Hi Guys

Recently upgraded to 20 mb VDSL.
Currently on Afrihost 100GB + 100GB.
Just wanted to find out what packages you guys are using.

I mostly use Netflix , Hulu + and XBMC.
Don't really download that much , but I don't think 200 GB is gonna be enough.
Not looking at uncapped as it's a little too expensive at the moment.

Thanks
 
200Gigs is not going to be enough. Especially not if you do a lot of streaming.
There are people on this forum who exceeded that and were nailed by Hernshaw, just for streaming, not even for torrents.

I'm staying away from mweb , that's for sure. Don't want to have a 20mb running at 1 mb (if u lucky).
 
I am on 40mb VDSL with 100GB + whatever bonus Afrihost give me per month :)

Fine for me although I almost always come close. Mainly for work, not much downloading, although my kids watch a lot of Youtube videos (You wouldn't believe how many Minecraft videos there are)

Seems like Web Africa gives you more data , but half the data only usable between 12am and 6am.

That is correct, so it depends what your needs require. I am with Web Africa and schedule my downloads for that time and it works out very well, but you said you don't download too much - so Afrihost might be better for you. One thing I can confirm is streaming works 100% on Web Africa.

We stream a lot at home and the best so far has been the uncapped business accounts from Axxess.
 
I see Cybersmart selling uncapped 20mb VDSL for R675.
Anybody using this package , or any other uncapped package ?
How is shaping on these packages ?
