I see that my area is now covered by Supersonic AirFibre.

Is there anyone in CPT/PE (or nearby) with this service? I'd like to see how the routing/latency is with this service. I know their LTE routes via JHB for PE/CPT.
 
I followed up with SuperSonic this morning to check if all is in order, as no upfront payment was requested when the order was placed. I was also keen to hear if they could provide a lead time for installation.

Very happy to see that SuperSonic is active on their WhatsApp account, and I got a response at 7:19 this morning. I was informed that the order was being processed and that there is a 7 - 14 working days SLA.

So I continued with my day, and at 12:29 I received an email and SMS letting me know that my order had been handed over to the installation team and to allow 5 - 10 working days for installation to be completed. Five minutes later I received a phone call to make an appointment for installation.

The appointment has been made for tomorrow @ 11.

Which speed/package did you take?
 
I'm in PE. The routing is much better than it was back when I had F-LTE with SS.

Looks really great, pity not in my area yet.

Tower is one street away :(

Rain 5g just outside covered area so upload is useless and openserver fibre is 1 street away, so close but yet so far from decent internet

I wasn't notified that AirFibre was available, so maybe keep an eye on the coverage map...

@B-127, How's the product been treating you so far? You only gave us a single speed test so far.

Here are a few tests:

I tried out CS GO last night and my latency was stable at 36ms.
I've noticed some routing doesn't make sense, like for example, with 1.1.1.1 I'm directed to the Joburg IPX, whereas the Cape Town one has lower latency.

Very happy with the connection thus far.
