Ok, so I'm finally had enough of Telkom milking me dry and not giving me what I want, so I'm letting my money do the talking.
Currently have a 512k DSL line and a (now) 5 Gig TelkomInternet account, which all in all is costing R695. I wanted to switch to Do level 3, but my exchange does not support 4 mbps yet, even though all the surrounding suburbs in my area do, so Telkom won't let me, and they have no idea when 4mbps will be possible.
So I will be dropping my line back to 384 kbps, switching ISP, and going 'back' to a 3gig account, thereby reducing the money Telkom gets from me by R413pm
Axxess's semi-shaped option seems perfect for me, but I just have one concern regarding performance difference between IS and SAIX internet backbone (especially regarding latency, as I often game online).
Anybody have any experience with the difference between the two, and if there even is a noticable difference? (Also, seeing as IS is going to be using SEACOM, it will also mean even LESS of my money lands in the hands of Telkom at the end of the day)
