Hi CptMilano,
Yes we are planning on building more high sites in that area as you just fall outside our current coverage area.
I will post a public update soon of all the high sites coming online this year as soon as i have the final list with go-live dates

So just to understand this
are we supposed to be capped after 6pm ?
because it would seem torrents and downloading are hard capped during the day 6am-6pm
but then in the evening you still have the bucket-spill-over-1hr-hour-thingy Policy.
so.. you double screwed if you download large games and demos
can i maybe get an answer to this bitco reps ?
Hi ReDeeMer,
Our Broadband products are not capped so you will not ever reach a physical limit.
All services are open during the day except Torrents are slowed down to allow prioritized services from 6am - 6pm thereafter torrents are open
The connection should be perfect for all other services during the day and should not affect your Online Gaming, Media Streaming or general web usage
Large unsolicited downloads after hours will still be subject to the FUP so Torrents will be limited to 50% of your line speed if done at full speed for a prolonged period of time.
We have completed the new FUP and will shortly be rolling this out to all users on our network, i will post some detail later today on exactly how this will work.
Mike
Thanks for the info Mike
not sure if i totally agree on the FUP after hours now as well. seems you punished more now that before.
but lets see how it goes
Hi Murmaider
I think that is very harsh... You are on one of 3 or 4 high sites where there is extremely high interference levels and this has been communicated many times. I have given out my personal Skype to debug and test with some iinterferencemers. It is currently 00:30 and I am ....
Hi Wikkels88
Can you log with [email protected] seems like same problem is back again from that high site and technical team would need to make adjustments
Mike
Done
So Bitco visit my place today. No LOS
So it looks like Telkom 2meg line is what it has to be. That is the max speed allowed in the area.
I feel all you guys pain with Bitco. Had 2 surveys done (denied) even though my neighbor 220 meters behind me had his service installed with his dish pointing directly towards me. I'm on 3'rd floor, his on 3'rd floor, I'm 7km away from tower, his 7,2km away from tower. The guy who completed my last survey said he would install as he can see the tower and it's good but his manager told him no which he couldn't understand. Not even garth would get involved and ignored my posts to him, meaning go-away, we dont want ya.
Excuses of tree's being in the way are rubbish. Check the pic of the neighbor dish pointing towards me ...
