You're getting till October! Lucky sodd.

There really isnt a viable alternative - I'm just going to be more judicious with my acquisitions until there is.

Yea well,

It really ticks me off. And yes i do heavy P2P dl but i also run a 1 hour photolab with a lot of street photographers for which i installed 2 pc's out of my own pocket so that they have access to email and web browsing for free.

And with current prices i am sorry to say but i cannot afford to spend R1000+ on my internet access alone and then another R600 odd for line rental a month. So guess who is not gonna be surfing anymore.

This is true, thats why we have introduced our express product R 1200 ex.

It is the cheapest we can go on this solution, it allows full p2p etc. While it is more expensive we are hoping that people could somehow justify the extra R 200 bucks in order to get it, once again we dont control the prices, we just take the Telkom / IS product and mark it up as little as possible.

I also heard that it is very slow (10k-15k) during the day etc etc. If weasel is prepared to gimme a test acc to see how it works i might consider it. Also i sign no contracts for more than 6 months.

i guess that only 1 concurrent connection is allowed?

anyone know of a uncapped package that allows 2concurrent connections?

apparently these guys do, but I've heard some bad stories about them limiting speeds after you used a certain amount of bandwidth. 2 Concurrent connections allowed.
