Help With ISP

[123Eish]

Hello

I can somebody help me I am going to get ADSL internet and need some help.
You see I Browse the web often and read e-mails everyday I do download torrents but not so often mostly at night on weekends.I only need about a cap of 15gig per month

What would you recommed

I was thinking of getting an uncapped account 384k but I think it might be to slow.So what I thought was getting a 512k line ,and one of those 10 gig axxess capped accounts.
I have read the guide available on the forum but would like to know what you guys think.

What woud you reccomend,and if possible how well do those axxess capped accounts work like the speed,torrents browsing.My budget is only R500

Thank You For The Help

Before you go ahead with the 512 option, note that most people on the forum reckon that a 512 upgrade is not worth it in terms of the money put in (some reckon you might as well upgrade to 4MB unless you don't have that option due to Telkom saying you are not supported).

Hi Tremayn

Why not give MWEB a try, you will not be bound to a contract so you can switch if you feel the product is not for you.

512 really isnt that bad and worth it if you go uncapped. The 512uncapped option is much cheaper than the 4meg. I used to have 512 so I should know. I suggest the openweb uncapped lite option. For usage like yours it is perfect. Only consider MWEB if you can wait till after their IPC upgrades in September.

Why is it that the so called "help" gives one half the info. I emailed Axxess about prepaid after getting lost on their web site. All I wanted to know was if they supported SAIX and how much. They said yes it is expensive (true). No link to the page.
Mweb doesn't suggest a package to the OP here. Or give a link.
Afrihost suggested I go onto another package without telling me about the package or doing something about it.

I think i will try the openweb uncapped lite option can i ask what king of speeds you were getting on the 512k line

One more thing do i call telkom first to get the line setup and then order the adsl or how do i order it

Yes, this is what you do...

Call telkom, or go to a telkom shop(might be the best option), order a telephone line. After it is installed and tested by the guy installing it. You call them again and tell them to make your line ADSL capable, they will give you information on how to verify it and what speeds you want to choose.

Then your in the ADSL game and can choose which ISP you want from this point.
