Gamers ISP of choice is Mweb

Just waiting on my line and I'll be one too. I predict my happiness will be inversely proportional to the length of time I must wait...

(Hint hint)
 
I'm a very happy customer. Been with them on 4mb uncapped for over a year now. Have had 1 day of down time, support is excellent and my gaming pings are by far the best I've seen over many different ISP's. Very happy.
 
MWeb's latencies are AWESOME. I get 175ms in WoW! The most it goes up to is 220ms. A far cry from 450ms minimum back in the Telkom days.
 
As a MWeb customer, I was almost thrown out of a game this past weekend. All the other 5 players were using Telkom as an ISP, and there were problems with my connection. Until I switched to my FNB ISP account, and suddenly there were no problems. Go figure. I wonder if it had something to do with the non-paying for interconnect between MWeb and Telkom.

mmmmmmmm...... I'm on Webafrica uncapped, play mostly Starcraft 2 and a couple of shooters.

Can anyone from experience advise as to which ISP is consistently better for gaming? MWeb or WA?
 
I'm an ex-WA gamer - now a proud user of MWEB. My ping is about 10-20 higher in MWEB, but it is more consistent and reliable.

So overall you'd recommend them over WA for a gamer?
 
For sure!

I can play whenever I want!
When using WA I had to stop all downloading and my brother could barely browse while I'm playing otherwise I'd lag! Now he can still download and browse and I won't lag even a bit!
I can also play after midnight, but when I used WA and everyone started their downloads at midnight...:sick:...could just as well go to bed.

Well if your line is running a download and the source allows you to download at max speed then it's pretty obvious that your game will lag.

I don't experience what your talking about, the after midnight thing... I guess we've just had different experiences with WA?

At the moment I get good pings with them but will change in an instant if I find an ISP that will give me better pings than them.

I don't experience better pings, so in that regards WA wins.

I can play without lagging while my brother's torrents run at 100kbps on our 1mbps line...this wasn't the case with WA.

If you have no problems with WA, stay there.
