BitCo Consumer Review

Hi CR34M3

Unfortunately we can't install on a movable mast as the dish alignment is very sensitive and would constantly need realigning.

Thanks for the feedback garthvs, much appreciated.

Now I guess I'll start looking at my backup plans or gear up for a Body Corp fight. :)

Ironically, I’ve got a 2.4GHz grid antenna on my balcony; it’s been there for about 3 years now and no one’s complained. Unfortunately I need to weigh up lost installation costs or contract defaulting costs were I to go ahead and get issues down the line. :(

Bitco guys came around and very friendly to do a test and I've got clear LOS with very good signal but there is a small tree on the one side that's not allowing them to install, that's QAD for me as a potential client.
For me to get the service I need to go to a stranger 4km away from me to ask him to cut down the tree.

Hi No-Rule

Can you please PM me your name and address so I can investigate.

Hi Oliver

Not at the moment, but we are looking at adding a 15Mbps service sometime soon. As soon as I have more details I will update everyone.

Thank you Garth, there's quite a big price jump between 5mb and 10mb, and 8mb for like R1250 would be pretty cool.
 
@garthvs , please can you help. I watched Twitch for about 5 minutes this morning, and was immediately throttled to 2mb..?
I checked the usage on the modem, I started at 8:59 and by 9:04, I was throttled. Please can you help, I don't want to watch Twitch and be throttled immediately..

@oliverwww, what is the twitch experience like on BitCo?

I watch perfectly on high, no buffering nothing. I could barely run low on my 2mb line with Telkom. It's the best experience yet!!

I believe there are quite a few of our end users on this thread using twitch without any problems.
 
Hi Garth,

Are you able to install Bitco for the entire complex that I'm staying in? I sent you a pm a while back, still waiting for a response.

Thanks!
 
I'm still having issues with my connection when it comes to gaming, my ping will be low bit I'm still lagging in multiple games, and its not the kind of lag you get with high pings, its almost like a half a second de sync every other minute, where my connection will lose communication with the server, and then warp me forward or back when it syncs with the server again, really frustrating(especially if I'm playing fps games), in the past they fixed it when I complained, then its fine for a while, but it comes back every time, really dont want to be complaining here every other week just to get my connection to work as its intended to work:(

Still not a single problem on my side since inception. Wierd things seems to happen to your connection Wikkels :D

I play Rust on my PC and MW3 on the PS3. No issues.
