Question of the Day: Which is the most hair-raising South African mountain pass you've driven?
Fibre in Ramsgate

With FTTH there are usually different types of layers to the rollout.
Layer 1 is usually backhaul. This can be an FNO or it can be outsourced and bought from a provider. Some that comes to mind is Openserve, Link Africa, Dark Fibre Africa, MTN, Liquid Telecoms, Seacom etc.
Layer 2 is usually the rollout of the FTTH and the OLT or switch.
Layer 3 is the ISP part which can be Afrihost or even the FNO itself like in the case of Metrofibre where they can be L2 and L3.
In this case the Vendor is likely the backhaul provider between the OLT's for Frogfoot.

Oh yeah the browser protocol has always been extremely erroneous for different reasons. I once ran the browser Speedtest on an Android TV box compared to a sideloaded app version and it gave me 25 vs 94mbps respectively with disgusting ping of course.
On more powerful devices I mainly use it to quickly check if something is wrong but for performance checking I always use native / cli tools.
And yet others like Yuu above get full line speed on websites. Just browse the number of threads here. How to explain that then?

Yep I wish I could, it just seems to depend on a few factors I don't know of yet. I also closely saturate my line on most browsers but I've noticed that throughput with jitter testing was affected regardless.
Could you do a speedtest with incognito mode, just curious to see something.
Hi,
We don't prioritise traffic at all. The Speedtest.net app is just better at handling the high speeds compared to a browser where the browser can actually cause the bottleneck and throttle the speeds.
It should be the same where a browser speedtest will be slow but downloading torrents via a torrent client is fast. The actual software just runs better.
Yeah don't worry, I know what you re about to tell me...
/ I forgot to test in Incognito last night.

Im not going to tell you anything
just curious to see the difference.So i am going through the paper this afternoon, yes thats right i was bored and needed something to do
i see there is a big ad in the paper that metrofibre is coming to the coast, good to see the coast is geting different options.
Currently it seems the areas covered for now will be Anerley, Bazley Beach, Elysium, Hibberdene, Ifafa Beach, Melville, Mtwalume, Palmcliffe, Pumula, Southport, Sunwich Port, Umzumbe and Wood Grange.

Nice. Get ready for even more downtime due to new cable breaks as result of all this digging though.
And Hibberdene but not Tweni or Marburg and Sheppie which is the business hub seems stupid.
They are starting in Hibberdene digging north so no use to us.

Hopefully they come around our end at some stage, the more the merrier. Can always reach out to them and tell them how bad the down time of ff is and maybe they will consider at some stage.
That being said openserve is live for me, they seem to be on track.
