Afrihost for Internet Cafe & Billing Software

[jivan]

Is Afrihost bandwidth ok for 50 computer Internet Cafe?

Is Afrihost R29/GB Bandwidth good enough for a 50 machine internet cafe.. or even 2 times 25 if divided between two connections.

If not then which is best?

Well afrihost will be ok, it depends more on the line you have. I wouldn't like to visit your internet cafe if you're on a 384 line and have to share it with 50 others

Get 4 meg uncapped.

You can use afrihost no problem. But 4mbit lines have to be shared by 20 pc's at the most. 50 concurrent pc using the internet is like pushing a potato through a straw.

It's will be a 4 mb line. How does Afrihost R29 compare with WA R49 Bandwidth

 

[jivan]

4mb uncapped... Does a true uncapped exist without the threshold. If so, what is the cost?

 

[stormwalkerza]

2400 + depending on specials or company.

Some have install fees, contracts etc

 

[jivan]

Any recommendations? I see OpenWeb has Vodacom uncapped for R2650.

@Jivan

The Openweb Vodacom solution is very good - i'm very happy with mine.

make sure you have a proxy in place that allows you to control what goes in and out

have a look at clarkconnect

I had an internet cafe running on a 512 connection and with 20 computers. 95% of the people read email, news etc. I never had speed problems even when all workstations was busy. I used cafezee to manage all the billling etc. Use a router with QOS.
