Would this still impact me if I moved to 50mb rather?
Been considering moving down a level on the line.

There is always TCP overhead, but the higher the capacity link the higher the TCP overhead.

Torrents are dependent on the torrent and the seeders, I've noticed on average around 1MBps per torrent and the really seeded torrents will max your circuit speed.

I will confirm that is all about the seeders speed. If there are enough you will get max speed of the line no issue. I normally hover just above 5.5MB/s on my 50/50 line for most torrents. Some that are badly seeded or oversubscribed will go at around 1-2MB/s. Still amazingly fast and zero shaping!

I am currently with Webafrica and would like to try out a new service provider, would it be possible to test out the Cool Ideas service before going through the whole cancellation and sign-up process? I am currently on the 100Mb uncapped.

This depends on your existing provider really, if you order a new service it should "Shelve" your existing one with WA allowing you to try the new service. But this is up to them really, I presume they would want you to cancel before being able to try another service.
 
@PBCool

Is it possible to provide me with a temporary test account on your network please?

I currently have a 100/50mbit fibre connection (on the OpenServe network) but am tired of paying for ridiculously slow speeds and bad latency at my current ISP - I'm considering switching away and am thus looking for a proper replacement.

Thanks.

I will see what I can do, drop me a mail on paul at cisp.co.za
 
Just a quick note to say great after hours support received from PBCool.

Am a new Cool Ideas user (signed up this month) and pretty happy so far!
