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 :P

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
 
If you decide for some or other reason to join with MWEB don't complain because you been given fair warning.

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!!
