I went Chiefs, if I remember correctly….

Soooo much has happened in the last 2 months… in early December I finally got my massive Fibre connection here, a whapping 200Mbps Download / 200 Mbps Upload Uncapped and Unshaped line…

January has been a monster of a month, been busier than 3 months of 2019 combined…

In the last 10 days I’ve been so frustrated, with the Undersea Submarine Fibre cables around South Africa’s West Coast in disrepair in 3 places along the African Coast… and international internet speeds in South Africa slowing to a crawl as a result…

ETA for full repairs is only 8 Feb…

Grrrrr
