No, the R5000 is a credit that covers Installation, Activation and Router up to a maximum of R5,000. If the total exceeds R5,000, then you are billed the difference. For migration, it also covers cancellation costs with your ISP, which we credit back to you, but the same maximum applies.
It does not cover monthly fees in any way.
So does AH use PPPoE like op said he must use or must it be Dynamic IP?
We generally use DHCP, but for Openserve we have to use PPPoE becuase of how their network is setup (still via IPC). Some providers do use PPPoE with other ISPs, but we feel DHCP is the best experience, so they use DHCP with us as well. So if you migrating, you might have to change from PPPoE to DHCP for some providers.
Latency was actually alright most of the holiday period, and now it's back to fluctuating and on the rise. I thought maybe you guys fixed it, but I guess it was just a lower load with less people on? I'll be looking to leave once my 6 months is up - I can save money and get a faster package elsewhere, not to mention eliminating the cost of a VPN and getting lower latencies to EU to boot:

WinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud ProviderI think our NOC would generally be OK with latencies around 160-170ms to EU at peak demand. What time did you run this test?

probably 25 mins ago.
check latencies now as they seem to be bouncing around 179-220ms, normally, ping is stable at 179ms:
It's a little early for peak demand - let me check with NOC.

A few mins before I made the post. I appreciate your NOC is fine with latencies in a certain range, but that range is outside of my acceptable range. (it rises from 142ms in CPT to 180ms when this happens)
I guess I have differing requirements for online gaming. AH has been stellar in every other respect.

check now?
The guys are definitely aware of gaming requirements. They are looking at it to see what can be improved.

@AfriMan --you have PM; connected now (openserve local exchange was down all this time); now need help with line speed upgrade.
Got your PM
Hi there, if you cancelled before the 15th the line should be automatically released. Drop me a PM and I'll check on the status of the line for you.

Yeah, that's not good at all for CPT -> UK. Even the baseline of 156 is about 8-10ms higher than the norm, not to mention the ~30ms variance. On CISP I get about 141 to 148ms.

Wow, I would love to get between 140 and 150 ms.
I get between 170 and 180 to Apex servers in the UK.
I am in Gauteng though, so that probably adds a bit.
This is on openserve:
