Okay, so I have a 10mbps line with Telkom and 100gb softcap product. No major issues with the line in general, and very rarely have to phone for help. Wonderful! And unusual.
In the meanwhile I've gotten Netflix and at 1080p, between myself and my cousin, we are easily hitting cap every month and now I'm ending up spending way more than the amount I set out to. I notice there is some kind of R99 a month entertainment bundle that can be slotted on, but the wording confuses me, as they talk about per month, 24 hours no cap deducted for watching Netflix / Showmax and such, that is valid for 30 days. Anyone have any know how of this?
Otherwise I am looking into Afrihost and Axxess. But Axxess I am a bit weary of because I was driven into the arms of Telkom by extreme lag on Axxess' line that I had a year or so ago. (It was a 4mb line, so obviously it was slower, but I'm talking 2000ms ping to Dota servers in SA as the norm, and it got progressively worse. Telkom said it was Axxess, Axxess said it was Telkom, I did a traceroute as suggested by a friend of mine, and it seemed that the issue was happening at the MTN Business servers - for some reason Axxess' route out went through there.)
Anyway, don't want to flesh out the details to much, I live near Glengarry Durbanville / Brackenfell, we do have fibre support but I am not too clued up on that.
I was just wondering, who do you guys use, how do you find them? And do any of you know off this bolt on R99 thing of Telkom's?
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!
