Hi Everyone

I want to know what is the best to get if you have a 384K line.
As I understand you can download realistically about +-50GB a mouth.
Digichilli and Screamer are to unreliably and currently have to many problems as can be seen in this forum. I do not want to move my line as with SAOL.
Is Axxess express or express+ worth is if you only have a 384K line.
What does other 384K line users use ?
 
SAOL Simply Uncapped for R499 incl ADSL rental. You have until midnight to sign-up.

Telkom Do2 and Web Africa 30gig local for R130 pm:cool: with the odd Afrihost gig!

Apparently us 384'ers are being bumped to 1meg around March/April.
 
Are you serious? Where'd you hear this?

no, not yet :(

but hopefully within the next six months :eek:

by the way, it seems that these were the upgrades that Telkom has proposed (back in June already)....

384/512--> 1mb (guarantee 384)
1mb--> 4mb (guarantee 1024)
4mb--> 8mb/unlimited (guarantee 1024)
Gary hasn't been wrong before. It was also mentioned when MyBB did an article confirming the 8mb trial. I could be wrong about the date but I'm pretty sure I heard it from a reliable source!
 
8md/unlimited meaning what??? faster than 8mb?

but yea that would make the world of difference(384kbs-1mbs) if they did that....but what would happen to digichilli and screamer and saol? with their offers do you think their speeds would increase as well?

lol, just be happy if you're exchange and copper can support 8Mb/s. Asking for anything more seems unrealistic.

That's the reason why I haven't signed up for any slow, uncapped products. I doubt they will be increased as well and I don't want the extra admin. SAOL seems to be the only viable option- I'm not keen on transferring my line to them and back again when the upgrades happen
 
oh back to the topic.... i think saol is the best... my buddy straatkat went with them, coz think bout it.

300 digi spicy + 151 line rental = 451 and thats 256kps and almost never online
399 screamer + 151 line rental = 550

so saol its actually the best on the market right now
 
Is there anybody here that use Axxess express with a 384k line.
If so, how much are you able to download in a month ?
 
You can get a lot more than 50 gig on a 384 line.

Max is about 100gig.

I think that if they upgrade the 384 lines they are either going to up the price of uncapped or make some kind of acceptable usage policy, for me if they capped it at about 60gig's then I would still pay R500

I have Cybersmart uncapped but I don't push it to the max, I have used about 20 gigs and its only halfway through the month, in theory you can do about 3 gig a day. I'll probably up my usage when all the series start again.

I doubt anyone. The point of Axxess uncapped is raping it with your 4meg line after hours:twisted:

So that's why Axxess changed to IS, take the money of the normal users to compensate for the Axxess uncapped rapists.
