Best Capped Offerings

[Trent242]

Can anyone advise where the best capped deal is at the moment? Where you get the most bandwidth for your buck?

I really liked the look of this Cybersmart deal (Supersize me):

Unfortunately you have to take your ADSL line through them as well.

Why do you want capped if you want to download?

What's your line speed?

What are you gonna do with the data?

I'd suggest Web Africa capped.

Why don't you want to move your line?

I'd suggest Web Africa capped.

+1 I've found Web Africa has very good all round accounts

Get yourself a test account from Web Africa, Afrihost and Axxess and then decide for yourself.

This is pretty much a spin-off on my other thread, regarding Openweb. But I went with Web Africa 2Mbps Uncapped today. Registering was easy, my account's live and I'm using it right now.

When you get sick of uncapped, check out Vox fat pipe.

I hope you like the uncapped. I'm guessing you went for home uncapped. I never recommend that account as the stars fall away quickly. See how it goes for a month and if it doesn't work out I recommend changing to the capped option - they are great accounts!

Most non-competitive pricing ever.

You get what you pay for, very true in this case.

Exactly my reasoning... the 2Mbps Home Uncapped is the same price as their 60+60Gb Capped solution. Because I was with Openweb, I have no usage figures, so I'm first testing with Uncapped, see how much I'm using per month so over 3 months.

As for Vox Fat Pipe... My first option was to take the 50Gb Fat Pipe with the Uncapped Bolt On. But when I phoned Vox's sales folks, they informed me that they don't allow it anymore. You need to take the Gig4gig option if you want the uncapped Bolt-On. I estimate my usage to be so 90 - 120 Gb per month, and that will work out just too pricy with Vox Fat Pipe.

Hi Trent242,

We are currently running a Double your Gigs Promo, where you get twice as much data for the same price. Visit https://www.axxess.co.za/adsl to check it out

So you would suggest capped over uncapped data due to stabiliy & no monitoring ??

What do you mean by monitoring? A decent capped solution will be must more predicable and consistent than uncapped.

Home Capped Pro offered by WA is an interesting product based on its bandwidth priority profile...

Afrihost has been the best option for me, with the double data offer currently running.
Great service and speeds, only thing is I find WA slightly better for Streaming.

Depending on what times you need the data you can also look at a TI softcap account where you are uncapped from 12 to 7 I think.
