Has anyone moved from telkom or any other lte network to Fibre?

during peak times 7pm-10pm the speed drops to around 5-10Mbps, when its not peak times the speed is around 40Mbps.

If anyone has moved to fibre how much better is it?

will the speed drop during peak hours?

and also with torrenting, will i only able to download from 12am to 6 am, i know it depends on ISP, btw i am going with Vox which claim its unthrottled unshaped, is this true?

thank you

I just moved a week ago but only to a 4Mbps line cause it is so much cheaper. Moved from Rain LTE.

So far I'm very happy. Line is stable with good latency so the user experience is great. Also on unlimited plan so I don't have to worry about anything which was annoying with LTE. As with all products when network capacity is reached during those same times performance dips but not by much. Was able to smash about 100GB of torrents at full capacity over 2 days to that was great.

I’d moved , only because of the 100/100 fiber speeds - and it is better than lte, if you transfer large amounts. But at twice the cost for me.

I still have my lte deal , but the in-laws are using it now
