Which ISP should I choose?

Linking to your breakdown from Antitrust.co.za, if you don't mind? Great job, something like this takes incredible amounts of time.

Hey MrG,

I don't want to give you the impression that I am a lazy ass, but I did read your whole post, and yes....... I did get a bit confused.

You seem to be the ADSL Master, so I will cut the chase and just get straight to the point....... I need to ask you for a little help.

I am currently using Sentech My Wireless (256kbps), and the browsing is just fine, but I am looking to change to a more solid connection. (Not Wireless).

What can you reccomend for international browsing. I am looking for 10gb int cap and 1gb local cap or maybe just international. I need a 256-512kbps connection, and all this for 1k/month or less.

Any reccomendations mate?
 
Why don't you get an uncapped account for approximately 1300.00

If it's just international browsing and not downloads then you can look at an IS account from Openweb with the openbrowse proxy. Basically you can choose an account type that goes up to 30GB. For instance you can get a 3/27GB account for approx R250 with openbrowse (not sure about the price but check their site) meaning you get 3GB international and 27GB local. Once you reach your international cap, you can then connect to the openbrowse proxy where you can use your remaining 27GB local to browse international.

He could also get the 10gb he wants from Axxess for under r600.

Not everyone needs uncapped so this cheaper option might better suit his wallet.

Will this allow international browsing and downloading though?

If you looking for 10GB International per month you have these two options in my personal opinion.

Option 1:
R249 x 2 = R498
TelkomInternet 3GB x 2
That will ALWAYS give you 6GB, but since its relaxed capping, you have a good chance of almost always getting 10GB - 15GB (or more)
There is the risk involved (however minor at this moment) that you do not get that, so just depends how you feel about it.

Option 2:
R560 for 10GB Imaginet + R7 per 100MB above that.

That is about the best at the moment for hitting 10GB, this is not mentioning GTS, but they have yet to launch and dont believe they will launch soon either.

With regards to your ADSL Line Rental, simply add the above ISP choice to the below line rental costs.
ADSL 384 downlink 128 uplink is R245
ADSL 512 downlink 256 uplink is R362
ADSL 1024 (up to 4Mbps) downlink 384kbps uplink is R516

Concurrent sessions are the amount of places the account can be used at once. E.g you are logged onto the account from home, and then maybe family of yours in another city.

Otherwise if you use the same account at home and at work. When you leave home and leave your computer online, login at work with the same account, its 2 concurrent connections.
