BEST DATA + LINE DEALS

[Yasheel]

Hey
I am considering switching from wireless 3g to uncapped adsl. What are the best deals out there at the moment?

 

[Yasheel]

I am considering the incredible connect deal for R99, but what does it come to with the ADSL line?

Only the data account. You still need a post paid telephone line and a DSL active line.

 

[Yasheel]

I have the post paid line. What are costs associated with the line?

Depends on the line speed and whether you get it from Telkom it through the ISP. All the costs are covered here under capped:

Correct me if I'm wrong. It appears as if the best deal does not come from that list.
If I take incredible connect 2meg Uncapped deal for R99, it will equate to R99 + R165(telkom adsl line) = R264. Which is R75 cheaper than mwebs standard 2meg uncapped deal.

Telkom line R167 (weekender plan so you avoid the R580 install) and Telkom 2Mbps ADSL R165, then Incredible Connection 2Mbps uncapped R99 - R420 - nothing cheaper out there for 2Mbps uncapped.

Thanks a lot guys! , really appreciate the assistance!

I should add IC but that spreadsheet was to assist me and I shared it. I am personally trying to steer clear of stringent shaping and throttling services so they probably won't interest me.

I am going from Openweb uncapped (R109 2Mb Vanilla account) to Afrihost 50Gb + 2Mb line rental for R297. Add voice aswell on that. Cause I am really tired of shaping and throttling.

That is the frustrating thing with these uncapped accounts nowadays, you are rarely comparing apples with apples so price alone is a poor indication of what you are getting. Yes, R99 is great but terribly overpriced if I am unable to watch YouTube or other streaming during the day because I downloaded a few GBs over the weekend... and reading the IC thread makes it even more confusing. Some say after hours don't affect your star rating, others say they only download after hours and are on 2 stars.
