I am now live with my Fibre in Freeway Park Boksburg.
One thing I still notice lots of the ISP's still have a fair user policy, this is ADSL thing to control bandwidth share from the exchange. Fiber does not work the same way not sure why 10% of the ISP's still employ FUP.
My ISP is Vox and there is no FUP on my uncapped package. My Fibre provider is Vuma, they have a ring POP system which means you do not share bandwidth with other users. This means you have a straight connection without speed and bandwidth issues or restrictions. Open source fibre is great for consumers as you can change to an ISP and 30-day notice if you not happy with the price or service. Plus most have an option month to month meaning no 12 or 24 months contracts.
So if you go for Fibre which is the future copper ADSL will phase out, do your homework to you not get stuck with such as FUP in this day and age.
