SADV or Openserve for Vox/Cool Ideas

[ghostRgg]

Still currently stuck between choosing to stay with Cool Ideas (I love them, but the past month has been hell) and moving back to Vox. With Vox, I honestly had over 6 months of uptime but moved due to cheaper and uncapped options with CISP.

Currently using OpenServe and have had zero issues, but I see that Openserve actually has a FUP with most other ISP including vox. My work and hobbies generally require moving 4K video footage and design works pretty fast. Probably use more than 1TB a month quite easily, but not always. So a little torn between if it's worth the switch. My priority is stability.

SADV is busy rolling out and nearly done in my road. They seem to be cheaper for a 100/100 and have no FUP.

So who is better as a fibre provider? SADV or OpenServe?

webafrica?

Yes new pricing on Openserve and other ISPs. Completely unshaped.

They are using Echonet/Liquid Telecoms also.

Oh damn thanks!
So I assume service/latency on SADV and Openserve will be the same.

Do yourself a favour and first see what the cool ideas feedback thread looks like as well as the attittude of their reps before considering them.

Yeah I see that there is a ton of issues and stuff, but what other ISP isn't having issues?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

SADV purely because of the price difference.

Openserve would be my last resort if there's no other option...
