openserve or metrofibre

[Kaj]

hey guys. can anyone tell me which is better for gaming?

I don't think it matters with them. Maybe check how many issues there are in your area and see if either have more issues. I have the same options here and I chose Openserve as the prices are much better

I have Metrofibre as an FNO and MFN direct as the ISP, pings are always stable at 2-5ms to JHB and around 18-21ms to Cape Town.

Can't complain.

I read some of the threads here and some were saying that local speeds were fast but international speed was terrible. I did not know such a thing existed so it got me worried.
Thanks for the replies

Openserve

No experience with Metro, but 11 months with Openserve and no major issues.

Seeing that Metrofibre dropped their prices they are cheaper than Openserve.
Can get a 400/400 from Metro for R1099 vs 100/100 From Openserve for R1029

So for me the question is during loadshedding do they stay up?
Any know issues?

Metro has never been down in my area due to load shedding,

I had extended outages a while ago, cable theft, and MFN stayed on as long as my little 12V UPS could keep it alive. Think it was close to 6 hours.

Metrofibre is way more cheaper than Openserve. Hope that Openserve will also do a price drop to be competitive. As for gaming, i can't really say. If i wanted to save money ill go with Metrofibre. If i am a serious gamer and don't mind spending a little bit more, ill go with Openserve. Read this article I found. I might help.

Definitely Openserve, been on Openserve for a while and am very happy, no issues to report. The most stable FNO I know

well this will not depend on mfn or openserve, rather the isp I guess..

A 400mb mfn line is as good as a 100mb openserve line. Good luck reaching full speel on mfn local or international bandwith
