Earnest now: what ISP?

[HermanTheGerman]

Lately, more or less since 1 year, I have the terrible feeling that my AH acc sux beeg balls. Speedtests always show everything is fine but connection seems to be sloggy. In games lots of packet loss, websites often repeat error messages and only show new pages after clicking <Try Again> and all that funny business. Up until recently I was a very forgiving customer, knowing AH was overwhelmed by new customer's demands and always waiting for new capacities and new IPC and this and that.

Now everything is resolved - so I hear - and my connection is still bad. Tried a couple of times to help myself in Clientzone but that mostly breaks up and ends nowhere. So I finally have it with the Afroclowns and looking for an affordable alternative.

10 MB uncapped or capped ~200 GB. If uncapped they must not be stingy with the bandwith allowance, if capped I expect unthrottled fullspeed experience all the time for all services, P2P, gaming, surfing, streaming ...

Which ISP would you recommend?
Thanks for your much appreciated help.

As much as I dislike Afrihost, just make sure your line is 100% before you give them the boot.

Yeah, sounds more like a dodgy line/congested exchange.

Maybe first try a free trial account from an ISP like Web Africa.

If it works then take the 10Meg business uncapped.
