We are delighted to be involved with Stellendale Village, rolling out Fibre across the estate. Pricing as from 9 January 2017:
We are now offering you the choice between Uncapped and Capped Internet. Our uncapped services come in a choice of speeds up to 100mbps.
To get started with your order, please enter your name and email address and click on the Start Order Button
A. You can follow these steps to place your order:
A. You can email our support team on support(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)ipcomms.co.za with your request and we will process it from there. Please note that downgrade will only take effect from the start of the next month; Upgrades will take effect immediately.
A. We have been working hard to make internet affordable for everyone in the estate and happy to announce our Internet Starter packages. These packages are designed to minimise the monthly cost without sacrificing Internet speeds and quality of the connection. These packages are available in a 10GB and 20GB option at R149 and R199 per month respectively and has a R495 installation cost. (The rest of our internet packages are still available with free installation). If you downgrade from one of our normal packages to one of our starter packages within 3 months of installation then the installation fee will also apply
A. Good news! We are still able to offer our Internet packages with No Installation fees and No Contracts! (with the exception of our Internet Starter Package)
Free installation is subject to routine (the pipes we run our fibre in) being in place and in good order. If this is not in place or faulty we will advise of the costs before proceeding with any installation.
A. Yes! Silvermine, Newlands and Bishopscourt is fully covered and installations are normally next day. Alphen Road and the flats are also covered with Fibre, but lead times are a bit longer (1-2 weeks).
A. We are currently offering speeds up to 100Mbps.
It is important to understand that these connections are contented (see the question below on contention) which means that you could see slower speeds during busy periods on the uncapped packages.
These speeds are also asynchronous, meaning that the upload and download speeds differ:
2Mbps – 2Mbps download, 2Mbps upload
4Mbps – 4Mbps download, 2Mbps upload
10Mbps – 10Mbps download, 2Mbps upload
20Mbps – 20Mbps download, 2Mbps upload
50Mbps – 50Mbps download, 5Mbps upload
100Mbps – 100Mbps download, 10Mbps upload
We also have premium packages available which are synchronous (i.e. same upload and download speeds) if you need a package with higher upload speeds.
Our target contention varies slightly on the connection speed, but overall we work on 20:1 as a maximum. Our current (Jan 2017) actual contention rates are 3:1 at night and over weekends and 6:1 during the day. The contention varies because of the way we allocate and distribute bandwidth to Stellendale.
A. We have a fair use policy on our uncapped products which are:
100GB on 2Mbps service
200GB on 4Mbps service
500GB on 10Mbps service
1,000GB on 20Mbps service
2,500GB on 50Mbps service
5,000GB on 100Mbps service
If you exceed the fair use policy then your line speed will be halved for the remainder of the month (i.e 10Mbps service will drop to 5Mbps). You will, however, not be billed for additional bandwidth use.
A. We will actively be managing the network to ensure all users have the best possible experience, but where excessive users are negatively affecting the network we will implement a mix of traffic shaping and throttling to reduce the impact on the network.
A. On our uncapped packages we shape traffic to prioritise gaming and streaming from legitimate on demand streaming services (Youtube, Facebook, Netflix, Showmax, etc). The goal is to ensure realtime services respond quickly so customers have a good Internet experience.
Our capped packages are not shaped.
A. The router remains our property. If you cancel your service we will arrange for it to be collected. If you purchased a handset, this will be yours to keep.
A. You will be on a monthly rolling contract, so you only need to give us 30 days notice if you wish to cancel your contract.
A. The router remains our property. If you cancel your service we will arrange for it to be collected. If you purchased a handset, this will be yours to keep.
