Recommend adsl 2mbps package with no throttling

[vorman]

I'm looking for a good 2mbps adsl data package that does not have throttling or a low FUP threshold.

From what I've seen and heard from sales consultants: the thresholds
Afrihost 40gb
Mweb 70gb
Vox 70gb I think also

These are a bit low. 4mbps packages will just put the cost up and I don't really need a 4mbps line. It's not for me but a family member. They will mostly do streaming, hence I require the larger threshold.
I do stream on a 2mbps line and some months i reach 150gb.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Take a 2 meg line only from Afrihost @ R159 pm.
Take a 200 GB adsl fatpipe account from VOX @ R199 - unused data rolls over for a max of 6x your cap, i.e. 1200GB to cater for those months when you need more data - after hours does not count towards the cap.

you get an unthrottled account, with more data than you can reasonably download for R 358 pm.

this would be way better than going the uncapped route.

Thanks JayN. Anyone on an afrihost uncapped account and actually do get shaped once reaching thresholds? I'm looking at their site right now and they say the user MAY get throttled. So it's not always you get half speed if you over your threshold?

All inclusive price, applies to fibre & dsl. Uncapped FUP starts at 360GB, nightsurfer (00:00-07:00) does not count towards the FUP. It's the best deal out there at the moment.

This month all 2Mb/s lines are getting upgraded to 4Mb/s anyway.

Source re 2mb to 4mb upgrade? For all or only Telkom clients?

I didn't see much about stand alone adsl lines being upgraded. Everyone just spoke about the current customers who have adsl and data packages with telkom.
