Haha, how CISP has fallen. Thanks for this though, might be looking at any of those 3 top ones...at least until they turn into the next CISP.

I will give an update as soon as I place my order for fibre with the above mention company had a chat with them earlier today hopefully all goes smooth
 
Placed my order with them last decade. Still waiting.

To be fair SADV was closed for the festive period.
 
Order placed few minutes ago , as stated most ISP have a frozen period till 17th Jan for new installations I was advised before signing up just received an email 2 minutes ago with a ref number that Openserve will be incontact with me lets see what transpires
 
Update :

Open serve called me at 1:40pm and asked which day would suit me for their tech team to come install ONT etc :)
 
Moremi contractors came about 2 hours ago to install Ont box and sort cables line activated tomorrow my pre config router will be sent email was sent to me earlier

Now I have a worry because ONT/etc could only be done downstairs how on earth do I connect the router to my pc will is upstairs +- 15/17 meters away ?
 
Do you know if its trenched or aerial you're hooking up into? I'm on Vuma Aerial here (not that I have much of a choice in the matter) and its surprisingly good for the little faith I have in wireless internet connections

I have no idea the contractors showed me that 5 other units in my complex have fibre , the box where all lines are connected is less then 22 fooststeps from my door
 
Update Router received an hour ago via TCG, ok connected via wifi and ran a speed net test to the router and not very good but I understand why exactly the support agents are very friendly and helpfull indeed :)

Haha seems our forum chooses guess lingerie ads instead of classy stuff for me , ok having a weird issue net stays connected for like 3 mins and then auto disconnects yet my phone is still connected :( anyone know the reason ?

Also when i am downstairs my speed testing results are much better 9.47mb dload and 4mb upload so the only solid solution is a 20m LAN cable connection :(
 
My lines finally in. Going to test tonight and let you guys know. Got a 10 meg line.

You could try using an older modem as a repeater for the time being. Worked for me getting the same speed with the repeater and the main router is about 20+meters away.

Do you think aerial means wireless?
 
Ok attached the antennae from my mobo box and voila no disconnection upstairs past 20 mins also ran another speed test will still get a 20m Lan cable for future and then upgrade to a 100 meg line within time :)

When customer service is dead in today's times very refreshing to notice how a companies attention to their clientele is shown

Their really good, the cheapest I found on the market so far for a 10mb line. I do use my own router for the line (a MikroTik one, quite advanced guys). As for line speed and service, its just brilliant
 
Please any updates on how Mind the speed is working for you? There are large hikes in the Axxess prices on the horizon (my package will be 14% more expensive) so I am looking to change and Mind the speed has been getting some good ratings.
