Hi All

Just got my Fibrehoods fibre installed and here is my speedtest results:

Using Vox as my provider. Speeds are overall great at the moment.

With Fibrehoods as well. Really chuffed with the insane speeds i get. Just don't hog the line....

Not too shabby.

But, it's not Google FTTH

Howzit, Fibrehoods have just started the setup in my area...cant wait!

Tell me, what router/modem/device do they use in the homes? Make/model?

Can you post a pic?

Hi.

The ONT they provide is a Zhone 2424A. The Link is: http://www.zhone.com/products/ZNID-GPON-2400A/. Mine is configured for bridge mode.

Vox provides a Huawei HG659 router. I though am using a Mikrotik Routerboard 2011.

I hope you get your fibre soon!

No, I'm in Norwood!!

The residence association was in heavy negotiations with Fibrehoods and was just about to pull the trigger (early June I believe) when a 3rd party came to the table canvassing for the precinct. They've been hearing proposals and as a result we looking at December now as a likely ETA!! Bloody irritated!! Fibrehoods has been looking solid. I see this new contender as an unnecessary procrastinator.

Damn thats crap!

Kryon, does the Vox adsl data work with Fibre?

 

[dualmeister]

Love the upload speeds though. When Telkom drop their prices enough I'll upgarde my 40 to 100

I pay Vox R850 per month for 100/50 down/up, 250GB, Vox Superphone and 1 gig 3G data. In Craighall, JHB.

Learned the hard way, no it doesn't. The fibre accounts run a slightly different config and don't work on ADSL.

Very cool. I thought Cool Ideas only offered 100/10. 100/75 is certainly compelling!

I asked them if they offered a faster upload, so they say yes for 2k a month.

Geesus, those speeds are insane in the SA context.... Can only dream...
