New ISP Help Please!

[Stiffmeister]

Hey guys
Currently on Telkom's 4MB uncapped, hate it. Worst ISP ever.
I saw WebAfrica's 4MB Home Uncapped and Crystal Web's Premium Home Uncapped.
Anyone used any of these ISPs before and can tell me what the performance is like on both, their FUP's, shaping/throttling and which one do you think would be better ?

Daily Usage:
YouTube(everyday) and streaming of TV shows/Movies etc is done quite often.
VOIP Calls done everyday.
Torrenting is rarely done, maybe like downloading a 4-5gb like twice a month and the rest of the other files downloaded are like small softwares in mb sizes.
Usually download a lot of files from http links, not extremely huge though.

Any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks in advanced!

Whatever you do go for capped and stay away from uncapped.

Agreed. Doesn't sound like you need an uncapped account. CrystalWeb's 250GB is a great uncapped alternative.

"Worst ISP ever" - Have you tried all of them to make this statement!!!

Take some time and read the feedback on the forum.
All the ISP's have their issues.
A capped account may bring an improvement, but do not expect a "Mercedes" with a 4MB line.

What exactly don't you like?

Are you sure it's your ISP and not your exchange/DSLAM?

The critical question is, how much do you use on average per month?

Stay away from home uncapped. Premium uncapped will work well.
