Best Local only?

[DUDE!@##$%%]

Hello,

I have Telkom 4mb/s internet with 1GB Blended Data.
I found out about traffic splitter and Route Sentry, and now i want to take out a nice local only account.
What is a nice deal that you can reccomend?

I was thinking of webafrica because of the Freezone and Steam Servers, so i can buy stuff from it for once in my lifetime! ( it would currently cost me like R700 to download a big game from steam rendering it pointless)

so any good one?

IS is a bit cheaper than SAIX.

32GB at R160 = R5 per gigabyte (openweb)

Cheapest SAIX:
Telkom 1GB account: 11GB @ R79 = R7.2 per gigabyte.
Telkom 5GB account: 25GB @ R150 = R6 per gigabyte.
Telkom 9GB account: 39GB @ R239 = R6.12 per gigabyte.

SAIX news server is approximately 1000x better than IS news server.

Just get a 11GB SAIX local only at R19 ...

As in, use your telscum account as a plain 1GB + 10GB "Local only" account, then get like an axxess 1GB/R19 international account. That is what I do. Just with Afrihost.
Assuming you want to use the news servers. SAIX > IS

If you don't know what it is, you probably won't need it and renders the saix vs IS argument largely moot. IS is the cheapest, klaar oor en verby. If you seriously want to know more about this, google/search the term 'usenet'.

What exactly do you want to do with your localonly? Gaming / data transfer/ ??? ? Want to game on SAIX? Get saix localonly. Want to game on IS? Get IS localonly. If you go the webafrica route solely for Freezone/Steam ... Lol. That is one big FAIL at the moment by the way - imo at least. Freezone only works 50% of the time for me. And Steam just h a t e s it when you try and force it onto a specific server(s) with eg. any server locking app.

The only thing that worked great for me in the past is getting a cheap IS account, then limiting my international account/traffic to 1KB/s or something. But I guess you could do that with webafrica too. Limit the Telkom account to 1KB/s and then let the webafrica localonly rip.
