Only thing left to do is to vote with your wallets, chaps. Sadly most of us don't have any other options available but for our needs the Telkom 1TB deal should be fine.

Can't wait to be free of this nonsense in a month or so from now.

Same. It's pathetic. How am I supposed to run a work from home office with this?

My guess is that they'll pull the 'this is a residential use product' card and suggest you get a commercial level installation with a business SLA in place.

But it does suck for people who depend on this for a living :(
 
Been struggling with my Home-Connect x Frogfoot 200/200 connection where I get this on single thread performance:

As per my ISP's seniors "Most connections cannot achieve full speed from a single connection. This is particularly true on faster lines". Okay fine but 10% only?
I might as well then drop down to a 20/20 and get my money worth.
Oh and this on international:

Might as well go back to LTE, and pick up that 1TB Telkom deal.
 
Nope, up in Newton Park. But almost guaranteeing it's going to go down today. It's a given nowadays.
Frogfoot cannot keep up a decent network, upgrades or not. I've never had our line go down as often as it does with fibre. Hell, I miss Telkom! I think I went down maybe 10x in the 8 years I had them. It's been about 30 times in the past 3 weeks on Frogfoot.
Anyone got any experience of SADV? They also trenched in Newton Park. I'd have to wait till next year June to can Frogfoot though due to the installation cost.

Thanks, mine also goes down regularly, but it's normally only for a few minutes, normally less than 5min. It's now been down almost 2 hours, which is quite a lot longer than normal. Logged a ticket with Coolideas, let's see what comes of that.

I don't think any other FNO can be as bad as FF is right now for Port Elizabeth.

What is the installation fee, if I may ask? Do you need to have the line installed for x amount of time before they waive the fee? The reason I am asking is because we didn't have a fee (living in a complex though) so I am curious to know how they lock people in.
 
I am going to try ask some people who I know are on MFN here in Summerstrand.
Going to ask about latency and uptime etc

I was on Openserve for 2-3 months and it was a dream (latency was 20-30ms but so stable)

Working again. Issue was on ISP's side. Nice quick response time from Coolideas to sort this out.
