Frogfoot Port Elizabeth

Yeah, when I had rain then I also used PCC to load-balance and aggregate my traffic and also got it to send video streams via FF while it was up, and Rain when it was down. It was quite a smart setup.

Keen to get that going again, as FF is leaving me with no other choice it seems.
Good idea.

I got Frogfoot and the Vodacom 300gb+300gb special. Ok it does cost a lot more, but hardly any downtime when I do load balancing.

Yeah, life in SA is all about redundancy I suppose.

You need solar to supplement Eskom
You need water to combat the drought and dry taps
And you need backup internet for your froggin' awesome fibre
 
In Grahamstown everything was just fine until.... 7pm. Then fibregeddon.
 
You can’t make this sh_it up even if you tried.

No PR from FF to remotely try and get ahead of the fall out.

They’re right up there with Eksdom and Comair.

Blackout, they beat Eskom to it.

What an absolute joke .
By far the worst infrastructure I have had installed for the past 3 years .
Possibly the worst decision ever .
@Frogfoot Fibre
Time to look for alternatives.
 
Sevice was restored in George, some time between midnight and 7am. Let's see if it holds.
 
Vendor tech: "why are these two settings set? It clearly states in the manual they are incompatible with each other. Ugh now I have to check the whole config.... Amateurs"
 
Up since early this morning in Framesby. I had to reboot everything, and it worked. Speed and latency is good.
 
Oh no :( do i dare go ahead and get fibre after reading these extremely discouraging comments? Feel like that would be incredibly foolish now
If all you have is Frogfoot, I'd say stay away. Let your ADSL break and then get LTE, or hopefully by the time your ADSL breaks, you have someone else who trenched fibre outside your house!
