Can someone recommend me an Uncapped Package?

[MariaVDV]

Hello

First post here so I apologise in advance if it's in the wrong forum ^^;

I recently discovered online gaming and the internet, and with my internet at the moment... Well it isn't cutting it. My ISP at the moment is MTN and I'm using a usb internet that's... very slow.... If I play League of Legends for example, my ping goes as high as 10 000 at times and is frequently 200-3000 on average D:. I saw Mweb has cheapish uncapped ADSL connections available but the throttling is the only thing I'm not sure about. Is the throttling noticeable? Or is it small like 20kb/s decrease or something?

If I had to give a price range... Around 300-500 would be the preferable ammount. I'm mostly going to be playing online games and downloading anime.

I hope I gave enough info for someone to give me some advice

Kind Regards~

Avoid mweb like the plague.

Openweb is amazing non-business hours. Rest of the time dont expect much to download (50kB/s ish during the day). Unshaped the rest of the time. There is no throttling whatsoever, only shaping of non-business accounts during business hours. Usage is not recorded.

Game ports always have highest priority (irrespective of time of day). Assuming you have a good ADSL connection, expect your ping to the UK to be under 180ms, EU 220ms and US around 280ms.

^ Good Advice - but get that free Gig from Afrihost too, good for diagnostic and back up.

Just to be clear

Avoid MWEB

For R500 per month, it looks like you can get a 2Mbps uncapped package (ADSL Line + Uncapped + Phone Line) [used to be 1Mbps]. Openweb has given me the best uncapped internet experience, so I would recommend them.

If you already had an ADSL Line, you could sign up for trial accounts with various ISP's...test out the performance and make a decision then.

And heed what every forumite has mentioned....steer clear of Mweb!!
