Openweb

[zll]

Hey ppl.

With the price drops coming in August, and the fact that I am resigning from my part time icafe job to work another part time job @ Exclusive Books, I will probably be getting ADSL. I was wanting to go with Openweb but I am deathly afraid of IS since we tried an uncapped package thru SAI (a reseller) once. I will mostly use it for gaming and email and once the 1 gig int is gone, some local torrents from greenlab or whoever the major tracker is these days. So yeah:

1) Is IS latencies and speed ok during the day?
2) How good is the uptime through Openweb?
3) Do you get any speed @ all once you have been capped internationally? Not even a trickle to check my gmail?
4) Will I be able to log into steam once I am capped (even if it takes 20 minutes)?
5) Will being based in Cape Town affect anything drastically?
6) I have heard rumours about higher cap SAIX based accounts from Openweb. Anyone got any inside info on those? ^_-

After reading that, choose your provider. Axxess or Webafrica.

Buy a 1GB prepaid unshaped account and top up when you need to, then you buy let's say 10GB local for R190, it's worth it, the speeds are amazing

Openweb is cool, but greener pastures have arrived.

my decision to go with another isp was based on openweb's useless website alone.

Zolmaster was asking a few questions like uptime and latencies - not a personal taste opinion....so keep to the topic plz.

Heya

Zol most of the **** you play is local or ...? If its local IS isps are fine, I would recommend openweb, webafrica were useless and screwed up my order several times when i did an EFT.

For international something unshaped is better, e.g. verizon or webafricas multi dsl that allows you to switch between saix and verizon network by changing your username slightly.

I would recommend like a 1-2 gig international saix acc and 30gig local for R130 from openweb, i get full speed on my downloads on 384k line with openwebs IS 30gig local.
