Lurch the stalker Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 still more than double my current speed which allows streaming at 480p no problem..so I cant see why I would need anything more than 10Mb That's what you say now...Slightly different, but same principle. Back in the day when I got my first 1GB hard drive, I was like, "I'll never fill this thing", now I walk around with a 256GB memory stick (not to mention my other storage) and complain about lack of space... nonky and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2

Lol.. You right I think the main thing is getting away from ADSL which is so over subscribed that tonight I am battling to stream anything tonight Lurch the stalker 1
Grebel Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 If they could sort out the latency on wireless it would be a winner. Even as "low" as 15Mbs download I am happy but at 250ms ping my gaming son is pulling his hair out.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 signed up for 10Mb Uncapped solution from ISP afrika - includes free install and router my gaelic blood couldn't spend the extras 300 bucks for the 20mb uncapped option - 10Mb is still more than double my current speed which allows streaming at 480p no problem..so I cant see why I would need anything more than 10Mb edit: gonna can my telkom and get gprs transmitter for my alarm and buy some skype credit for any phonecalls that need to happen 4.5 US cents per minute8.9 US cents per minute to mobile no... and thats cheaper than vodacomooooh eh eh... Once you experience streaming in FHD (which happens rarely on a 4mbps line) you won't want ANYTHING else. nonky 1

kosmonooit Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) I have 10 Mbps ADSL Web A Uncapped, its adequate, often watching at least two streams. I don't have a Fibre option. Also remember that rated speed is the local loop, the provisioning upstream by the ISP is not always done adequately. When they (typically the Fibre ISP's) do a speedtest to impress you it will be to their local server, so you will get the full local loop speed, but there may be bottle necks upstream. They don't make any commitments in this regard unless you get a 'business' grade service Edited August 12, 2016 by kosmonooit
