Why not sign up for the 3 month free 1Mbps Uncapped offer from Telkom and then move on to another ISP?
 
The http://www.openweb.co.za/ summer deal is quite decent. I can get 105kb/sec on HTTP and have not been shaped so far - I do about 50GB a month average AFAIK. Only thing is Youtube performance can be iffiy (often have to buffer 360p for a moment).

I guess it comes down to wether the niggles are worth saving R110 a month on. This deal is R260 as opposed to R370 Telkom uncapped. Ultimately the Telkom package will give better speed overall, but throughout the day you get throttled 474kb until 10PM

Incorrect.

Note that I'm advising the OP to get the 3 month free deal...

He cant gte it as he already has a line. the deal only applies for people who have not had an adlsl account in the last year or so.

I openweb uncapped. Pull down 200 Gb each month. shaped during day and full line speed at nite.

Hi, can you please elaborate on this deal further? I've heard about but never really taken the time to look into it. Currently we're sitting with Iburst and have never had an active adsl line, trying to convince my dad to move had been a biatch cause he seems too lazy to want to try and change the @iburst email that he cleverly uses for work purposes. *facepalm

See here:

First 3 months you only pay for the POTS line rental. In the 3rd month you need to make your decision to continue or opt out. Then you select your ISP and also start paying for the ADSL rental (from month 4).

You can get 60Gb per month on an uncapped 384 account... never mind a 1Mbps uncapped account.
