BitCo Consumer Review

I doubt I'll be so lucky. They even missed my installation appointment, but even if they do show up one day, I probably won't have LOS. Tall trees and so forth.

But if the stated soaking period is correct, you should have internet by Monday. So jealous. :P
Too bad you have to wait the whole weekend.

I really hope the soaking ends before tonight, really need to watch Sharks vs Toulon game :D

I cannot wait I cannot wait just sent in my acceptance Quote now, now to wait for the installation date... gives me time to eradicate any and all trees that even looks like it going to obscure my LOS. I'm in the coverage area, but I know that means diddly squat with out LOS, so fingers crossed.

Big ups to BitCo and Malcolm Williams, excellent service!!

Hi besterf,

Glad to hear you signed up, i assume you are Rustenburg side as Malcolm handles the sales side for the North West!

I will ensure your complement is passed onto Malcolm :)

The good news is we have more than 10 Towers in the North west so you are likely to get LOS!

Best of luck and hope to see you online soon!

Mike

Just received the call that it is activated. Thanks very much. Can't wait to test it tonight.
 
Okay so after testing for a while it seems I'm getting random dropped packets, is this normal?

Nope. I think Murmaider or Wikkels suffers the same from time to time. Your line was just activated, might be some interference. Have Garth or Mike check it in the morning if it doesn't change. I don't have any such issues though.

Seems to be much more stable this morning, working like a dream now. Will test again tonight.

Edit: Aaaaand it's dropping packets again.

HI Sephiroth96,

Thanks for the post

I cannot see any problem on the link itself and looks perfect

I have sent you a PM on some testing we can do together to determine where your packets are dropping

Snap got my sales order just awaiting for wireless team for installation date, LOS (holding thumbs) live in the hills of Kloofendal Amphitheatre, the Helderkruin tower close, Im just hoping it is high enough!!

Anxious:whistle:
 
Yay got a phone call and installation date for the 16th! Seriously excited have reached my wits end with telkom :/

Really hope LOS is clear! :D
 
Hi guys,

So after a lot of reading, I'm still indecisive about whether or not to make the leap to Bitco. The issue I'm facing is: I cannot confirm if Bitco still has issues with gaming (Specifically CS:GO). From what I've read, it seems CS:Go has major packet loss issues on bitco. If anyone can confirm or highlight this point, I'd really appreciate it. It's about the only thing stopping me from moving over.

Thanks,
Sumi.

I can confirm that I play COD MW3 with zero packet loss, same with WoW, Rust and some other odds and ends. Some people have had issues which has been noted here. Not everyone does though from my understanding.
