What are the ISPs that offer large capped accounts? (200GB+)
 
I have used Afrihost for years. Have a basic 40g account and topup at R5 a gig when needed. They might have othres - check
 
Thanks - trying to find somewhere reliable.

WebAfrica - shaped capped accounts, I found this too extreme during the day for my needs, especially near month end.
Afrihost - are ok, but when they have issues, you never know when it'll be resolved. Days, Weeks?
Axxess - don't like their service in general.

So far, Afrihost have been the best overall - but I'm using a capped account for reliability, its a serious PIA if there are issues, and I need to drive to work to fetch a 5GB file.

Might give Vox a try. I believe my line is capable of 20MB

VOX Fatpipe is amazingly good.

These still OK? School hols now, and will need something that just works for the kids, Afrihost has tanked and looks to be down for a while still, again.

If you want something for the kids rather save some cash and get a cheaper account.

Pffft... Afrihost farts and spurts about being fixed soon, but its more miss than a hit. International tanks from 8/9am and then hiccups along unpredictably at about a third of the line speed (no shaping of capped or business accounts AH still bleat), streaming Youtube only sometimes works above 360p... downgraded from a 200GB capped account to a 10GB account (luckily) and have now a whole bunch of ISP capped accounts to switch between. Going to be fun juggling the holiday demands between these... the slightest buffer and its Armageddon wails from the kids... and this is not even mentioning multiplayer sessions and Steam updates.

/meh

Hoping to find a largish capped ISP that just works.

Besides the shaping on their normal accounts, I also need bandwidth throughout the day, not just afterhours.

Which is exactly why I recommended Business capped. What am i missing here?
 
Business capped. Just LOL. ISPs in SA have taken taking advantage of the consumers to the next level.

Have you checked the link? Bandwidth is split with the bulk of it 12am to _6am.

Yes. Web Africa is my primary ISP. Value for money they are right up there even if you ignore the midnight data.
