Best ISP to switch to?

Hi

Have you considered moving to the 2mbps premium account, it has a threshold of about 200Gb's and cost R369.00 pm for data only.
If you would like to do so, drop me a PM with your account info and I can arrange for a consultant to contact you and assist in processing it.

Also, as far as I'm aware, there is no way to only get ADSL from Telkom without a voice line being active.

Hi MWEB Guy. we do need the 4mb line, since we are going to be 3 people that use the line at the same time. We had 2mb in the beginning and it did not work. If someone watched YouTube, the other 2 could not do much. I have a smart tv and use YouTube every day to watch tv, since I don't have DSTV. That is why we need the 200 gig threshold, since the every day YouTube streaming is eating cap.

Our max line speed in our area is 4mbps at the moment, so any packages above 4mbps will be a waste.

At the moment it looks like we are going to stay on the MWEB package, since the performance we had thus far was good enough for our uses. I also got the new person moving in to pay a fair share of the internet costs, so we would at least be able to afford the more expensive MWEB package we have at the moment. I would rather pay R100 more per month then have to struggle with bad performance when I need it the most.

See how insane it is? You're on an UNCAPPED account but having to worry about a cap with a ribbon around it called a "threshold". Ugh, still can't stomach how Mweb went from heroes of uncapped to the worst example (at least on principals) I can think of.

Frankly between 3 people, 4 mbps is just not enough for youtube streaming etc. And that's the sad part, I'm also stuck on that horrible speed for ages.

Ever considered that each person get's their own ISP account (capped accounts are quite cheap now). That way it's fair play.
