    Throttling by ISP's

    So today a big Microsoft Flight Simulator update is out. Downloading through VPN (SA servers), download is about 100Mbit/s (I'm now on a 200/200 line). Connecting normally (VOX/FrogFoot) download never goes above 2 MBit/s. So yeah def something funny going on. VOX throttling yes?

    is this VOX throttling?

    alright people, really appreciate the input... okay, gotcha. thanks. my suspicions as well... will upgrade my line, hopefully things improve. we're with frogfoot/vox at the mo, not really investigated yet what choices i have in my area... i think we're stuck with frogfoot for the physical...

    is this VOX throttling?

    okay quick question. whilst downloading nvidia drivers, noticed d/l speed today is very slow... only goes up to 300kb/s. but when i switch on nordvpn (sa server), d/l speed goes up to 3MB+/sec - as expected. fwiw, I'm on the entry level tier 30/3 package. is this VOX shaping/throttling? also...

    Vox Telecoms' crimina behaviour (also terrible service)

    Aye, after two years with VOX they have gone down the shitter. I've just downgraded my 200/200 line to 30/3 . I play a lot of MSFS which is bandwidth intensive - but recently I have to use VPN to get decent speeds as VOX throttle heavily. Basically there is no point getting higher bandwidth with...

    Generator or Inverter for residential use?

    my diy job last weekend. (12x345w monos, 3s4p). ...effectively doubling my pv to 8kwp. yeah angle is not ideal that its on a flat carport. but at least its facing north and i didn't need a ladder to do the install. the old (4kw) existing string is on the 2nd floor roof (facing nne at 25 deg...

    best off the shelf SIM with unrestricted APN?

    turns out there is no unrestricted apn option for the VOX shared mobile data sims we are using (mtn). i do have an unrestricted apn cellc sim on my main phone, but i need another one in a jiffy... its for an iot device. are there any other (quicker) options besides cellc? iirc with cellc i had...

    Europe's Green Fall

    Not to diminish the fact that the shift to renewable energy is not an easy one, but I just want to point out this documentary is produced by a lobby group that promotes climate change denial.

    Generator or Inverter for residential use?

    finally! *almost* totally off grid! ...got additional battery capacity installed on tuesday. from 7.4kwh to 14.8kwh. so three days now running entirely off the battery & pv (4kwp). yeah yeah it's summer... will probably need to add more panels before winter but we'll see how it goes.

    Is Ryobi a good router? Which one should I choose?

    "either you cry once and buy the expensive powertool or buy cheap and cry everytime you use it." AvE hint: they don't call it cryobi for nothing

    CellC 10gb data valid for 365 days

    CellC also actually has a R299 (iirc) for 3GB, also valid for a year. for some reason they do not make it available for purchase online. pretty sneaky if you ask me. you have to go to a CellC shop and they will load it for you. needed a new data sim for a tablet the other day - that's how i...
