SAIX or IS??

[APoc184]

So i dont know if this has been asked before but here goes??

Is it better to get bandwidth from SAIX provider or IS provider?

Seems everybody has their own opinion and I cant make up my mind.

Please tell me which one you are using and why. Also tell me why you would not recommend the other provider.

Thanks

I.S is cheaper, other than that they are basically the same.

No difference in speed, latency or problems??

In my experience - SAIX has a lot less problems than IS.

IS is cheaper than SAIX, but with SAIX you get a better quality of service (latency and uptime).

It is like buying meat from Pick n Pay or Woolworths.

For predominantly international web surfing on a 4Mbps line, IS Fibre Semi-shaped whips SAIX's butt (especially at off-peak times). See the thread I've linked to in my signature.

Who do you use for ISP?

Im looking at the Nexus semi-shaped prepaid aka CustomDSL. If im not happy with the provider i'll switch to a SAIX provider and see.

Usually I get the same performance on SAIX and IS. At the moment though, SAIX is a lot slower than IS on local But IS is currently slow on international... damn lines getting cut the whole time

What i like about the Nexus CustomDSL is the fact that you rollover unused data.
