I totally agree but I'm currently in quite a odd situation myself. Been on mobile data for the best part of four years now as the complex I lived in had no telecoms infrastructure at all. Just moved and I can finally get a hard line. Fibre would be fantastic but I can't find a provider that has FTTH at the new address, so copper it is.
Applying for the line only from Telkom and have narrowed the ISP choice to WebAfrica or Crystal Web... I've decided to go uncapped for two or three months to get an idea of what my actual usage and usage patterns are like. Then it'll be on to WA, CW or Vox for a capped package.
Not sure if the cheapest package is always the one to go for. I'd have started this thread with a best overall uncapped solution heading and I guess that's why I'm posting here... To find out what ya'all think... Scrolling through the specific provider feedback threads can be tedious and you often find conflicting user reviews (even in the Afrihost thread).
