Have you moved from SAIX?

[ZuBS_]

Moved to IS from today

Lol, what company is that?

lol. I was on a 30gig SAIX reseller account, but with the new price increase and all the telkom crap my adsl got pushed from "Almost justifiable" to "Overpriced luxury" There are better ways to spend ludicrous amounts of money.

 

[PostmanPot]

stayed. WebAfrica 3gb (got a free one though lol)

peace

IS are adding extra satellite bandwidth in Feb, up to a gig of international.

Local is mostly LAN for them as they have most of the content.

 

[PostmanPot]

in Feb...

 

[Kalvaer]

December Holidays might be a bit hard then..

If they one day can bring the latency on Satelite to the same or lower than Cable.. I'm there

 

[Vrotappel]

Moved to IS, local speed is amazing. International very slow. Looks like I am going to need 3 accounts this month. There's a lot of local content on IS.

Yup! And for all of you torrenters and P2Pers, there's a lot of local content as well

IS ftw!

 

[Nom Chompsky]

Going to move to SAOL - need low latency for my online games.

 

[Toxin]

I was about to ask about local games. Anybody here play on the SGS servers with an IS account? Specifically BF2.

 

[reydon]

Moved to IS - Don't play games so latency not an issue.

 

[Highflyer_GP]

latency shouldn't be too high locally.
moved to IS, taking every opportunity i can to get as far away from telkom as possible. when sno arrives gonna move to them as well

 

[maloom]

Moved to IS, screw Telkom up their silly @sses

Toxin here's a thread on SGS which reveals IS ping times: http://games.saix.net/cgi-bin/sgsbb/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=240;t=33069 - not very good.

EDIT - go to the second page and a little way down there's "the" post.

During office hours, IS to SAIX servers will be wonky atm 100-150ms.

After 5pm, latency is back to normal of 40-50ms to any SAIX Server you wish to play on. IS is not the way these idiots posts on the SGS forum.

 

[Necrite]

That's still about 20-30ms more than I get currently.

 

[Clipse]

Well fair enough, if everyone going to moan about SAIX costing alot and hardcapping, then moan about IS ping being a bit higher to stupid SAIX servers.

Then my friends, no one will ever be happy with the SA solutions, there will allways be a tradeoff, atleast initially untill IS get more gaming servers up. Atm only the Mweb and Arena77 servers run on the IS backbone.
