Due to the release of the new Karoo RapidTime Stream500 service, which performs much better than the old Karoo RapidTime Standard/Pro services, the KUG has now stopped monitoring the downstream speed, and publishing the results, on a monthly basis.
The KUG feels that the new Karoo RapidTime Stream500 service delivers downstream speed comparable to (if not better than) that offered by ISPs using BT Wholesale. Therefore, it is no longer necessary for the KUG to highlight any differences to KC.
