Cool Ideas Fibre ISP - Feedback

Wow so welcoming on this forum, thanks for the help

People are grumpy because their internets are broken.

I think if it works on Openserve - great - if it doesn't - good luck getting support from Cool Ideas.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend, you just have to understand what happens when the internet doesn't work.

Not sure why you are quoting me on that. I don't use Cool Ideas so I can't say. I use Openserve and I know the fibre network is pretty solid. If you asked me about Supersonic I would have said you won't make a mistake best experience you will ever make but with Cool Ideas I'm not sure because I don't use or used them before.

Thanks, any ideas what is OpenServes charges for trenching? CPE needs to be 60m from access point. Or are they open to the line going airborne on a pole?

I understand this, have been having issues with Mweb and Telkom ADSL for the past 3 weeks and have been on hotspot from phone, hence the move to fibre

What VPN are you using? I'd like to give it a go. (Feel free to pm me if you Dont want to broadcast it)

 

[PBCool]

If the VPN is assisting then it's possible the VPN has a local POP, you have local latency to the VPN and so re-transmits arent an issue once again. What is the VPN hostname you connect to?

 

[PBCool]

Can someone on Frogfoot in CT having issues in the evenings please PM me your PPP username or a ticket number.

 

[Drekay]

@PBCool, do you have any idea if OpenServe is willing to go airborne on a pole from their access point to the CPE.

Thank you, that is what I want to see. Promising for then, when Vuma decide to pull their finger out and install CPE already.
