Hi guys

Just wanted your opinion on what would suit my needs. I am currently on Mweb 384kb of R219. Which package would suffice for streaming online stuff. would 384 unshape be enough or must it be 4meg line.

Thanks
:D
 
What are you planning on streaming ? If it's music or low res vid, then 384 should handle it. But anything more than that I suggest 4meg.

Depends at what quality you wanna stream. The Mweb 4meg is heavily shaped though. The openweb GOLD 4meg would be your best. Or a 512 unshaped.
 
All depends on the site. If it's not cached, you still going to buffer. OW4Meg is awesome. Stream 720p without a hiccup.

Personally I have not had any problems streaming video with an Mweb 4meg account.
 
if its video on youtube, 384 is not going to cut it.
 
ok, so i have made up my mind to go 4meg. cannot stand the bloody 384 speeds. paying R500 is not worth what i want. not able to stream anything. guess i will have to sacrifice uncapped and go for a unshaped capped account.
