Just moved & Need help deciding

[Mousie]

So ive just moved to my new place
and i can finally get adsl again

im having trouble deciding which service provider to go with now

im generally a medium use kinda person , play alot of online games , and download quite a bit
id say i use about 200gb a month

im looking for a package where i wont have to worry about being shaped to death
i had mweb a while back and never had any problems with them ( at the time we were 3 people using a 4mb uncapped and used alot more bandwidth)

right now im looking at mweb/afrihost or possibly openweb

need to know from you guys what you think the better choice will be
PS. i plan to get a 2mb

Openweb GOLD/SILVER.

Openweb GOLD/SILVER.

How is openweb with shaping ?

Afrihost seems to be cheaper and i've heard good things

 

[ChocolateBadger]

considering I'm with mweb and I'm busy sitting in downtime. Go afrihost.

Shaping on Openweb is minimal. That's why you pay more.

i use plug and on my 4MB i have done just over 320GB and I am still going strong

bwhahahah that's the most obsurd thing I have ever heard. Are you an undercover openweb agent?

I had 3 open web accounts the past year including Gold. Get ready to be shaped

hmm

not sure who to go with at this stage
very undecided -.-

not want to have the hassle of changing isp's over and over

My vote would be for Afrihost business uncapped. Performs very well for me, but then I'm not a gamer, so cannot comment on that part.

Go Afrihost, if you really are a 200GB a month guy and work during the day then your experience will be great. I have 2MB uncapped with afrihost and have only experienced shaping/slowness when I was downloading as much as I could!

its been a while since i had fixed adsl but used to use that much more or less (200gb is more of a max on a intensive download month maybe)
i do work all day so i'm not too worried about shaping during business hours
its more about after 5 and weekends
