Obviously I'd choose Mweb if budget allowed.
This account will be used mostly for downloading, but also browsing if its quick enough.
We'll keep 1GB prepaid accounts for backup incase it gets shaped/throttled etc.
We're planning to do about 50GB a month. (mostly torrents/P2P)

Only 1 concurrent connection required.

As far as I've heard, Afrihost uncapped sucks. Axxess might be decent?
What are the other good options?

EDIT: the following info was inaccurate: (see post #5)
Looking at the Hellkom 4mb uncapped page
Openweb 4mb uncapped unshaped says "Uncapped, Unshaped ADSL, with no limits. 4096k ALL DAY Uncapped ADSL. Perfect for gaming and Voip!"
Sounds a bit too good to be true for R489? Their TC doesn't mention limitations.

M W E B - just because they awesome but more importantly , if you require help quick and efficiently , then you can contact MWEB Operations on the forum for support (this is not to say the other providers don't have their own peeps on here) however if you been following what MWEB has done in the market then that initself should help you make the decision. I recently just got the 4MB UNcapped from them for a online computer course i am doing (probably use 4-6GB just for that course) and perhaps another 50GB just for downloads etc.

You won't be disappointed iMO :)
 
Oh I see the hellkom listing was a bit deceptive. Its not R489 for Openweb uncapped unshaped gold. Thats actually R2299 LOL.

I see Mweb 4mb uncapped has come down to R539/month.
I already have mweb uncapped 384k. Its really nice because they don't throttle. But they shape torrents to shi* during office hours, which sucks. I guess that will happen anywhere.

I guess Mweb is a winner.

Support:
And I've found mweb support staff incompetent when they were blocking my incoming connections and no1 there could tell me why. So support always varies I reckon. Experiences can be good/bad etc. Support shouldn't really be needed if the service works properly.

think about it this way, how much would 40 prepaid gigs cost you? so i can't think of any isp that wants to make a loss month after month, unless you're paying over 1k.
