Hi all

Just need to know something, and that is around adsl packages.

Needs: purely just to stream, no gaming or downloading. I'll do a bit of browsing,emails and so on.

I currently don't have an adsl line, so looking at the whole package of line installation and uncapped data package. I really don't want to spend a lot on this, as most of the movies and series I get off a friend in any case. However, there are times I might want to stream a few older series etc, or stream a sporting event.

So in a nutshell, based on my needs any suggestions on a basic uncapped adsl line?

Thanks
 
Any idea how much data you may end up going through per month?

If you want uncapped Crystal Web seem good, for capped I am very happy with WebAfrica and Vox.
 
I'm not sure what the data will be like for my needs, and that's the problem. I could do a 100GB, or I could do less. That's why I would rather go uncapped somehow even if they will throttle me should I ever exceed my data etc
 
Well depending on how much data you use, it may be cheaper and easier to get a capped account as you will seldom have issues with capped accounts being throttled or shaped and generally stream pretty well - I am using WA and Vox and both are fantastic with streaming as well as online gaming. As for their uncapped accounts I am not too sure.

I have only heard good things about Crystal Web's uncapped accounts, if I wanted uncapped I would move across to Crystal Web. Perhaps get the line through Telkom and experiment with a few ISP's at first - see what suits your needs better (capped vs uncapped) and which ISP you are happiest with.
Then if you still really want to, move your line across to that ISP.
