Hi all,
We just moved into a new place and are exploring internet options, for which there seem to be plenty or less-than-average.
We run a small business from home and require internet for UPLOADING large files (1-4gb a couple of times a month). There is no requirement for lightening speeds either up or down, just consistency. We'd be happy with 50kbps UP and 150kbps down, just so long as there is constant speed and connection, and we can leave uploads running (no rush).
Overall, I think we'd probably need about 25gb a month, and uncapped would be perfect. What is the best option? How long are Telkom taking to install lines at the moment? Are there any options without involving Telkom? I've looked briefly at iBurst but even the lady on the phone says they're not very good (oops).
Currently we're running a 2gb per month Cell C stick which has just disconnected twice during writing this. It's per/GB cost is expensive, and unreliable (but admittedly fast with between 200kbps and 400kbps). Copy and paste before hitting submit has become a habit.
We'll install a line if it really takes it, but not sure what to do. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Nick
PS
A bonus would be freezing the connection as we travel for work for sometimes 2 months at a time. Freezing isn't a must though...
