So I've been with Webafrica on Octotel for a while (Vredehoek area), and today was just the last straw. My download speeds are so inconsistent, with all my devices losing connection at least a few times a night. Not much better during the day either, my wife constantly has to use her mobile as a hotspot for zoom/ms teams/skype calls.

Currently on a 10/5 connection, but I'm looking to upgrade to 20/5. Problem is that WA only offers a 20/2 connection at R750 per month, and I understand that 5MBps upload is preferred for video calls. Want to give WA a call tomorrow to give my one month's notice, but which ISP would you guys suggest I go with instead? Not looking to spend much for than R700 (would wanna cap it at that if possible), and I don't really need a router, but I'll take a free one as a backup in case my own one dies.

Octotel gives me the following options

That's about as much as I'd want to spend. Oh and also, no 24 month contracts, only month to month.
 
Cool Ideas or Home Connect.

I know that Octotel have had congestion issues in the city bowl so it could be a last mile problem in which case any ISP will be affected.
