    Hi everybody :) Afrihost has been terrible in the evenings and I am on a 20 Mbps Premium Uncapped account. The service is completely unusable in the evenings. Which DSL ISP have you found to be reliable and consistent for someone who clocks in around 600 - 800 GB a month? I don't mind...

    What is the best DSL setup I can get on a budget of R1,120 per month?

    What is the difference between Axxess and Afrihost?

    Are their uncapped premium DSL accounts identical? I am asking this because when I was looking for a provider I noticed their offerings are strikingly similar.

    To T or not to T

    Okay, so I have a 10mbps line with Telkom and 100gb softcap product. No major issues with the line in general, and very rarely have to phone for help. Wonderful! And unusual. In the meanwhile I've gotten Netflix and at 1080p, between myself and my cousin, we are easily hitting cap every month...

    Recommend an alternative to Telkom ISP for my ADSL connection

    For several years now I have used Telkom ISP for my data needs. My local exchange (Swellendam, WC) only offers a "up to 4 Mbps" ADSL connection, which is "soft-capped" at 20GB. Telkom responded to one question I had (i.e. when will they upgrade our local exchange to allow >4Mpbs connection)...
