Your thoughts on MetroFibre?

I'm already on the month 2 month 20 Mbps package, so makes no difference to me.

My only question is as I already have an ont, why do they need to send me another one.

The new one is probably made to manage "pre-paid" connectivity where as the one you have doesn't have that feature.

Probably the best FNO out there.

They don't go down. It really needs to major for them to go down. All their nodes have backup batteries so they don't go down when power goes off.

Multiple mpls paths so they need to lose quite a bit of nlds before things go bad and even then it's usually just degraded not down.

I would say almost if not better uptime than Openserve.

Only issue might be in KZN and EC where some rollouts have limited backhaul redundancies.

The only time I've had an issue with the physical line was when some okes crashed his car into the distribution box for our area.
They were there replacing the box and resplicing by the end of the day.

It was up and running in 24 hours.

Using Metrofibre as ISP and no real issues until they upgraded my line to a 1gig line with a Beacon 2 router. My current Mesh system is not compatible with the Beacon 2 router and I asked them if I can buy 2 additional Beacon 2’s to create mesh wifi. Was told they are still developing this? No time lines.
