Actually at the moment it seems are HUGE problems with fibre cables somewhere between SA and London, I doubt any ISP in SA having good latency right now.
From simple tests I can see that all of SAIX/IS/MTN-Business are affected.

I've never had any issues gaming with Afrihost. I even tried my old Axxess account (SAIX) and had the same issue (and cost me R70 for 1GB). With SAIX I had more DC's than IS (Afrihost).Afrihost is the worst thing you can use for gamingI would rather bundle the packets with my hands, and FEDX them to europe.
EDIT: Seems SAIX unshaped accounts were unaffected.

Well normally Afrihost is damn good always, except if there a big network fault somewhere. I happily use it @ about 280-320ms and I have done so for ages (with proxy that is) and @ R29 a gb its awesome.
I also have Cybersmart that runs +- 240ms in 25 man raids usually, but the biggest thing about them is its constant @ that, u can see with Quartz bars also it stays the same while others still have small spikes
Last night Afrihost & CS gave me the same results, ****ty latency & random DC's

So... it seems like there are always issues regarding decent rading latency.
What is the best set up for getting:
Good latency in 25 man raids (even with lots of aoe whene necessary)
No DC's
Reliable connection (no down time esp during raid nights)
Easy or relativly easy to set up (I can be a bit of a noob sometimes with my pc setup and I dont want to completel screw up my connection)
Not too expensive (mind you iBurst is pretty expensive
)
Is this possible or am I dreaming?
Hope Im not opening up a can of worms

Im sure that would provide excelent connection speeds but hardly cost effective
