@MWEB Guy, I am trailing an Axxess uncapped account and it has been pretty decent (same as my Afrihost Capped Account). But all over everyone is talking about MWEB being the best for uncapped. I am considering going over to MWEB (line as well) but your billing/accounts department is infamously tedious so was a bit hesitant about what would happen if it doesn't suit my needs. Would it be possible to also trail the account for 7 days? I'm on a 1mb line? WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!

So far the Openweb Lite uncapped look the best...
Just need to check if they are via IS. Work is also at IS so think that will help for a little better VPN experience.
The Lite uncapped is unshaped but got a fair usage policy but im still waiting for details on that.

Ok, between the following:
Open web gold (Special at R250)
Openweb Lite 1Mbps (Unshaped, fair use amount if you are within top 20% users)
Axxess 1Mbps (Unshaped, fair use amount if you are within top 20% users)
Werfie, a guy at Mweb phoned me and he can give me a 5 days cool of period but he does not know about a trail.

See... that's the problem with big companies in general. They often have absolutely fantastic products, but other than that, everything is so marred with red tape and inconsistencies that it becomes a nightmare to deal with them. Experience tells me that even making use of a 5 day cooling off period would require heaps of forms, inevitable slips through the cracks and maybe even a rouge debit order which will take days if not weeks or months to refund all while shortening your life with a year for every second you speak to "a representative" with only induction training experience and no authority what-so-ever. Such a pity.
You should have insisted on a 7 day trial. That's what I did as I was halfway through another account (middle of the month). The guy said "oh, ok."

Out of those OW Gold is the one you should go for. BUT, you have the trial accounts, give it a shot and pick whichever ISP works best for you.
Enjoy
Just say mweb guy said to ask for one ^^ that's how the rest of us got the trial.

Mweb is by far the best. They don't throttle, but use a smart shaping system where if the network can handle it, they let you go crazy. Since their network is really good, that is usually always the case.
On the other hand there is axxess, but they are a bunch of liars. They say it runs full speed after hours etc etc but it wont, and you will get throttled after about 30gb of hard use (and im talking, useless slow internet).
