    speedtest.mybroadband vs nperf.com

    I just tried the Ookla speedtest (https://www.speedtest.net/) and got 730 mbps with 3ms ping, similar speed to nperf but much better ping. Immediately retested the other 2 speedtest sites (see above) and both reported their previous results again. Is anyone else getting these wildly different...

    speedtest.mybroadband vs nperf.com

    I'm with Vox, and a 200 mbps service, but the speed has been upgraded to 1000 mbps till end of July. The mybroadband speedtest doesn't show any difference in speed so I called Vox, their tech guy told me to test using nperf and I see a big difference, much higher speed and ping. Now I'm not...

    DStv Now not ready for prime time

    Definitely not a connection problem, it's a 200mbps line between 7 of us, netflix, online games, facebook, youtube, zooming, nothing else has any problem. Sometimes DSTV used to display "sorry, the problems on our side, please try later" but in the last month or two just a black screen...

    DStv Now not ready for prime time

    If I subscribed to DStv Now as my only source of TV I'd have demanded my money back by now, there are far too many breaks in service for this to be a commercial product.
