From what I've picked up over some time now is that most people recommend either WA of AH. Can someone please give me the pros vs cons of these two? Two things I've picked up, I think, is that AH seems to be cheaper than WA. WA though seems to be offering their free content on Steam thingy, which would be very cool once it's up and running. But what other benefits does the one hold over the other?

Some insight here would be greatly appreciated.
 
Afrihost is WAAAAAY cheaper than WebAfrica. If you sign up for a 10GB account, the price for that 10GB is locked in for life, at R29 per GB (or cheaper if prices drop again). You also get to topup at R29, or R14.50 per GB when it is on special, which seems to be very often nowadays. Other providers will charge you R40-R50 per GB in bundle, and top-ups are more expensive, at R50-R70 per GB. Afrihost's pricing is simple. Low per GB costs, anytime, all the time, except when the topup's are even lower at R14.50 per GB.

Afrihost support is good, but WebAfrica support is better, in my experience at least. Hold time with WebAfrica is much less than with Afrihost.

WebAfrica's prices really suck, even after their recent price adjustments, which everyone was expecting to be revolutionary.

EDIT: I just lost 5GB of Afrihost bandwidth coz I forgot we in February with only 28 days. :-( Thought I would use it up on Monday/Tuesday.
 
Ok, any other views? Or possibly other ISP suggestions? I've heard good things about Mweb? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D :D :D
 
So no other remarks, comments, observations, advice, wisecracks? Where are all the people today?
 
With Afrihost since they launched their special and never looked back. Cannot comment on their support because there was never a problem.
 
Web Africa used to be the recommended ISP because of great service and innovation, but these days they are trying to compete with Mweb, asking R70.00 per gig, sorry I forgot about the price drop its R69.00 per gig now.

Web Africa is now one of the more expensive ISP's and it would be daft to sing up with them when there are a lot of other ISP's with cheaper prices.
 
There are G connect and myisp that are cheaper than Afrihost. With Gconnect its R389 for 27GB and myisp is R20/GB. But I'm sticking with the guys who started everything. :)
