Recomended mobile ADSL

[savagerule]

I am looking to break free from the land line/Telkom rip off adsl line.

Which mobile ADSL service provider do you recommend. I only need this for online gaming. I have heard good reports for Cell C and 8ta.

Mobile ADSL? You mean 3G/HSPA right? It totally depends on where you live and how many people are accessing the network at the same time, and your budget of course. 8ta has low pings in my area (for wireless) and averages 3.5mbit at peak hours. if I were you I would wait a little for LLU to take full effect, bitstream is taking effect on the 1st, however I don't see much impact in the short term

Thanks. People seem to be very happy with 8ta in my area. Does your 8ta connection ever drop?

Yes., it happens.

8.ta is generally good. In my area I get around 7Mbits down and a ping of around 40ms.

However, expect occasional couple of seconds "loss of communications", otherwise better known as lagg spikes

Stick with Telkom... mobile data is expensive because it's mobile.

Monthly usage?

Very happy with 8ta at home, get 12-14Mbps most of the time, only Vodacom is faster. Using K4605 modem. With 8ta's double up promotion, if you buy more than R50.00 airtime - I think they are the best deal currently
