Help!

I forgot I cancelled my Mweb ADSL. I used to be on premium uncapped 4Meg line but got tired of the streaming lag. So initially I was looking at Axxess 100+100GB capped option (best price) but I am nervous now after their capacity issues. Then I looked at CrystalWeb capped 600GB (120GB+480GB night time) but I heard a lot of good things of VoxTelecom fat pipe capped, so thinking of the 150GB.

I would say on a bad month I need about 150GB but average 90-100GB per month. Depending on Xbox game downloads and other... stuff...

Any advice?
 
Should have switched to a MWEB capped rather. HOw can you "forget" u cancelled your subscription?
 
I'm on the CrystalWeb Business Capped package (200+800), haven't had a days issue with it (touch wood) in Durban on a 20MB line.

NNTP, Xbox One digital games, the odd torrent.
 
I tried a few capped options and have settled with webafrica business capped. consistently get my full line speed, no issues with p2p or streaming.
 
I am also looking ATM.

I canceled my CrystalWeb account, Afrihost has issues, Axxess is owned by Afrihost, Mweb pricing is stupidly high ,OpenWeb will never get a cent from me again, WebAfricas trial account was meh to say the least so who's left? Considering cybersmart or Vox? Any other suggestions?
 
Im paying R719 doe MWEB 10Mbps capped 75gb + 75GB + 1 additional 2GB mailbox.
 
Web Africa = Streaming
Afrihost = Torrents

Pick the struggle, you can't have both
 
I chose the 15+60 business option from WA. lets see how that goes. :) Hope I can find some stability now.

I've just switched from CrystalWeb capped to Vox Fatpipe 100GB. Happy thus far; remember that the data rolls over with Fatpipe so you can factor that in when considering higher traffic months.
 
Well, only 3 left.

1. WebAfrica
2. CrysalWeb
3. VOX FP/BO

:confused:
 
There were some mutterings of a 20mb bolt-on option coming to Vox soon but we waiting on that.

OP is on a 4mb line isn't he?

10mb max yeah, for bolt-on. Gig4gig and fat pipe I think can go to 100mb. Stand under correction.

OP yes, but you said Vox Period. Like no room for debate.

And then reason I prefer other ISPs is due to the limitations on speed.
