Currently on openweb 10mb gold -R937

Upgrading to 20 mb vdsl.

Openweb is not what is used to be - slow during the day.

Youtube buffers.

Which uncapped isp can I move to that?

Without throttling me etc.

Crystal Web is the up & coming ISP, I suggest contact them. [email protected]

I'm as happy as a pig in s**t. ;)


720p Live streaming basically no buffering.

How much data you use? With VDSL it might be better to look at a capped option. Reliable uncapped at 20Mbps+ speeds is very expensive.
 
Cybersmart=MWeb when it comes to consumer accounts. Stay clear. I'd go with Vox, CrystalWeb or Web Africa. All capped options, and a fancy bolt-on from Vox to help with large transfers.
 
Since you're on 20Meg I'd recommend a high cap account like Web Africa's home capped packages.
 
Is anyone using the Telkom Smarthome Supreme 40 mb vdsl @ R1199? http://www.telkom.co.za/summerofwow/home.html

100GB anytime data
Unlimited night surfer data
Unlimited Telkom to Telkom calls
5 X sims with 1gb data per month
2 X sims with 150min airtime per month
VDSL router
Wifi range extender
3G Mifi router
Free DSTV Explora (of course)

Is this a good deal or am I missing something? I currently have a 4mb Premium adsl line and use about 300-400gb data per month, but I'm sure I can limit my downloads to night time.
 
Stay away from Cybersmart boys, don;t be a cyber idiot that goes to Openweb too, please read:

THE TRUTH ABOUT OPENWEB


1. All accounts get SHAPED and/or THROTTLED to death... Yet its clearly stated on their website you would never been THROTTLED. During the day my speed seldom exceed 40kbps on a 4mb account

http://businesstech.co.za/news/colum...idiculous-isp/

2. Only "ISP" that don't keep track of your usage, but LOTS of OW accounts are being SHARED. I got the proof of my account being shared

http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/attachme...5&d=1401824885
http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/attachme...3&d=1401832605

3. Access to http://userstats.adsl.saix.net/ & http://users.isdsl.net/ blocked and they are lying about usage stats when they are in fact correct and because it was too easy to see account sharing and correct usage, another lie

3. Resell IS, MTN etc products and thus don't need an office as most of their stuff are done by IS etc anyway. Its called "ISP in a Box". They buy "X" amount of gigs per month from IS, MTN etc and manage it as they see fit, thus the endless types of specials and account types.

4. Only got a handful of employees - Leon, Zelda, Leoni, Charmaine. Athol and Keoma the members of the CC.

5. They use various names - OpenISP, Openweb, Myopenweb etc.

6. Committed FRAUD with their CIPRO registration using a false address etc.

http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/attachme...9&d=1402495556

7. Not registered as an ISP with ISPA or ICASA.

https://www.icasa.org.za/Portals/0/R...abase_0711.pdf

8. Incorrect Lindekin data.

http://www.linkedin.com/company/openweb.co.za

9. No ability to resolve account issues besides giving out other accounts which are already in use...

10. Blaming Telkom/router for everything yet accounts with other ISP's are working 100%

11. Constant account authentication issues...

12. Their MyBB accounts stopped responding the 9th of May.

13. "I'm afraid due to the destructive nature of the forum, we have suspended support here." The answer I got from OW about MyBB.
