When I started with uncapped ADSL a while back, I chose 1Mpbs to keep costs down, and downloaded the internet every month (100-180GB per month). Then along came Afrihost with R699 for 4Mbps line + uncapped, and it was a small jump in price for 4 times the speed. We all know what happened when they switched to MTN...
Now I'm using Openweb 2Mbps uncapped Gold (on special for R360pm) on a 2Mbps, since I don't download that much, and 4Mbps uncapped Gold, even on special is just too much.
Here's the thing. In the last 4 months I have averaged 40GB/month, and I don't see it increasing much anytime soon. I want a fast line, so when I download the 2GB SQL Server 2012 Express doesn't take 3-4 hours. But, I don't want to pay for the privilege of being about to download several hundred GB per month, which I will never do again (anytime soon).
I'm thinking a large capped account on a 4Mbps line will work. But at R413 for the line, plus R400 for 50GB (Afrihost), I may as well stay on uncapped. Only thing on uncapped is, when I want something, I want it now, at full line speed, or thereabouts, not throttled/shaped to 50%.
What other options do I have?
