After Telkom 4gigs Which provider ?

[Galdrielle]

Hi guys,

I will order the 4gigs Unshapped stuff from Telkom ... 520 rands a month
On their Website, they say that I need to choose a provider ...

My question is, What Do i Have with that f***ng 520 rands package ?

I think you're confusing the line speed (4mbit line) with a data provider. The (roughly) r520 quoted is for the line and connectivity.

If you want to actually use the internet you'll need to either use telkom internet or a third party like Web Africa, Open Web, etc. Check out their websites for pricing.

Thanks a lot, What do you recommend ?

Depends on what you want to do - I've got several accounts including a 3gb account from telkom, a 3/30 from openweb and a few pay as you go 1gb accounts from Web Africa so I can recommend them all.

I want to raid with 25 of my pals, making good heals in the Black Temple using my add ons, without being disconnected after 3 heals !

Using a Webafrica 1gb unshaped prepaid for my 25 man raids. Atleast I have no problems with 25 man raids. 400-600 ping but it is atleast constant with no lag spikes or packet losses.

I use one of my prepaid 1gb accounts for situations like this - it's unshaped so it costs a little more but it helps with gaming and voip. Of course you only need to recharge it when it runs out and not necessarily at the beginning of each month.
