Hi Everyone. I want to know what the best Fibre for gaming would be? I play COD APEX etc. on XBox and currently have two good offers between Cool Ideas and Mweb. Durban based. I am hearing a lot of bad stuff about Mweb. If anyone has any good suggestions please let me know. Ping, latency and so on have to be taken into account. I really don't want to make the wrong decision.

Thanks :)
 
Definitely Cool Ideas or Web Squad! They are both very active on MyBB and care greatly about tweaking their networks for the best experience.
Rather leave Mweb for the oupas en oumas.
Your experience can also depend on your line provider, though.
 
For online gaming latency is the measuring stick. They are all equal in that field. Choose which one you think will be able to give you the best support and after service.

For local, possibly (if they have servers in JHB, DBN and CPT). But international latency depends on what upstream providers each ISP is using and who they peer with.

I am on Openserve fibre on Cool Ideas and live pretty close to Durban. I usually get 3ms to Durban and 15ms to Joburg.

I usually get between 170 to 185ms to London, which is where servers for most games like Apex Legends are. I would say that it's probably the best ping we can get to London from KZN.

The only complaint I have about Cool Ideas is that their call centre support isn't too great but I would suggest getting in contact with them on the forum or on Twitter if you want a problem sorted out quicker.
