Mweb is definitely better than afrihost in the uncapped department, but openweb gold is better than both with regards to downloads and customer satisfaction... If you're a gamer, and in cape town, then mweb will be better than both as IS STILL doesn't peer in cpt, so all traffic is routed through jhb irrespective of where it originated.

I personally prefer mweb's fup as to afrihost's... I understand shaping but hate throttling :/

If this is the type of service you get from Mweb, why the hell did i go with AF-rihost in the first place!?

I did about 120GB last month and I don't download 24/7 I go several days at a time with downloading. It's mostly streaming video, the SWOR Beta and steam games.

Is there anybody with recent experience with afrihost 4 meg product? I'm currently on mweb 2 meg and I'm thinking
about moving to afrihost as mwebs pricing for the 2m is shocking. I don't download a lot,about 50gigs a month at most,
Need info on afrihosts torrent speeds for 4m as well as YouTube speeds.
Thanks.

Mweb all they way, YouTube has never buffered for me on a 4meg line, 500GB seems to be the threshold on Mweb 4meg accounts, stay under 500GB and Mweb will play nice...
ok thanks- anyone else with an Afrihost experience?
I've been on Afrihost for the last two months. Apart from them (or IS) not having enough capacity at the start of last month I don't have any complaints.
I can't comment on the shaping / rolling windows as I've yet to hit them. I'm sitting on about 50 gigs this month (4Mbps). According to what I've read you can go up to ~200GB without any real problems.
