\o/ YAY! \o/
After some years of suffering pretty bad internet experiences (like you all) I must now, for the first time ever, post something positive in this forum.
1) Telkom
They managed to bump up my local exchange to 10 MB (realistic 8 MB) without any problems. When I came back from vacation I just fired up my router and, voila!, it synced at once.
Well done, Telkom.
2) Afrihost
Before I went away I cancelled my uncapped account with them. As we all know those uncapped accounts are crap. Now, after my return, I went for their Gold Package (25+25) instead and I have to admit so far it is truly unshaped! My internet is flying! For the users who prefer a good stable and speedy connection over downloading ridiculous amounts of data this is the perfect account. And with R 475 also the cheapest afaik. Particularly now, that they give us 25 on top of the regular 25 it's only R 9.50/gig.
A very good product, Afrihost.
OK, just needed to tell you about it. It might sound like some kind of promotion or something but I'm really impressed and a very happy little internet user. Downloads are swooshing and are finished before I can even finish 2 rounds of Solitaire. And watching videos without any buffering at all really soothes my poor nerves. This is kinda the internet as it was intended and is enjoyed in most other countries. Did I mention already how happy I am?
