Yeah for Centurion and PTA East MetroFibre has some sort of loadbalanced NLD setup fort backhaul to Teraco. Single thread is around 720Mbps while multithread I max the line. There is a difference in latency between IPv4 and IPv6 also that seem to support this theory.

Previously in Amberfield I was maxing my line at ~955Mbps single thread.

You at least have decent ping, I am stuck on 20 ping to any speed test server, staying in Gqeberha sucks

With the recent change, it should drop to 12ms to Cape Town. Give it a shot, assuming you're also on MFN.
I'm fairly close to you in the "baai" and mine dropped recently. It looks like MFN may have a new NLD according to @AfriNatic, but he was not able to confirm :)

It did drop, but my ping is back to around 20 again, my international latency is back to over 200 again... and 200 ping when playing a competitive shooter does not help you

Expecting updated signs in Eastern Cape :ROFL: What do you think this is? Some kind of first world province?

First world province of Western Cape also says PE. Same with KZN and Free State. I drove from CT to DBN, didn't see one sign to qkjhfkulsdhfkls.

Oh you're from EC? Condolences.

Why you in a thread about Fibre. Aren't you okes still banging two cans together with string or something?

I moved from Centurion. I didn't feel challenged enough by my circumstances in Centurion, needed more victim points. Now I have no water, no electricity and no roads.

On the fibre topic, though, my latency improved quite a bit in the last month. It was fairly annoying to have 20ms+ to Cape Town and almost 40ms to JHB. Apparently MFN routed through Bloem from EC, but looks like they have a more direct route to CPT now, which is welcoming.
