I am currently running on a digichilli spicy account, and am honestly sick of their **** speeds. I am however cautious to sign up with screamer, as I have heard of problems with it aswell. If I sign up for it, will i get the same full 4096 speeds as I get with my telkom ISP, or will i also get frustrating 20 kb/s downloads. With telkom atm im getting 420 kb/s , im expecting to get this with the uncapped acount. Anybody else got feedback on them?
 
You have a spicy account with DC and getting 20kb/s downloads?

Granted its not your full line speed, but its about 70% of what DC say you should be able to get with the spicy account.

If you want 420kb/s uncapped... be prepared to pay between R2k and R4k pm.

Money is no issue, The screamer account is R2499 , I just want to know if im going to get 420 kb/s on there
 
If money is no option then why not go with one of the proven uncapped providers?

I don't want rolling windows or anything, that is why I want to go for screamer. 1024 kb/s is painfully slow in my opinion, I have just come from using a vodacom 7.2 HSDPA connection. What other ISP'S offer a full time 4096 connection with no rolling windows?

VC 1024 "Up to 4096k"

The words up to make me skeptical, anyone else got this acount? Should I get a download speed of atleast 300 kb/s?

NO ISP will guarantee you a minimum speed unless you're paying REALLY big money for leased lines etc etc...

I just tested one of these accounts this past week for a customer, and well they're rubish couldnt even get 1 meg on a local download. This was after trying them previously about 3 to 4 months ago and then having the same problem. So I'd stay away from them for now.
 
saunj09, I am about to purchase a 4Mbit uncapped as well. You have mainly two options of the main suppliers, namely, Vodacom or IS.
Resellers that I know of: Openweb, Interprise, GamCo, and SAINET. I have looked into them and asked around, and they all do the "no threshhold", unlimited access, 4Mbit connections. Some provide own modems, and some want a 12 month contract at least. If I recall SAINET and Openweb have two options, one with a 12 month contract and one without.
Personally, I am most probably going with either Openweb or SAINET. Speeds are generally between 1.6Mbits and 3.6Mbits during the day. As mentioned above, you can't get them to give you a minimum speed. Though with 3 months of waiting and talking to people, I have concluded this is my best bet other than a proper leased line, which will cost you an arm, leg and a few fingers. Then again, I do have a leased line... which I can't get rid of as I need good quality for critical services, but in the case of just general surfing, the 4Mbit unlimited options are pretty good.
