Hi Guys,

I am looking for the fastest ADSL capped account for streaming netflix etc.
I find with afrihost hulu buffers way to much.
I am streaming via my xbox 360
With the SAIX unshapped account it works perfectly but it is R40.00 per gig.

What have you guys used?
 
I think most people will probably say CrystalWeb. I use them for Twitch/Youtube.
 
I tested Netflix with a Telkom softcap account last night and throughput was excellent. On my Roku 3 I was streaming at 5800Kbps 1080p within 30 seconds of starting the stream.

What SAIX account is costing you R40/GB?

My Vox account has gone to the dogs lately, but I think this is mainly an issue in Cape Town.

Well I've tried about 6 different ISPs over the last year looking for a good Netflix experience and eventually settled on Web Africa. They just work the best for me whether it be Netfflix or Twitch.

Netflix, Twitch and Hulu all work extremely well on Web Africa. Afrihost was terrible so I would avoid any ISP on the MTN backbone.

Web Africa worked perfectly for me with regards to streaming. I however think that my current Crystal Web account is a better all round account. Streaming works perfectly and I find general browsing, gaming etc. more responsive than my Web Africa capped account was.

I found it laggy through my xbox too, when I got my Roku 3 device from amazon, it turned out not to be my ISP (yet) but actually some lag caused through xbox
 
+1 for CrystalWeb.

Streaming has been effortless for me :)
