Mostly battlefield, some Red dead 2 on a 100mb fibre line through Octotel as provider and webafrica as ISP and it lags as a mudder

Home Connect has impressive links at the moment hitting London on 161ms so i am rather presently supersized in FF

All the time? As weird as it sounds it might not be your ISP, but your FNO (Octotel). There's not too much difference between the big ISPs these days. If you live in CPT you get 160ish ping to the UK, 180ish if you're in JHB I believe?

Pretoria to London 161 Home Connect Frogfoot

It depends on a lot of things first of all does he play with Wifi or cable? Makes a moer of a difference

That's very weird. WA used to have good pings. Either your fiber is busted or WA has gone to poop.

At RSAWEB some of our staff that game have reported a EUW ping of 150-175 ping for games such as League of Legends. Local ping can be given to you on request per game. DM us for a list of games and our ping.

Cool Ideas hands down

Agreed. R6000 is not enough for a router. R15000 is a better price for a router.
