Hi guys
I have a question about the telkom and afrihost 20 gig capped packages.
Telkom is R4 cheaper and it seems to offer pretty much then same thing as Afrihost with up to 10meg
Speeds with a 20 gig cap. I'm currently with cybersmart but am wanting to change ISPs since I'm moving into my new home and can't take my line with.

So which would you choose?
Afrihost at R698
Or telkom at R 694
Both from what I can tell are 20 gig accounts upto 10 meg lines

Or should I go uncapped? I don't really want to to spend more than R700 a month and it all very confusing.
Any any advice would be soooo greatly appreciated. I'd most use the new account for Xbox live and some downloading

Many thanks in advance

Do3 is R554 a month for 20 gigs and dsl rental or are you also adding the line rental
 
It's the Do Premium package so I think it's all inclusive. R694 with line rental and adsl circuit
I know mweb offer a 15 gig capped shaped 4 meg line at R549 anybody know if that's good?

Don't forget to add the line rental to the Mweb price.

Telkom is unshaped also as far as I seen with my Do3 account so its better than the 15 gig shaped mweb account

If you game Telkom gives quite nice latency on international games and so does Afrihost, the only difference is that Afrihost goes down when seacom breaks yet Telkom will go strong unless saix goes weird.

Not sure if they still have the free Afrihost 1 gig accounts but suggest you get one, since I use it on odd occassion when Telkom bugs out which is very rare and you can use it for 2 for 1 top up special for R29.

Its handy to have if you choose Telkom
 
no ways is telkom unshaped... they even restrict some newshost sites from even authenticating. but saying that telkom is way cheaper on the 20gb .. works out to be about R145 with the DO discount.
And as from running gaming servers from home.. well Telkom/Web Africa just sux.. Afrihost is the only one that can handle the heat.
