Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

Let me just state outright, that the 1000/500Mbps offering from Vumatel is um, bleuch, but we're still gonna offer it.

That 1000/500 pricing next to 1000/200 makes no sense! What is Vumatel' s reasoning for such a massive gap?

Yep, very concerned about the 2.5, 5, 10gbp/s pricing now. Vuma might be a bit mad/crazy.

What's the new price of the 200/200 Vumatel line? I see Afrihost has it for R1147. Doesn't make sense as it's only R48 more than the new price of my 100/100 line

EDIT: It's R1349

@PBCool I'm down again today with no broadband or service light on my ONT. checked announcements and there’s nothing there.

its getting really tough with all these disconnects now as I am working from home and being disconnected constantly is making it even harder to do my work. Could you maybe see if there’s an issue with my line?

ticket number: COOL-20210622-709330

I can't wait to say goodbye to this.

Service and broadband lights off for a few of my clients in carlswald area MFN
Including myself ? Any issue logged ? @PBCool

Still got a outage, Service light is on but not broadband now @PBCool

[User52]

@PBCool - do you know when LinkAfrica areas in Durban are going to be moved over to MetroFibre? I heard MFN bought out LinkAfrica FTTH areas? As soon as that happens we definitely moving to CISP due to better quality and decent pricing.

 

[r00igev@@r]

They are still formulating something commercially, will probably be 2.5, 5 and 10Gbps options.

The trial has been on the backburner a bit, managed 4Gbps both ways on a regular speedtest with 1500MTU.

Whats the processor and ethernet controller you using? Memory and bus speed also plays a role on both sides.
With this Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3634 MHz, 8192 KB cache, 4 cores, AES7668 MB - it pushed close to 7GB after disabling hyperthreading.
Hyperthreading ups the cores to 8 but drops speed to below 4GB.

 

[midasza]

What do you even do with 10Gbps at home? I think there are two commercial routers that I know of that can handle those speeds (Asus AXE11000/GT-AX11000). On the plus side, you can resell to a small complex and you never have to worry about bandwidth saturation.

I have 10GB/s connected servers running at home for personal use. And I am using a Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+ which will be able to do those speeds. Not saying I need 10GB/s but I could definitely connect to it. I regularly max out my current 200/200 vumatel line.

LOL at Asus routers being "commercial".

 

[Gambit]

LOL at Asus routers being "commercial".

I'm guessing he means commercially available at retail, not enterprise-grade.

 

[midasza]

I'm guessing he means commercially available at retail, not enterprise-grade.

I would put my mikrotik in the same category ... its definitely not enterprise grade

 

[Gambit]

I would put my mikrotik in the same category ... its definitely not enterprise grade

I would think that some of the more expensive Cloud Core Mikrotik models will pass for enterprise-grade but not carrier-grade.

 

[ZANAIDOC]

Guys , what speed should i be getting on a 200/200 line with the laptop connected directly to the ONT ?
I would assume that around 190+Mbps both ways is a good link even 180 sounds good to me now.... Im getting between 130 and 150 down and 190+ upload.

Been having hells with CI and MFN the last few weeks .....
