I'm very happy to say that my application has been approved! They are coming in tomorrow morning to install.

Looks like the Cape Town guys are getting it right with regards to Battlefield 4, but BITCO cannot!!

The best i can recommend is Sonic Wireless i have a static IP + a 10MBps Down/2MBps UP line for R1399 downloaded 1.2TB last month no issues always get my full speed but as far as i know torrents are shaped during the day but all games are not affected by this not even BF4.

Its about the best you will get in CPT for what you want

Go figure!

@Nicks3113 where did you get that confirmation from with regards to Telkom having the same issue?

They are busy installing at the moment. Will take about 2 hours for installation.

They are also installing at my neighbor today. Perhaps they are coming after yours is done. POST PICS!

Installation is done! Hehe will take pics over the weekend. I have to get back to work now. The two guys were friendly though and everything looks nice and neat. The dish is actually quite a bit bigger than I originally thought.

lcbxx, has your neighbour's one been approved and yours not? Or are they going to go look for line of sight there now too?

Guys, my Bitco 12 month 5mb contract is up next month. The FUP has been bothering me and I would like to know if the upgrade to 10mb is really worth it. I haven't had any issues but when Netflix looses quality every now (does not buffer) and then that's when I have an issue.

If the FUP kicks in on a 10mb connection then I am far better off and wouldnt have issues with Netflix quality.

He got LoS to Clearwater Mall. The point at which they measured is about 22M to the left of the point they took LoS test - my guess is they could actually see Clearwater Mall from his roof as there is a big tree in the way from my roof. My other neighbor is 10M right of my position and he received a similar looking report to mine, no LoS and poor LoS to Helderkruin.

I'm sorry to hear that lcbxx.

Given the challenges noted in some of the recent posts I wonder whether it might not be a blessing in disguise. My ADSL order completed yesterday and is actually running properly. Seems the 40-day break since I cancelled had some positive effect..

I'm glad you came right. And I really hope that BitCo serves me well since it's been years since I've had proper internet.

If push comes to shove I'll build a Point-to-Point connection between me and my neighbors place and share a 10Meg connection.

BF4 Update - Lag, Rubberbanding, packet loss, battled to get into lobbies and games!

I have upgraded my line to 10Mbps and it's been active for about a week now. I have no idea why I didn't do it sooner

It's amazing downloading at 1MBps from steam /love.
