Hi guys.
Ok. To cut a long story short, I can no longer take the poor service that Mweb is providing me especially considering Im paying for their "Premium" uncapped package (4mbit)
I would like to ask if you guys can recommend me a good alternative ISP that offers good speeds for gaming, general downloading and not harsh throttling/shaping. I can understand the usual throttling on torrents/p2p during the day. But as long as Im not throttled at night then Im fine with it.
But what I cannot stand is the throttling of general downloading. Mweb Guy has been somewhat helpful in that at least he answers and tells me why my speeds are poor. However I suspect that these replies may not be 100% true words. Because I've not always had these speed issues. They have only popped up recently. And in the past a couple other times. But eventually the issue seems to magically correct itself. But now I am being told it's due to normal throttling. If this is the case, then that means they are throttling http on port 80 as well as after 12am and I cannot accept that kind of treatment for the price I pay.
In short, I want to move to another ISP as my Telkom account and my free Afrihost account works perfectly whereas Mweb does it. But these are both capped accounts and therefor, not very helpful to me since I download many things on Steam and watch YouTube plenty among streaming games on Twitch etc.
So can you guys please recommend me anybody who is decent? I must note that I need a fair AUP usage limit of at least 300-400GB a month before I get throttled. Anything lower is unlikely to be helpful to me as every few months, I find myself having to download a ton of updates for games or reinstall ones I previously uninstalled. So in those times, I find myself going near those limits and can't have anything lower.
Thanks in Advance.
