Webafrica - Please suggest a package!

[JHatman]

I'm not on ADSL at the moment, my current local wireless connection I have at my house gives a maximum of 30kb/s and I'm getting around 1500-3000MS latency. Needless to say, this makes even simple questing a nightmare. I have a phone line at my flat and wanting now to upgrade now and enjoy WoW the way its meant to be enjoyed.

Ok basically, I'm not a raider and will just be doing the occasional 5 mans and mostly levelling alts in the evening. Please suggest me a package out of this lot guys, most appreciated!!!

from silver to platinum should be fine, depends on how much per month you want to spend

Thanks!

The thing that concerns me and what I'll have to base the cost on now really is the cap. Anybody monitored how much traffice WoW generates on average a month?

Hi,

I know you asked specifically for webafrica, but I just got the 626 account from Axxess. I only use it when I play wow, and switch back to my normal account when I stop.

I got 1 gig prepaid on the 27th of August, and I've only used 27% so far... so prepaid is the way to go in my opinion.

Hope this helps.

You the second person today who's suggested I go pre-paid. Is this the package you have? http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=160190

Wow this isn't too bad at all!

 

[Killkenny]

That's the one. Cost me about R50, and I'm sure it'll last me about 3 months.

Also the nice thing about that account is that it is active from Friday 6pm to Monday 6am, so you get the weekends unshaped.

I am getting latency of about 400-500... 300 if I'm lucky

Its just for WoW. I use the normal internet stuff, FB, mxit etc but nothing that you could call taxing on bandwidth. The 626 hours are perfect though cause thats when I'm usually on!

Im on a 4Gb Webafrica unshaped account, and it serves all my internet needs. I raid and use ventrilo, and occasionally, not often but still, research videos of fights. 4 Gb is enough for all of that.

For a heavy nights raid of 3 - 4 hrs, with ventrilo, I use around 250Mb. Hope that info helps
