Nope, you can use your own router.

Any updates on Home Connect, they are 100/100 for R888 per month which has me wondering to take the service

Stop wondering and take it... What you currently using?

I'm moving to a frogfoot area end of July.
I've seen people say CISP and some Supersonic, but Home connect seems to be great as well?

Have you seen the CISP feedback thread lately??

So your saying home connect and supersonic should rather be my two choices?

Yea frogfoot
Got my folks setup on Home Connect (Frogfoot), only 10/10 but the network seems pretty good, pings as good as CISP and good peering in CPT (doesnt route via JHB first) - I have a raspberry pi sitting there so I can check it out. They stream mostly and no complaints. Tenda AC6 router supplied works very well in their house (not huge, but has up and downstairs, works a lot better than the Zyxel VDSL router they had before which needed a wifi extender).

Nice
Yeah the sales guy at HC told me they send the better tenda router on 100mbps and up packages. Cause i'm quite keen on the bigger router they had on their site, so happy about that!
They have 200/200 for R988 which is a much better deal

True not bad at all!
But it's only me and the wife , one 4k tv for streaming , one 1080p for streaming as well ( We sometimes watch at the same time our own shows ) 2 devices which she is always on whatsapp with family sharing videos et c..
And then there's me with the FPS shooter online games....
So 200mbps seems overkill , heck even 100mbps seems overkill but at R818 pm it's what i'm paying now for adsl 10mbps...
- wtf do I have to pay 1070 a month for a 20/10 service with Vox on openserve. Is there any provider on openserve that can give competitive pricing like this home-connect deal?
