Rocketnet - feedback?

Blitz fibre are starting to install in our building (in PE) tomorrow, will take a few weeks

I am considering RocketNet but I have a few questions

- Do you peer with Hurricane Electric in JHB, I use their ipv6 tunnel service
- Do you have a static ip option by any chance
- Would like to confirm I can use my own router (mikrotik)
- I am in PE, I assume our traffic will breakout in JHB as I think that is where you peer/connect with Blitz?
- Procedure or implications of upgrading or downgrading speed, any charges etc?

@RocketNet-Rep is there an issue with fibre in Midrand on MFN? Can’t get over 1Mbps on a 10Mbps symmetric line. Ping is also over 1000ms. Logged a call but waiting for a ref number.
Anyone else have this issue as well? It was fine 2 hours ago

Also.. judging from the last few comments in the CISP thread it would seem as if MFN is having issue in midrand.

How's the latency to league of legends EU on rocketnet? Ping wise! Below 150ms?

I'm from CPT yes.
League of legends Server is in Netherlands EU . IP : 104.160.141.3

Roundtrip time is 148ms on my end, that's just the latency to the server and doesn't obviously include any compute time that would be needed for the game server.

Have you played the game, does it look similar ingame ?

I don't play it no. It would be around still be around the 150ms mark if I had to guess. Been playing Battlefront 2 and connect to the servers in Germany which reports a ping of 155ms.
