Many South African gamers are looking for the fastest broadband connection available to them which offers low latency and affordable bandwidth.<\/p>\n
Cybersmart\u2019s Lightspeed fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) service is a strong contender for the best broadband service available to gamers in South Africa.<\/p>\n
The service offers speeds of up to 400Mbps, and subscribers can split their 400Mbps bandwidth as they wish \u2013 in real time.<\/p>\n
For example, a user can start with a 200Mbps download\/200Mbps upload configuration, and change it to a 300Mbps download\/100Mbps upload setting when desired.<\/p>\n
Setting either the download or upload speed to the maximum 400Mbps will result in the other stream being limited to 10Mbps (for example: 400Mbps download\/10Mbps upload).<\/p>\n
Users can also schedule the speed change to occur at a particular time. This is a useful feature, as the Lightspeed products include additional nighttime data which can be used for game updates and other large downloads.<\/p>\n
Cybersmart CEO Laurie Fialkov told MyBroadband that latency on the service is under 2ms to a gaming server in Cape Town, and sub-150ms for international gaming.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is also no exchange contention on our fibre products, which eliminate this potential bandwidth bottleneck,\u201d Fialkov said.<\/p>\n
The service comes in two variations: 400Mbps FTTH with 20GB daytime data and 100GB nighttime data for R599, and 400Mbps FTTH with 200GB daytime data and 1,000GB nighttime data for R899.<\/p>\n
