Good afternoon,
Are there any ISP recommendations for a 20mb capped fibre in Faerie glen? Preferable with VoIP services if possible.
So far I only found Voxtelecoms with it.
I've also taken a look at MWEB Fibre, but I'm not sure how their capped options are regarding to shaping and so on.

You may find the comparison in this post (from this thread) useful. Unfortunately the information's a bit dated, but it may help you with an overview.

I can't comment on MWeb's capping/shaping policies on FTTH - no recent experience, unfortunately.
But one nice thing about MWeb's packages is that they all come with free VoIP account(s). You can have multiple SIP accounts, with a combination of geographic (eg 012- ) and non-geographic (eg 087- ) numbers. You don't get a VoIP phone like with Vox, but you can use the account(s) with a PC softphone (like Zoiper) or you can just buy the VoIP phone you want.
It's also worth considering going with a bolt-on VoIP service from a specialist provider, like the R49/month one from SwitchTel.
See this post and the few that follow for a related discussion.

There was a break in Fibre at Mooikloof Ridge on Sunday from 1230 until about 1630,

It was fixed, I would suggest that you give your ISP a call.

Thank you.

I did take out the fibre pig tail out of my ONT (not sure what I thought I'd see). Maybe I didnt put it back properly. Will check this afternoon.

Webafrica logged a ticket with Telkom for my line, can anyone else please confirm that their Fibre is either up or down.

I just checked now, my Fibre is back up now. Thank goodness. Dont have enough content on Plex to take us through so many days without an internet connection.

And then i lost connection again....so it seems as though they are busy with it.

Hi, mine is still down and my neighbors is also down. Telkom told me the cabling department will have to fix it.

Mine is now back up and seems to be stable. But mine was fixed without anyone coming out, telkom testing department or something to that effect. But Telkom definitely did something wrong on sunday. Some guys were up on sunday and others not.
