I posted this on the Sticky but there were no replies so here goes.
I need some advice... for the past few years I've been paying for Telkom's "4-10 Mbps" ADSL package, well in the past 1-10 Mbps, but anyhow it only syncs at 2 Mbps, which is fine for me. I'm not really willing to downgrade to 1 Mbps after all this time and feel the snail-paced interweb browsing.
The problem is that it's extremely difficult to choose an ADSL Bandwidth package to match my 2 Mbps line speed. So far the best deal I've found is Afrihost's 25 GB double data special at R475, but I've been looking around at different uncapped packages. I like to use local news servers to grab a lot of content and in my experience, SAIX local is a lot more stable and reliable than IS or the MWEB news servers. so I was considering the new Telkom Uncapped 1 Mbps package due to no restrictions being placed on local traffic. Another option I was considering was to go with MWEB's Uncapped Bigtime Surfer 4096 kbps Data & ADSL Line rental for R899 which I consider to be a good deal. I must say that Axxess with their rolling window doesn't look appealing at all...
But that's just what I think.. anyway, I'd really appreciate it if I could get your opinions about which Bandwidth Package and ISP you all recommend for my 2 Mbit line (sadface)
Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

and other than uncapped accounts, capped packages are just too expensive :/ From what I've heard MWEB offer the best throttling/shaping policies to do with their uncapped accounts.
