Hey All!

I have been a Vodafone customer for years now but I'm looking at putting the 10G network at home to good use and upgrading to hyperfiber however for a job i trade futures which requires a good connection to the CME group servers located in Chicago. I just wanted to ask if some Orcon and MyRepublic customers could please give me some pings and speed tests just so I could make sure I'm not downgrading in terms of international connection pretty please? :)

The two IP addresses for pings are:

4.15.85.194

208.48.16.140

And for speedtest could you use "tzulo, inc" in Chicago, IL on speedtest.net

If some people on Orcon/MyRepublic could do this for me I would be super appreciative :)

Why MR ? They appear "cheap" for a reason...... just scan the forums.

i assumed they had improved since last i checked :/ guess not? Hyperfiber providers list is quite short Orcon and MyRepublic being the only two I personally knew of so thought I would start there for tests and see which one came out on top

Note I just changed to Cloudflare DNS from Google yesterday to have one that (says it) blocks malware and adult sites, don't know if that affects anything.

Ping tests

This is on an Orcon 1Gb connection but testing on my Wi-Fi and down the end of the house so not an ideal test for speed.

you wont need the bandwidth of hyperfibre for futures trading, what you want is a reliable internet connection. hyperfibre wont perform and better than a gigabit connection for your use case.

Focus on business connectivity which will give you quicker resolution on issues to get you back and running as fast as possible, some providers like Orcon also provide 4g failover on their business plans to keep your down time to an absolute minimum.

Yeah Hyperfibre is pretty much overkill for 97% of consumers out there unless you are doing a LOT of large transfers or running an ISP off it :D

But hey, if youve got the money to burn, go for it ;)
