What should I replace Iburst with?

[ivanrulz]

Hi,

I am currently paying R600 for 3GB of Iburst.

I am tired of the inconsistent download speed.

What would be the best option to replace this crap with?

I am thinking ADSL but there are so many options that I have no clue where to start or what would be the best.

I don't want to end up spending more than R600 a month on internet.

Any suggestions?

Dial-up ... much faster

Telkom Do3

damn, you beat me to it Landyman. Was going to suggest a rock: about the same speed and much cheaper.

HAHAHAHA!

Do3? Is that the way forward?

Well, looking at the speed I am currently getting on Vodacom, I might just dump iBurst for a full Vodacom solution at home

How 'bout this http://uncapped.imagine.co.za/dyndns/ - R 592.80 for a 192k line, no P2P though

Not really an option as that price excludes rental of ADSL Line and Analogue line.

You left out the analogue line rental. Think you can get a 5GB account for R245 from Openweb.

 

[ivanrulz]

How much will the analogue line cost?

How much will the analogue line cost?

about r110 per month residential or r150 business.

ADSL 384
Line rental: R111.90
ADSL: R152

Then it depends on the bandwidth you want. I have a pay-as-you-go, slightly more expensive per mb, but considering that some months I go through about 3.5mb, and others about 0.5mb, I prefer this option. That's R70 per gig. I also go through about 1gig of unshaped every 3 months, which is R110 per gig.

Total cost: I spend about R500 a month - and that includes telephone calls from the landline.

Can't complain about the speed. It's just a little too slow to watch Youtube in realtime, and P2P is slow, but considering what I'm doing with it, I understand. Gaming is alright. Everything else is more than sufficient.
