I am drooling for that connection, however how do their contention ratios look? And how long before they reach the limits of what their uplink can support?

For their part I hope their performance stays this great!

Time to sell the house and move

not bad... Telkom should start worrying about their ADSL (+analogue line) income
but i guess they still have a finger in the pie with FTTH connection somewhere along the route, so they still get something, no?

Hi. Can u Provide Screen Shot of a Download on Bit-Torrent Showing a Download Speed of 25MBPS. ?

No, because
1. the user might just incriminate himself and
2. his line is only 25 Mb/s.

Am really loving all these Fibre stories because heavens knows how much we need it in our systems everyday.

 

[Nuro]

Cool. When can the rest of us 99.5 percent get fibre?

In the article there is a screenshot showing it peaked around 2997KB/s. That is almost 3MB/s, convert bytes to bits by multiplying by 8.

Thus 24Mb/s,fairly close to 25Mb/s

Eh I'd love 25, beats the pants off my current 2Mbs connection.

Telkom has installed fibre down the road. Would theirs be closed and I cannot use another service provider?

 

[th0rn]

Telkom's FTTH offering ties into IP Connect, all the existing xDSL ISPs can therefore be used.
