@lantic R59 uncapped 'bolt-on' feedback

Sign up was quick and easy for me, maybe just lucky. Made a gig4gig account and phoned them. Was less than two minutes on phoned. Email came about 5min later, which I had to reply to. All and all took about 10 min.
 
Yup. Will give their bolt on a try for a month or two - mostly for the weekend times. Can then maybe downgrade by day cape by quite some margin.

Account performs exceptionally well.

Especially streaming. Pings to gaming servers were rock solid as well.

Nice. Pity 75% of my line capacity goes down the drain with this though. Nice product at a crazy good price!
 
Wonder if it's tied to a telephone number...

Not at all... I use it everywhere I go (have a PPPoE connection on my laptop)...

But it is only one concurrent connection so you'll have to disconnect it at House A to connect it at House B

I have this account scheduled with a Telkom account

6pm - VOX comes active and give me 10MB/s
midnight - Telkom capped unmetered usage comes active and gives me 40MB/s

If I have BIG downloads *looking at you Xbone!*, then I'll do it after midnight. at around 17GB/hour its not so bad to catch up :)
 
I can confirm with little doubt that the Bolt-On only actually kicks in at exactly 6:05PM. If I'm capped, I have absolutely no throughput until then. After that, no problem. A little sneaky on their part, but for the price, no complaints.

This is more of a Telkom thing than a Vox thing.
 
Can you possibly share as to how you bond 2 accounts in your router as I would also like to attempt this.

Sure. pfSense dials each account and places them into a load balancing group with a weight of 1:1 each. So each connection made is allocated to one PPPoE session in round-robin format.
