    Octotel 200Mbps Upload Limit

    Can anyone explain why Octotel has a speed cap of 200Mbps for uploads? I often download and send massive video files in excess of hundreds of gigabytes at times. Having a 1Gbps download speed is great, but 200Mbps is painfully slow to upload. Frogfoot, Openserve, VOX etc. have much faster...

    Anyone have contacts in Openserve - need 7 x 500mbps lines

    So we are in desperate need of fibre infrastructure on a large farming + residential + industrial property that is a little bit outside the JHB suburb of Lenasia. Openserve is the dominant FNO in the suburb and works superbly. However, at this property, there is no last mile FTTx infrastructure...

    Premises Creation - Ordered 4/4/24

    SuperSonic Speeds different or the same

    Hi everyone, I see supersonic offers very fast speeds over fibre but my thoughts are fibre is fibre. Surely 25mbs is the same on supersonic and other isp? I see the prices are much higher than my ISP but I want to confirm if it's actually faster somehow? On a 50mbs line the estimate download...

    Frogfoot line speed and price changes

    We've received emails from Webafrica customers being notified about line speed and price changes on their Frogfoot FTTH packages. Just checking to confirm whether more people from other ISPs had received notice of the changes. @Afrigirl @AfriGuy

    MetroFibre: Nexus vs Nova | What is the difference?

    Does anyone know what the difference is between Nexus and Nova? The only real difference I can see is that Nova has a 1000mpbs/1000mbps package for R1297, whereas Nexus has the same price for half the upload speed. Although, I am not too certain if that is 100% correct. Nova has a 25/25 and...

    Best ISP for international traffic?

    I'm with WebAfrica and Frogfoot, and every day at around 5pm until 10pm, I get ridiculously slow speeds to international servers - like 40kB/s down on an 80mbps line. Upload is fine. I'm working on VPS servers based in the USA, so during USA office hours I can't do much, which is frustrating...

    so moved into my flat almost 2 years ago and when I moved in, I was told that there was fibre available to all units, so we have a fibre box installed and everything through Vumatel.

Change 1: New 25/25Mbps package Vuma is introducing the 25/25 Mbps package. So far, some ISPs have made the changes present on their catalogue, but Vuma officially...
