    im on the Afrihost 15gb capped power plan and gaming on the PS3 is quite good. playing locally is excellent and international is also quite good with very few lags. can't remember what pings i get, will get back to you on that.

    Get the 4-10/mbps line and sign up with MWeb. I have my 360 and PS3 both hooked up and playing local is always fine, international could be better, but I am sure it is the best this country can offer you.

    Don't get mweb. Mweb capped is VERY expensive and Mweb uncapped is bad for gaming.

    Any IS based ISP will be fine for you, they're semi shaped and get about 250-300ms ping to Europe.

    There's also the Webafrica titan special, but you need to have your line with them for that. Webafrica has good pings to EU, on my unshaped trial account I got 180ms.

    We have pretty good feedback for gaming on our accounts. I have a PS3 running and get pretty decent online gaming, depends on the game. Maybe consider the Afrigamer package, designed for gaming.

    Use this link, and you'll get 50% of your first month's pro-rata, and 50% of the next month's full fee.

    If AfriMan says it, it is so!
