How to access NetFlix?

[The_Ogre]

I had adsl before, was on the slowest one about 2yrs back.

I then cancelled everything, how would I go about getting a 2mb line activated in my area, I live in East London and have tried telkoms adsl speed detector to no avail, I stay in Abbotsford.

Also how would I get around paying for an installation fee?

Google Telkom Simple and choose one of the options there. Installation is free on any of them

Unotelly sucks in my opinion , quite expensive too...

Elaborate on sucks. Works perfectly for me so not sure why you don't like it.

Works for me, and many others. By far the simplest method of getting Netflix/Hulu working outside of US. You obviously don't know what you doing!

I think he is just a cheapskate hence wanting a free option.

Faster 2 Mbps broadband
10 Gigs surfing per month
500 Meg Telkom Mobile once off data

R499 p/m is this 24 month deal?

Will 2Mbps suffice for Netflix 720p quality.

Can I just add another ISP uncapped account to this?

2Mb is fine. 10GB isn't.

Yeah you can use whatever ISP you want on the router. You don't really need to use the Telkom account.

2mbps should be fine I've never seen the usage go above 1.5mbps while watching. Get yourself an uncapped account. I use Axxess and last month did 130gb just using Netflix and Hulu Plus.

I assume they knock off 14/30ths off the price if you join on the 14th.

No its not.

Hemps I told you in the other thread, go for the R644 Simple option. Its uncapped and includes everything. Axxess isn't bad, but I found them to be shaping me a bit too much during the day

Sounds like a plan.

I started using Unotelly last week for myself and I must say it's pretty awesome.

And at only $5 a month pretty cheap too.

Just got Netflix on my WD TV and struggling to stream in better quality. Currently, movies stream at 288p to 384p (I see this via the options menu) and nothing higher.

I have a 10Mbps ADSL account and a capped account from Openweb (will need to upgrade soon) and the streaming uses between 150kBB (1.3Mbps) to 250kB (2Mbps) and nothing higher. Using a free DNS address and streaming over WiFi.

Is this a WiFi issue (which I presume not as YouTube streams very high quality) or the free DNS. Does Unotelly sort this issue out as I want to be able to stream 720p?

Unotelly has a free trial you can use. I suggest that.

Most of the time free+streaming = crap.
