Bitco home wireless internet

[tm458]

Hi, does anyone here use Bitco's 30mbps home wireless internet and is the latency good for prolonged use of online gaming?

I used Bitco's 10mbps a couple of years back and it was amazing. I then moved to Vodacom fibre and it was such a big mistake. Am on Rain 5G now.

I've got it. Dunno about the latency - how do i test it ?

Oh wow, i see i actually have coverage for this here in Durban..

is it completely uncapped??
speeds consistent as well...?
also worried about gaming consistency..

annd would it be worth the extra R500 i currently pay for Telkom LTE 80gig...

Go to Speedtest.net and see what your ping is on the left.
How long have you had the service?

It's quite quick. Depends on where they find the best signal. With me it was on the garage roof, so had to pull in a cable from there. Only hazzle is they have a "period" of up to a week where they monitor the signal before installing the router.

Uncapped. I'm not an online gamer so wouldn't know if i get throttled. Used mainly for downloading movies, series and streaming.

ok well i am assuming you do a lot of downloading so it has been pretty good for that purpose i assume?

for R1000 a month i guess its not too bad

I dl quite alot of k@k. My previous wireless was 6mbps - for streaming it's a bit schit. So i wanted to upgrade to 10mbps which is R999. Just makes sense paying a little extra for 30mbps.

yea i agree. Contemplating this actually.... just a big jump from R550 though..

I jumped from R810 - Well worth it. And when the girl and kids visit they can go Bosbefok without hindering my streaming.

LOL from me its R550 for 80 gigs... so it could possibly be a great thing but not sure i could afford that currently
