Best Wireless Broadband in Centurion!

Just a quick thanks to the Level-7 team.
As some of you might know there were major power outages in Centurion due to 2 power substations being sabotaged (call it what you like) with power being out since Sunday morning until 6am this morning.

This also affected some of the Level-7 high sites. For those of us lucky enough to have had power, other than the initial short outage on Sunday night due to all their temporary power reserves running out they somehow managed to keep my internet service up for most of the time.

Excellent work guys!

Hello C,

Thanks for the kind words! Its been an interesting few days, even though we have 24hours of backup at each site we had to start making plans to keep towers running, deployed generators at a few and we had a bunch of batteries on charge at HQ, the guys drove around at 5am powering up generators and swapping batteries!

Seems like only CBD has no power but all of our high sites are running. Time to sleep!
 
It's the same price as ADSL, and ping has more jitter by the looks of it.

Will look again when it makes more sense to move from Afrihost. They are pissing me off at the moment, so it could be closer than I think, but at least they are trying to assist.

I haven't been throttled yet, i doubt whether you'd be throttled on 40gb. I don't actually know what their AUP is.
 
That would be just for one game i do mabye 100-200 GB month

Lots of streaming :)

Do you guys have list or map of these tower locations?
Im looking to move in the next 6 months or so, and would like to keep my options as open as possible
 
I have been with Level-7 now for just over a year and all I can say is. Great service and response time on queries.
 
Any idea when you will have coverage in more areas in Thatchfield? My home doesn't pick up the Mnandi tower. Got an email from [email protected] saying that you guys will be putting up a new highsite in Amberfield soon.

Hey abitofbyte, plans are to have it up and running in the next month so keep checking in with us. Its a small site to cover those few areas of Thatchfield that sit in the shadow on Mnandi.
 
Hi guys

anybody else having very very poor HTTP performance the last few days? ( Centurion RHK area)?

some types of websites just refuses to load ( mybroadband being a good example.....) - after about 5 times refreshing it on the browser does it load.

This morning youtube presented me with a buffering on 144p quality - needless to say i immediately switched to another provider (Thank you afrihost with MTN LTE :D)

NNTP seems fine - maybe throttled/ limited during the day, but semi good speeds during the morning.

anyhow - just a pain to wait up to a minute for a page to open - and yes everything else on the internal LAN is paused, so cant be congestion.

PS

tried to submit requests for other faults via the support website, but also no response (and strangely the "copy me" button ends up sending me an email from my own account, which brings up all kinds of alarm bells at Gmail - cant even get it from the spambox...")

anyhow - sorry for the rant - hopefully the issues stabilizes soon.
