Plugg is IS right?

How's the bandwidth quality? Skype / Youtube etc? Any idea how they limit the account (i.e. are you capped at 40GB)? I'm looking for roughly 100GB on the uncapped account without being throttled.

No idea, yes its IS im moving to them the end of the month.
 
Yeah Plugg is IS consumer devision, so we buying from IS themselves. Latency is very low and downloads are going really great.
It's basically like it was with Afrihost before the MTN move. I never had problems and with Plugg I'm sure also won't have any problems.
Yeah it also has 2 concurrent connections. :D

What is the latency from CPT, any test account to give it a whirl - need gamer latency right down

4 Mb line

Was getting full speed on NNTP earlier tonight.
 
I still can't game. I'm looking at moving over to Plugg too. Afrihost took over my line from telkom (took the 1MB uncapped bundle from Afrihost), so how much effort do you guys reckon shifting over is going to be?
 
thought Friday night was a time for relaxing but alas I want to throw my 27" across the room... luckily its bolted to the wall....
now i am gonna have to spend time in front of the TV and communicate with the family.... :wtf: :whistle:

Should be no hassle at all. In client zone when you cancel your bundle there will be an option to either cancel your line or to have it moved back to telkom. I may also do it soon, things cant go on like this, BF3 is again unplayable tonight.
