And to add to this, I've found that the throttling mostly happen during office hours, most of the times if I download, it'll run through the night and if I wake up in the morning its still going full speed

I have seen this too. Seems like they don't throttle at night between certain times. I can however not confirm this as I have not actually sit and watched it. But the data downloaded during the night confirms this.

Hi, seriously looking to get away from Telkom. One question from my side, what parental controls can be setup on the BitCo router?

My BitCo router came with Tomato firmware, which is very flexible. See Here for parental controls.

Also a separate filter can be added to each Device, see here

But you can also just use your own router if you'd like...

Anyone here setup their Router to only use Unotelly DNS for Netflix on Roku with the MAC Address?

I'm having some issues. My Netflix keeps on routing the Google Public DNS even though I have null routed it in my Router and I've assigned the Unotelly DNS servers to my Roku device.

Frustrating because I can get Netflix to run but then all my devices run through the same international DNS server.

So I've been down since 6pm, no sign of reconnection.. I've tried to restart everything, but hasn't resulted in any luck, anyone else having issues?

My connection dropped for around a minute too. Then went up again on it's own. Was playing WoW and it disconnected. Was unable to reconnect, checked and had the "I" at the connection but then came back up again around a minute later. No issues. (Pretoria)

I had the exact same issue. I was unable to get it working with null routing public dns, mac address static ip, etc.
Basically I could not get it to work on the E900 router??
What I did do is I have a WRT54G old school router lying around. Set that up as a seperate WiFi with settings similar to this

IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (<- Assuming your E900 is 1.1)
DNS1: Unotelly DNS 1
DNS2 Unotelly DNS 2

Your Roku must connect to this new Wifi SSID and all is well.

Okay sounds good.

Then on your E900 router, which dns do you have set there?
