Web Africa Cheap Home Capped ADSL accounts carries a lower priority in bandwidth during business hours

You can check for more information here: How is the traffic prioritised?

I'm using their Home Uncapped, but also have prepaid GB's on the capped. The capped is obviously a bit better (same quality as their business uncapped accounts), but a business capped account carries a bit more priority as I said.

If you're thinking of moving, try the trial first. You'll get a good feel of if the account is good enough for you

I have signed up for the 60GB + 60Gb, I'm really hoping that it's a full speed minimal/no shaping connection that will give me the full benefit of my 10mbps line!

If not, I will make use of the money back guarantee.

Is the home capped shaped using the star system or webafrica's own policy?

So far so good...

I have tested YouTube and I get perfect 1080p, and HD Netflix as well...

Still have to test http downloads and p2p, but so far it's looking promising

Poor choice of words on their part "Double Data Promotion". I'd suggest a WA* person clarifies asap whether this is permanent. It looks like it is intended to be, but some clarification would be nice.

“This isn’t a short-term promotional exercise. These price reductions are so deep that we believe they will convince many consumers and businesses, who previously felt it was simply too expensive, to switch to ADSL,” said Web Africa CEO Tim Wyatt-Gunning.

These prices are scary good.As an existing home capped user I am very happy with the speeds.

I hope sufficient bandwidth provision has been made for what could be a significant uptake.

I hope there is sufficient, but then again it's IS and they should have plenty seeing that some resellers are now with MTN.

Quick feedback : I gamed for about an hour online between 7 and 8pm and ping (latency) was a steady 180-195ms max. to Germany. So much better than any other ISP's I've tried. But I guess it also depends on where in SA you are.

Everything else seems to run 100% too. But need to test during office hours still... so far so good.. very happy :)

Pretty good going. This is the trial account on my stable 10mb line no exchange congestion

Edit : ping 158ms to Europe

Excellent
