Fibre VS 4g

[ellraven]

I'm in Centurion; have MTN Supersonic, and constantly get between 30 to 40 mb up and down speeds. I have the 200 GB data package for R599, and this amount of data is enough for me.

Openserve Fibre is now available in our area, Metrofibre is launching in 2 months, however except for being uncapped, unless going for a much more expensive package fibre seems to be slower than current 4G. Comparable package is Afrihost for a 25 Mbps up and down line for R597 pm, which seem to be a downgrade from what I have.

As I'm working from home, would the package that gives me the best speed for working on RDP sessions.

Your latency will be lower.

Centurion to JHB latency on Openserve is about 4-5ms.

25/25Mbps is not much lower than what you are getting now. It will likely be more stable and have a constant speed compared to LTE which by design is shared amongst everyone that uses the tower.

Openserve seems very stable. LTE is usually all over the place. (Was for me) +1 for Fibre.
I'd rather take 25Mbit Fibre which is constant than 40Mbit now, 12Mbit 5 seconds later and jumping back to 23Mbit just a little bit after that again.
