I agree that ISP is a personal choice and I agree that one ISP may seem to represent value to one subscriber while being the pits for another.
Having said that, the issue I have with MWEB is one of principle. Their network and infrastructure is good.
MWEB - when managed by Rudi Jansen, revolutionosed the web. He freed the web. He started ''uncapped"' in SA. This allowed MWEB to become the biggest and argueably best ISP in the country. Rudi left, and Derek Hershaw took the reigns.
Unilaterally, he dedided to undo all the good will and internet freedom that EVERY MWEB subscriber used to enjoy. MWEBs throttle policy became silly and un defined.
To boot, subscribers were sent very poorly constructed letters basically telling them they were lower than doggie doo. Suddenly, it was a crime to be a heavy user, and where you were a heavy user, legitimate or not ..... in MWEBs eyes you were an abuser, a torrent whore .......
And the kicker was that for all this MWEB increased their prices while offering less. The MWEB shop in my area closed up, despite it being in the largest mall in KZN at the time.
I am happy for those people who are happy with MWEB.
But for me, I refuse to give my cash to benefit a CEO who I feel has morally wronged me and a whole bunch of other consumers.
IMHO MWEB can kiss my lily white are sole.
and I stick within their limits for throttling) .. but the past few days Google services have been horrific.
Must be pushing some decent margins.
