Looking at the SMME special for my business and noticed that while it's optimised for business use, it's advertised as unshaped meaning no protocols are given priority over another, so I'm assuming the only actually "optimisation" is its restriction for use within business hours (7am-6am as per the F.A.Q), correct?

If so, it's essentially a day time account. If not, I'm assuming large after hours transfers (backups, updates, clones etc) are expected and allowed?

Does the account come with priority support in the event it's necessary?

Does this run on Telkom IPC or is it part of the FTTB pilot you have running?

We do run network controllers on our end to prioritise business bandwidth, however on this account all traffic is pretty much treated equally in terms of the account itself. We don't care what's being used for the data, however this is intended for business use only as part of our SMME development investment, and the only real way to monitor this is to look at time of day usage. The alternative is to log DPI which is illegal in SA and we have zero intention of doing so.

It does run over our IPC network. If you're interested in our fibre offerings, the sign up form for the SMME product allows you to submit your details for a free fibre feasibility as well.

I'd really suggest looking at the SMME product if you're CIPC registered. It's usually R4,50/GB, so it's a massive drop in pricing and is limited in terms of numbers we're prepared to adopt on this special.

We are, however "usage" is equally spread out from 09:00-00:00the next morning as we're contracted by some overseas clients that require work done during their operating hours.

Great product but unfortunately it won't work for us.

Hope to see more innovation like this in the market.

Want to me PM me what you'd like and I can see what I can do for you?

Weren't expecting it at all, but there are a few auth issues we're just busy resolving at the moment. Should be back up very shortly for those affected.

Well, it's been a while, I suppose. /snip

Some interesting news, I'm sure all your customers appreciate it. The interaction on chat when it happens is also very cool and appreciated :)

Keep up the good work ...... and try get some rest every now and then, workaholic :p

DJ, any plans on building your own fibre network in Durban, my area specifically, as soon as possible though, only gonna be here for 6 more months.

Telkom and their damn congested exchanges are killing the awesome experience I should be having on the new home capped profile. :eek:

Usage for Home Capped not working anymore?

EDIT: Daily emails will suffice in the interim, thanks CW.
