Hi All

How are the connection speeds to the following content providers on a 10mb fibre option?
Youtube.com
Facebook.com
Netflix.com
Showmax.com

I am trying to figure out if home fibre is better than office fibre. On office accounts you get a 10:1 connetion ratio and very poor international speeds ( at times ). If you compare to ADSL this is less of an issue. I am current on a crouded exchange 10mb and struggle to stream Showmax during peak times. Will a 10mb fibre connection help this?

regards
 
If possible, I'd rather get a 20mb line minimum if you intend to do a lot of streaming or have a family that does streaming. That way there would be a sufficient enough upload speed (minimum of 5-10mb, depending on which service provider you go with).

Anyhow, that's just my opinion :)
 
Currently selected webafrica in Sept when Fibre installation began. I have not changed this yet as I do not want to wait further but this might come back to bite me....Opted for the 10mb uncapped account.
