Cheapest 4Mbps uncapped ADSL prices

We need a comparison that mentions the shaping/throttling policies/limits... price only is meaningless.

Not only meaningless, but actually harmful. Makes people not in the know think that pricing is the only differentiator.
 
You have to visit a store first, before you can sign up for this offer.

* Promotion code (promo voucher must be collected in store from sales agents) required to redeem promo price.

Given how well my R99 2Meg Connection account served me (17:00 to 07:00 and weekends), I am very tempted to give their R199 promo a go for a month. Pity that I'm having a hard time breaking 100GB's lately.

I wouldn't go near such a cheap 8Mbit account. Incredible of all companies are not going to provide something that's too good to be true.
 
If you only require full speeds after office hours and on weekends then the Incredible one is the best. It even performs better than my Afrihost capped account.

Unfortunately these days that's not saying much.
 
WebAfrica use IS, so I would expect throttling etc. to be in line with WA's
 
These accounts are usable during office hours as long as you don't use them during office hours. :p

If you only use your internet for browsing between 6:00 and 23:00 and download between 23:00 and 6:00 these accounts are for you. The abovementioned timeframe applies to weekends as well. If you have 5 stars, you're basically unshaped even during business hours. But if you use these accounts during business hours, even just for browsing and email, your star rating will drop to 4 within a few days.

This is my experience with the 2Mb uncapped. I can't speak for the 4Mb or 8Mb.

Anyway, the promo code for the 4Mb is incredible4. I would assume that the code for 8Mb is probably incredible8 or incredible4 as well.

Remember that the thresholds are based on % of theoretical limit, so 100GBs on 2Meg, isn't the same as 100GBs on 4Meg.

Sometimes it's better to use a faster account on a slower line.

Yes, I realize that. The timeframe in which tha data was consumed also plays a huge role with these accounts.

Downloading 1GB of data during peak hours, counts more heavily against your star rating than 1GB consumed during off peak, and even less after hours.
