    Things has surely changed over the past few years...remember the days when you paid R500+ for a 192kbps line with 2gb cap?

    Geez... I was too young to remember those slow speeds but I can imagine how slow 192kbps mush have been, getting a headache just thinking a about it.

    192Kbps is fast... compared to the 14.4Kbps my dad had back in the day.

    I still remember going from 56k dial-up to ADSL 512Kbps, it was like WTF this is too fast man. Now 10Mbps is starting to feel slow.

    How about an article on "Best Quality" uncapped accounts?

    Or "Best AUP"?

    Go Cybersmart. I am on their uncapped package and the service is just fine. On the home package the user will be slightly restricted if doing excessive multi-files and multi-connection downloads at once for an extended period, but this restriction is reduced if you refrain from excessive downloading over a couple of days, which in my opinion is fair. But i must make mention that i have also chosen to go the business ADSL route on a 1MB business ADSL package from Cybersmart, and I am getting maximum speeds ALL the time no matter what i do or when. At just R499 including my line and uncapped subscription. i was not able to find a better option anywhere.
    What's on my mind....I try not to think about it.

    Also include the compulsory Telkom tax. I would like to see the total cost.

    But if it's compulsory for all there's no need to add it. You already know what it is.

    a table comparing 1mb would be much better ...
    as I am currently in the market for 1 of those accounts, having cancelled my mweb account last month

    There are also “surf only” uncapped ADSL accounts available from ISPs such as Openweb and Axxess for below R100 per month, but these accounts do not allow for large downloads during normal hours.
    These accounts do not allow for large downloads at all!

    Speaking purely as an end user I still find myself amazed by how little we're paying for something we thought we would never have in South Africa a few years ago

    I must agree with one of the earlier comments when it comes to these roundups:

    If you are going to compare pricing make sure it's apples with apples, because a product with a relaxed AUP and no throttling mechanism is probably going to cost you a little more
