Thread: Which ISP should i chose?

  1. #1

    Default Which ISP should i chose?

    Ok so i want to get uncapped adsl for my home but i am not sure which ISP to go for. I'm currently deciding between Openweb, Afrihost or Web Africa. I am gonna get the 4meg uncapped adsl package. I wanna download plently of stuff without worrying about cap and use it for xbox live. Wanna know which one i should chose for best constant speeds and best value. I dont wanna regret my decsion 2 months down the line with crappy service and poor performance. Any advice will be great based on personal exp. Thanks guys.

    Pick one and try it. If you don't like it, switch a month later.

    My vote would be afrihost.

    My money has been with MWeb since they launched their uncapped offerings, excellent service in my opinion.

    I have heard that Afrihost have made improvements to their uncapped products.

    i have read through these forums and i still dont know which one lol. When i think i have my mind made up then i see bad posts about it and think otherwise. It's such a 50/50. None of the ISP seem to be perfect or better than the other :/

    I am going to go with Afrihost first and hope for the best. After about 13 hours of reading so many dam forums, checking packages and arguing with myself i am just gonna go in alphabetical order and start with afrihost I will get this done on this coming Friday and let you people know how they are and hopefully help some other poor sap that is just as lost as i am

    If you want to download lots of stuff with worrying get Openweb GOLD.

    This. OW Gold is the best uncapped, shaped service out there.

    We use axxess.co.za... One of my clients was on Telkom but emails wouldn't work periodically, it was expensive, etc, etc, so we went with axxess adsl uncapped.

    Its a semi shaped (I think that's what they call it), and according to their support it means its not shaped unless you reach the top 20 percent of their downloaders for the month. We never do so its essentially uncapped.

    We'd love to influence you to go with us, but of course you will need to decide what works best for you. What I can offer is a link I've posted in the discussion thread about our new uncapped accounts that will allow you (or anyone else interested in trialling this account) 50% of your first month's sign-up fee. If you're not convinced, you can still cancel before the 25th without paying the full month's fee.

    If you're keen (or curious), click here: http://go.afrihost.com/afrihost-uncapped-awesomeness

    Hope this helps
    If AfriMan says it, it is so!
