ADSL ISP suggestions and package options

Eish... this opens up a whole new train of thought....

They have a 1GB capped trial you can use to test.

You can start with uncapped and if it doesn't work for you upgrade.

there are other isp's that use other networks
MTN cybersmart Vox

mtn is not the best with int. streaming ,youtube works okeyish most of the time

dont know about cybersmart's network

vox fatpipe is good,but cost alot for there cap

but WA offers the best overall for the best overall price,thats just my option tho

WA use IS

also like chev said try the test account

as mentioned in my updated initial post...

no-one is mentioning any other Service Provider, everyone seems to be talking about WA... is it really that a clear decision?

As Sybertiger mentioned.

Axxess and Afrihost both use MTN. So not good for anything that needs international connectivity like streaming.

CrystalWeb uses Cybersmart, but their still working out the kinks.

VOX used to be good for capped, and offer rollover on your cap, but more expensive.

MWEB is ok as long as you stay under the throttling threshold. MWEB Standard 10Meg is 150GB, while 10Meg premium lets you download 950GBs.

So with your low usage MWEB standard could be an option.

But since you work from home I'd actually suggest capped.

Remember though you don't need to take the 200+400 option. The 120+240 is only R799 including Line rental.

I updated my initial post.

I will be going WA 10mb home uncapped, but also trial their capped account for comparison. i also have a 1 gb afrihost capped account (the free one) which i will also use for comparison.

If the capped account turns out to be WAAAAY better, then i will switch to WA 10mb Business Uncapped, and cough up a few extra rands

Thanks for all the help
