If you don't live in Johannesburg, and you want low local latency, then don't get Supersonic.

For some reason they are routing all traffic via Johannesburg, which means that if you live in Cape Town, and want to game on CPT servers, you will have 90ms+ latency, which is really bad for local gaming.

Testing on the same Tower:
On my MTN cellphone I get less than 50ms when playing local, and about 170ms when playing international, while on Supersonic, I always get around 100ms local, and 230ms international which is very bad.

They have no intention of fixing their routing, and their support also don't know what you're talking about when you mention it to them.

The speeds that I get is great, but the latency is very bad, so if online gaming is important to you, then don't get Supersonic, unless you live in Johannesburg.

Their support & client communication is also quite bad. I've been a customer for more than a month now, and still can't access my online portal to manage my account, check my usage & invoices etc.

In short, you will probably get decent speeds, because MTN has a solid network. Latency will be bad if you don't live in Johannesburg (not MTN's fault, it's Supersonic that doesn't know what they're doing), and support will be non-existent.

So which ISP do you recommend for a gamer living in Cape Town?

So which ISP do you recommend for a gamer living in Cape Town?

If you don't have Fibre coverage, and you have good Rain 5G coverage, I would recommend Rain 5G Premium.

I get decent local and international latency, because they route traffic properly via CPT for me:

If you have Fibre coverage, then I would say go with Afrihost or Cool Ideas for a good experience.

You can get same deal from MTN direct but its only 1tb capped and not uncapped.

Otherwise fibre via afrihost
