Cool Ideas Fibre ISP - Feedback

[PBCool]

Nope

Cool following up for you.

Contention isnt as relative as it used to be as it was more around the last mile. Which should now be uncontended, but that isn't realistic either. PON networks more specifically due to the sharing and splitting. At the ISP level you just really need to manage access capacity which we never saturate. If we need more bandwidth we buy more it's as simple as that.

How can I then ensure a low contention on last mile on Vuma?

This morning they ask me for the things serial number.

Oh, so it appears it's not the serial number they need for provisioning but the ZNTS number. A number totally unrelated to the serial number!!!!

Vuma trenched last mile is gigabit copper to an aggregation switch. There may be contention on the back haul from that switch to their backbone but I doubt it's a thing.

 

[wingnut771]

For sure, but there's 'transparency'. And conversely if you want 1:1 contention ratios you can have it but expect to pay bombs...

Yet the cheapest Vuma bundle "Firestream" advertises UNCONTENDED.

I guess that means everyone is UNCONTENDED.

 

[sand_man]

So has the new ONT been provisioned as yet?

ONT provisioned!!

Boom!!

Change 160M to 100M

You have a 100 or 200Mbps Line?

If 100 then you need to reduce 80 - 100.
iperf3.exe -R -u -b 80M -p 17001 -c queen.cisp.co.za

If 200 then you can use, 180 - 200
iperf3.exe -R -u -b 180M -p 17001 -c queen.cisp.co.za

 

[sand_man]

Change 160M to 100M

Why? I got a 200Mbps account...

 

[wingnut771]

Why? I got a 200Mbps account...

Oh my bad. Speed test looked like 100

 

[wingnut771]

You would assume Vuma would do these tests onsite before they leave.

 

[wingnut771]

What would be the correct iperf settings for 20M line?

My install is coming up and will make sure I hold him hostage (got 5 rottweilers) until I see a pass test.

What does a pass look like?

I would guess 18 - 20.

This is accepted as a pass.

Which? The last mile?

 

[sand_man]

You would assume Vuma would do these tests onsite before they leave.

The ont was swapped out but wasn't provisioned yet or configured or whatever it is they do. So wasn't syncing.

I actually told the youngster the ont was being replaced owing to packet loss. He was like, 'what's packet loss'?

 

[wingnut771]

Which? The last mile?

Yes, between me and vuma.
