Openserve max Fibre speed 100mb/s

[ShadowR]

Hi ladies and gents.

Do any of you have any contacts with Openserve.

I am curious as to why they have such basic speed packages to choose from. Also they are all a ratio of 2:1

Currently on a 100mb/50mb line and when i sent a query to Openserve on why they don't offer fibre speeds above 100mb/s while other networks like Vumatel offer 200mb/s plus they said i must ask my ISP. What a ridiculous answer.

Surely with this kind of practice and also being more expensive than the competitors they will lose market share.

Thoughts?

Lol thats Telkom(OpenServe) for you

No. They are correct

OP, Vumatel doesn't offer any packages of any speed. They are all ISP packages. Vumatel is not an ISP.
Talk to your ISP.

Also, what would you do with a faster line? I can almost guarantee you are not connecting to any service that can benefit from a faster down speed.

Well. I'm maxing my 100Mbps fibre line on SABNZBD and still have to wait 4min to download 3GB so yeah you can always do with a faster line.

Complaining about 100Mbps being too slow? That is funny, you should try 10Mbps ADSL.

The 2:1 ratio is due to the PON technology used, which also happens to be the most widely deployed technology by telecoms operators around the word meeting the needs of the majority of people. Majority of people are consumers of data and not creators of data thus the upload speeds are fine for most.

They might lose market share but at this stage they cover more area than other providers. In my location there are no other providers so who do I switch to?

Unless you live in a densely populated first word country fibre is actually not that common, there are people in the US that would kill for what you have.

Well I'm on Aeonova360 and they also using PON for their fibre and have symmetrical speeds. Why Openserve did choose to half it does not make sense even with the limited speed on the OLT it is still unlikely to get congested if you have symmetrical speeds

The standard does allow for 620/155Mbps, they're probably using GPON which is 2.5Gbps/1.25Gbps. You just need to know the split ratio to see if they would be able to allow higher uploads.
It's more likely they limited it to make it that they don't have to upgrade the exchanges to handle more. Why offer more if you can get away with less?

Again, this, while technically accurate in part, had sweet FA to do with the ISP and the product/line speed they offer, which is the actual problem for the OP.

Tell me about it, hell I would be happy with 20mb or 40mb VDSL.

One can only hope

I've been saying the same thing on other threads dont make zero sense as to why anyone would want a 100mbps line fools gold if you ask me.

It's 2.5Gbps/1.25Gbps with a 32:1 ratio.

Would be happy to get even that.

 

[cavedog]

I have never seen confirmed info from Openserve about that split ratio. People just assume it's that because of the adsl/vdsl contention ratio...

I'm not assuming anything.

I'm not assuming anything.

I did not say you and was speaking in general actually. By your statement you have facts that is not available to the public so forgive me for not taking your word for it.

 

[ShadowR]

I'm well aware that Vumatel is not an ISP but a fibre network provider. Did i say it was an ISP ?

Anyway i'm not complaining about 100mb/s being too slow. I'm trying to figure out why they don't offer higher speeds compared to the other networks.

And btw with a family it's quite easy to use a 100mb/s line.

4K youtube.
4K movie streaming.
Downloading that 100GB new game you bought on STEAM...

When everyone is using the internet it's quite handy.

 

[pinball wizard]

Sure, but the fault lies with the ISP, not your fibre provider.

 

[kory]

I guess his question is that why do the same ISPs offer faster speeds on Vumatel network and slower in openserve. I think he is only right to assume that it is because one infrastructure/ infrastructure provider supports this and the other doesn’t. I have wondered about this myself.

Different infrastructure providers provide different services based on different technologies. Cybersmart for example will offer you a 500Mb/s service but their network coverage is extremely limited.
