Good Day all


I hope I can get some advice here, I am currently looking for a new ISP, as my previous ISP and I never saw eye to eye. (long story)


I do a lot of gaming and streaming and at times I am required to download large files via p2p and this could happen at any time during the day.


Which would be the best ISP for lets say 300-600gb of data a month in a fully unshaped environment.


All advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Richard


:::EDIT:::

Currently I am paying R1300 for my current account so suggestions anywhere up to R1500 (with line) if possible would be great

Well 1 of those I am not allowed.

So I guess it comes down to 1 of these: VOX, WA, CW

I had a horrible experience with AH in the past but after the big network switch they've upped their game massively.

I agree they upped their game massively and I would still be with them right now if I was not asked to kindly leave seems they can't live up to my standards ... Go figure
 
Vox is not that suitable for gaming. The ping varies wildly and they appear to be rate limiting.

Thanks for the information :) ... Guess that really limits my options now

It would be best to ask the ISP's you are interested in to give you a test account. It would help you make an informed decision and you will have first hand experience of how their network performs for you. :)

Have you tried Axxess since they moved away from the MTN's network?
Very good value for money if you take into account the free after hours data and double your GB top-ups etc!

People say nice things about openweb and crystalweb. They seem to be really mean about Telkom, but there are so few demanding people on that network you might get a good experience.

No.

@OP what do you mean with:

Axxess is owned by Afrihost, they are pretty much the same company/operate on the same network.
