Help!!! Which ISP to choose?

[christopha]

My 2 year contract with iburst finally expired. My max adsl line according to Telkom is 2mbps(Copper). I want uncapped.
I stay in Kraaifontein, Cape Town.

My biggest question is which internet provider to choose for the best experience?

Anybody please help with some suggestions.

Thanks

For 2mb uncapped just use Telkom....their 2mb uncapped is seriously good. I had it for a couple years and no issues at all.

Your usage might differ completely from OP's.

I can vouch for this, completely crap for gaming though.

WebAfrica
2mbit Pro
R699pm

CW
4mbit Premium Home Uncapped
R429

What gives?

That's R429 excluding line rental.

Awesome. I just wanted to confirm. I pay telkom R579 for a 2meg uncapped line.

This might have changed with the introduction of prioritisation recently available through TI Tracker>My Tools:



... can't comment on the impact on gaming but streaming latencies have improved.

That's R429 excluding line rental.

And R699 excluding the line rental as well...

I am trying to figure out why there is such huge price difference.

I'm with WebAfrica 10Mbps capped (60GB+240GB) - line shifted across to WebAfrica too - and very happy with it.

Christopha, rather go with capped than uncapped. Uncapped is always slower than capped on the same line speed, and on a 2Mbps line you'll really feel that.

KAB Technologies in Cape Town.

One is a home product and the other is a business product. Ours is Home Premium, and WA's is a business uncapped.

With CW we offer the following on uncapped:

Home Basic
Home Premium

Business Basic
Business Premium

We offer the same for capped products. Our FAQ on our site goes into detail wrt how each product operates to make choosing the right one for your needs easier. We also have a business capped special running at R1,50/GB if you're a business looking for the best business DSL connection in SA. Also offering free first month on that...

Their DSL services are meh at best. Their Fibre is average.

Why do you want uncapped?

What is your peak monthly data usage?
