I am currently on Afrihost Business Uncapped Bundle: 4Mbps, paying R797 pm, and about R190 pm to Telkom.
I use 100 GB pm, so I am wondering if a capped bundle would work better for me.
My line supports 20Mbps, according to the test.

There is a bundle for R 675 pm, for 150 GB, and up to 20 Mbps.
Will this work out cheaper than the uncapped? Would I still pay Telkom R190, total being R675 + R190 = R 865 pm?
And can this be topped up?
 
Yes top ups exist. As well as mid month pro rata package upgrades. Capped data is also unshaped which can be beneficial for certain uses.
 
Take a capped account with Afrihost plus+

You get double data and 2 for 1 top ups. Best value for money by far. No other isp can come close....

I'm confused. What does Afrihost plus really mean?

I have been using the 4Mbps business line for over 2 years now, because I don't like shaping or throttling.
How does the plus work? I need 20Mbps, with 150-300GB data, with no shaping/throttling/<insert other term here>.

Ok cool here is what you are looking for:

4Mbps line with a 150GB capped unshaped account is R548 with Afrihost.

Just add R99 extra per month to the R548 and you will get 300GB data, 2 for 1 top ups, 500mb mobile data on existing sim or new simcard and a simfy account.

Afrihost plus+ is a value add on that works so well with capped adsl data and mobile data. Gives you so much more value for just R99 extra.

I suggest you take like a lower cappeed package with plus+ add on instead of buying a high capped account with no plus+ add on.

Thanks for the reply.

The reason I opted for the 20Mbps package, is because the speed will greatly benefit me for work. (Their site says my line supports it)

Can one choose another bundle size for 20Mbps?

EDIT:
Also what does the zero rated really mean?
Can you get uncapped at your line speed between midnight and 6am?

Yes you can.

So the 20Mbps option would work like this then.

R675 will get you the 20Mbps line with 150GB data. Just add R99 and you get another 150GB data and the other stuff like 500mb mobile data and 2 for 1 top ups and simfy account.

Yes the capped accounts are uncapped data from 00:00 to 6am.

So R774 for 300GB anytime unshaped data with uncapped between 00:00 and 6am and 500mb mobile data with simfy and 2 for 1 topups. I don't think you will be able to get a better deal than that.

Follow that link and see what you can get for the 20Mbps option. Remember you need to add R99 for Afrihost plus+ to get the double data.
