Fibre ISP on DFA (Cape Town, Kenilworth)

[Nicholas Marzio]

Hi Everyone

I am looking for a new ISP who uses the DFA network in Cape Town, Kenilworth.

I currently have CyberSmart 100/100 Enterprise package but I want to find a new ISP with better prices than R12km/pm.

I also want to deploy two more connections to two of our other campuses.

Does anyone know of any ISPs which would be able to provide this kind of package/solution.

Thanks

Whatever the ISP - DFA will still charge the ISP +- 5-6k pm just to rent each node on the fibre backbone - this isn't FTTH which is shared and alot cheaper to run - your fibre pipe is dedicated to you only hence the higher price. Your alternative to get your pricing down is to share your fibre with others in your building or area but this isn't an easy task.

Hey, Thanks for the info. Currently on a 10:1 Connection so it is already shared like FTTH. A 1:1 connection is like R53K/pm for 100/100.

Your fibre pipe is most probably 1:1 to POP which is what I meant. The ISP contends 10:1 on international bandwidth all local and CDN traffic isn't contended generally. With FTTH you are contended right from your street on an infrastructure level - using mainly two technologies PON and Active E or Passive and Active. With FTTH - costs are far cheaper due to this infrastructure being paid buy 10 to 50 people oppose to just you but then the bandwidth is shared too. Advantages are that you can run multiple services over that link for example SIP.

That depends, with DFA networks you can have Calyptes linking your dark last mile links. So this can be contended before it reaches the POP/ISP Core.

From a FTTH perspective most PON operators are doing a 32 split on 2.5Gbps Up 1.2Gbps Down cards, so your contention is very low, and that's only if everyone uses a 100Mbps service.

On Active Ethernet like Vumatel you have a 1Gbps switch port per home into the precinct POP, from there it's aggregated backhaul at whatever is required to carry the need.
