get it a bit cheaper using a coupon. https://a.aliexpress.com/_c3B1EP2j
