Seacom ISPs?

[TofuMofu]

So does anyone know which ISPs uses Seacom for their ADSL bandwidth?

I'd like to give it a try and see what the latencies and stuff are like.

none yet... they all claim that they are still testing and it is imminent, but none have actually yet confirmed 100% that they are feeding in Seacom bandwidth.

Simple answer is... we are also still waiting.

Internet Solutions have a 10 Gb/s circuit,
Neotel ?? Circuit
Then of course Telkom dropped prices to be in line with Seacom prices

"imminent" seems to be a very popular word on the forum.

Webafrica is using seacom, on their trial accounts

the WA trial was uh yea- slowwwww

It was slow for a few days so that they could sort out some problems....

But other than that, im getting full speed on my 4mb line.... downloading some torrents now @ 380KB/s plus pulling some stuff of news servers with the remaining speed

The infamous Telkom neologism.

Like I said... there has been NO official confirmation yet.

A Trial is not the same thing as a final product launch.

Cybersmart has Seacom bandwidth on trial which they will implement later on.

I'm one of the trial users, I have seen good speeds & latencies compared to other isp's.

The Webafrica trial is very true to its African roots - slow as hell

Ye I know about them. Was hoping maybe another ISP has already implemented it.

What are the latencies you get to say Paris on speedtest.net?

Are you able to post some traceroutes to google.ch (Europe) & cnn.com (USA)?

Many thanks

Will try later, currently on my crappy WA trial account...

Hope the seacom cybersmart deal comes through. Have been with them for 3-4 years now. Can't wait.
