    Vox Telecom - Octotel Poor Speed on gigabit

    Recently upgraded to Gigabit from Vox Telecom on Octotel, and the speeds have been horrible. Steam downloads (over 70GB) maxed out at a peak of 700mbit per second.

    Rain 5G value for money

    If you don't care about upload speed/gaming, have good signal coverage and a clear l.o.s to the tower, Rain's 5G is superior value in my opinion. Download speeds are insanely fast, however if you want to play competitive games where ping and packet loss are important (CSGO, Call of Duty...

    Mind The Speed + Vumatel. Really impressed

    I recently upgraded to 100/100 Mbit/s, Mind The Speed on Vumatel (R1090pm). Also, I got a free static IP so now I can host my own servers for personal projects much easier, etc. MTS is the best ISP I've ever had.

    Frogfoot Rustenburg

    Frogfoot has most of rustenburg in "Planned, No ETA" phase, with some areas (mostly where schools are located) in the "work in progress" phase. Evotel rollout apparently halted after residents complained about fibre being overhead and not underground. Honestly I don't care how the fibre...
