Hi Guys,

are the MWEB uncapped accounts any good for gaming?

I game mostly internationally on wow and HoN with a bit of local stuff.

Interested in the 1meg uncapped from MWEB.

Anyone have any problems with pings etc?

thanks in advance for info.
 
There is a thread dedicated to the lag on WOW that MWEB guys are experiencing.
I play anothr MMO Rappelz, which lags REALLY badly too.
This is the main reason I am leaving MWEB when my notice period is over

World of Warcraft HIGH MS / Lag / Latency ONLY* on mweb account

check your areas you live in cpt should be fine, think ant is up in the north :P

i am fine on wow 160-180ms, i don't play hon but by LOL ping is about 180
 
Not if you play WoW it isnt, get OpenWeb gold rather
 
I would not suggest Mweb uncapped for gaming.

My wife, son and I all play COD on international servers and have been searching to see which one gives the best latency and lag free games. I have tried Axxess, Openweb, MWeb and Web Africa.

Axxess, openweb (which are both supposingly unshaped) and Mweb actually gave me the same pings on the server I play on as well as quite jittery when playing. Web Africa gave the lowest ping and was quite fluid in play.

So much so my wife has told me to switch our internet account over to Web Africa. She snipes and bitches like anything with the lag if she can't hit anyone

sat-3 vs seacom, the sat-3(webafrica) would give the lowest, the cable differs largely

with mweb cpt gets sat-3, and up north seacom
 
i can send you some screenies with ping etc, but i cant tell you 100% you will get same ping as me .

but 100% sure you will get sat-3 bandwidth.
 
MWEB confirmed ages ago the cape guys go through SAT3 and everyone else through Seacom.
