Vandalize the conduit so nobody has anything, I'm sure they'll be more willing to pay then.

lol, this is not really a bad idea... But seeing as most of the people in my complex are old and happy with 2GB caps on LTE they won't mind...

I'm not sure if people missed it, but I DO have wireless in the form of Amobia. But I am not very satisfied, and since I use it for online gaming I am not sure another WISP will do much better. I have been looking at Level 7 but with the installation costs and no guarantee that they will be better, I have my doubts.

I am looking at Telkom SmartInternet Unlimited LTE, but no one from Telkom seem willing to give me sales info. I've tried facebook, MyBB and their call centre. I just want to know a few things like what the FUP cap is, what the shaping is like, whether there is a trial period etc.

In the policy, Telkom says it reserves the right to apply restrictions on an uncapped account if a customer’s behaviour is affecting the user experience of other customers on the network.

Telkom says it can also throttle these customer’s throughput speeds or shape their bandwidth and the company reserves the right to apply a cap of 50GB in instances where users use bandwidth intensive protocols or applications such as bittorrent traffic downloaded via peer to peer, application to application, application to server and news servers protocols.

Telkom also says that bandwidth intensive protocols and applications will be throttled across the network to 128 Kbps during peak network periods of between 6pm - 12am.

:wtf:

I use my wireless just fine for gaming. How fast is your line, is it shaped, unshaped, whats the quality of the signal, whats the user ratio on the line. Not all wireless are equal.
