Which ISP is better?

[Megamuffin]

im going to swap from Rain 5g to fibre, 5g was great but the strict NAT type is just causing me too many problems.

Here are my options at R699 (thats what im paying right now so i want the same price)

- Fibrestream
- Wondernet
- Telkom (probably wont go with telkom cause their just too difficult contact and sort things out in the past so I have 0 trust in telkom never want to get stuck in a telkom contract ever again.)
- Bitco


Just wanna know which isp is better out of these, I've never heard of any of them.

On which list, and what does the list signify?
Most ISPs support fibre on OpenServe.

Fibrestream you can find articles on here where Vumatel just ditched them because they couldn't pay their bills (https://mybroadband.co.za/news/fibr...without-internet-as-vumatel-cuts-off-isp.html)

Wondernet is Seacom so enjoy having their peering policy... (Their website says i have Frogfoot internet )

Telkom is well like flipping a coin 50/50 whether things work out...

I'd go Bitco if i HAD to choose from that list.

yes but most of them dont give 50 mb down, 25 up for R699

Could be why no one is recommending any of them...

Openserve and Afrihost or CISP, the only real options you should consider.

Openserve's website is giving wrong (sometimes) up- and download speeds.
Vox is shown as 25Mb down and 50Mb up:


And just the next row, it is displayed correctly:


Many other examples where it is just wrong.
Either a system issue, or if added manually, somebody that don't understand how it should be.
