  1. Is open access not a thing in the US and Canada? In Cape Town we have multiple open access networks. Normally 1 per sub area, sometimes more. Vumatel, Octotel, Openserve, Frogfoot, Lightspeed etc. All of which are open access. 30+ ISPs on some of them. Cell networks are a different story though. We have 4 major ones, and there's a data only one. Each of their mobile networks are also rolling out their own fibre networks. A lot of competition. The main problem in SA is the mobile data price. On Vodacom, 1gb prepaid is about $10 us and some change. We still have analogue tv available and that spectrum is needed for other things
  2. Where I live, there is a fibre provider that does not use any cpe, just bring an sfp connection into the premesis. they sell sfp routers but you can provide your own (theirs are some cheap chinese brand. Choices are primarily Mikrotik and Ubiquiti if going with your own. We use primarily Ubiquiti and Mikrotik Gear
  3. I prefer ROS for the Router part, but prefer Uniquitis APs. We use this combination a lot. Sometimes Mikrotik RB3011 + 4 -8 Ubiquiti AC Lites depending on house size. Mikrotik RB750Gr3 for up to 200/200, and RB3011 for above. I prefer the GUI for the Mikrotiks, but I prefer Ubiquiti APs. We use a lot of Mikrotik Products, all the way up to 72 core Cloud Core Routers
  4. Mikrotik Router + multiple Ubiquiti AC Lites with cabled connections to router. Simple and very effective
  5. I must say I haven't really experienced any major problems with iOS 11. Running 11.2 on a 7 plus. Working great. As a long term android user I am enjoying it and don't regret missing it or the fragmented ecosystem at all. Sure there are a few things I would like, like WiFi Analyzer, but on the whole it has been a pleasant experience
  6. Imo this is not much of an upgrade, a heavily overclocked will be pretty close. Rather save a bit more and go for a 1080ti if you want an actual "upgrade"
  7. Your best bet is to buy a piece of perspex and make a new one yourself
  8. Sound like you broke or cracked your side panel window?
  9. Unless it's a high end case you are unlikely to be able to purchase a new one separately. It looks like a raidmax-level case
  10. Go for Ryzen 7 1700, can always get an aftermarket cooler at a later stage
  11. there are 2 variants depending on which ryzen 5 you buy, The one for the 6 core ryzen 5 is a bit bigger. I have the one listed in my sig (4 core, smaller cooler). It's generally better than an Intel stock cooler, and actually screws in. In my opinion rather get a decent aftermarket cooler and aim for 4Ghz
  12. does th This, also, does your card have a PCI-E power connector?
  13. I find builds like this interesting. Unfortunately the used market where I come from is full of scalpers, who have unrealistic expectations about what their stuff is worth...
