we also using Mweb, and their managed network service is good, that they will monitor the connection and follow up with Telkom, without me needing to moan first.
But they are quite expensive... have actually been pondering move to Vox... way cheaper for faster connection.....

VOX
I have been with VOX. Definitely not good. I never got any cash refunds (they promise that when people call you on your vox number, you get paid for that call. When I contacted them regarding getting cash back, they said only after 3 months. I have cancelled my contract with them and my debit order and still they go into my bank account every month to deduct money. I havent gotten a cent back from them yet. The bank is not in a position to do anything since it does reflect that the bank has cancelled the debit order from their side.
BEWARE OF VOX!!!

Telkom? VPN link?
What speed of line are you using? iBurst Business have a number of wireless leased line solutions now.

Leased lines are the only solution in SA that absolutely guarantees QOS for your VOIP calls.
Linking multiple offices (data & VOIP) is hard on ADSL as the VOIP calls experience too much jitter, delays and re-transmits.
If separate ADSL lines are used, one for data and one for VOIP, then it's a bit better but call quality is still 4/5 at best.
For data-only, leased lines have become pretty useless.
""Telkom and the rest hope you don't realise this""
I cancelled a 1Mbps Diginet Gold line & replaced it with a normal run-of-the-mill 4mbps 50GB cap ADSL (routed via fiber not sat).
Diginet was 6 times the cost and DSL is twice as fast.
I have a 2nd DSL as backup (still cheaper than LL)
It's MHO that If you run VOIP/want to run VOIP get a DSL line for data, a small leased line for VOIP and a router capable of "multilink"
If either link fails you're still connected, just a tad slower.
And If normal leased line (Diginet/Matis) is not good enough for ya, then our Friends at Telkom can supply a 155Mbps ATM point to point link at roughly R100K rental per month.
moehahaha.
