I think that's the CW 250GB 100Mbps account, uncapped midnight to 6pm. Cap's just in that 6 hour window.

I use around 1TB per month

Yeah they dug up my road(Mowbray Str) a while back already and again recently. Still nothing on the map.

Really slow progress.

any news ?

We might get vdsl (fibre taking forever)

 

[Reaper84]

There must be a problem or something for them to be taking this long rolling it out into Newton Park.

Hardly any updates to the map

It's the slowest roll-out I've ever seen.

How would I know which speedtest server will give me the most accurate results, especially for ping? Ookla's recommended server for me is mostly a Bloemfontein server or that Vodacom PE server, but both of them show me bad ping results in comparison to some Cape Town servers.

Looks like Openserve are busy in Perridgevale and Adcockvale...

Hi Ampzy

You would generally want to use a server in Cape Town, our IPC (ADSL and Telkom FTTH) is in the "Southern Region" which terminates there

Makes sense. Thank you Leno!

UPDATE:
It is MTN who are rolling out FTTH in Perridgevale and Adcockvale.

Considering the state of ISPs on Openserve, that's probably a good thing.

Never before have I had the problem of wanting to leave an ISP but having no one to move to.

And their prices aren't the best either, sadly. I saw them around Rowallan Park a month or so ago. There's a business/industrial park not too far from Rowallan Park that's covered by them.

The MTN prices aren't bad.

R799pm line rental for 100Mbps is better than most Openserve rates. R620pm for 600GB (+1TB night data) or R900pm for 1.1TB (+2TB night data) is pretty good. R1419pm for 600GB @ 100Mbps and a ton of night data is better than most Openserve arrangements if the quality of the network is good and the data is unshaped.
