Wireless Internet (Best Option)

Don't know any specific CT providers but you sure you want to go wireless? Tends to give a lot of problems speaking from experience.
 
If i were you i would stay away from wireless internet...

With wireless you need a excellent antenna to get a average / worth while performance. *With wireless technology u need very good signal strength and signal quality and also have a nice tower that don't give alot of problems*

Ur currently on wireless, from my experience you want to change to something else. Causeyur wireless is doing the following :

You keep disconnecting from Irc servers, or online gaming, or your internet just laggs for long times, or get huge ping spikes.

Your download speeds fluctuates all the time, then giving you 10kb per second, then 3kb per second, then like 1kb etc..etc *rollercoaster ride from hell*

Also your maybe getting alot of downtime / disconnections frequently??


How's my guess going thusfar ??

*smiles*..

Get ADSL bro. Its pricy and its telkom ye, but at least u can expect better speeds *rather the devil u know....*

Any specific options when I go for ADSL? I don't want less than 384k. Which ISP?

I'd recommend 384k with WebAfrica Prepaid (depending on your usage patterns)
The prepaid account rolls over bandwidth indefinitely.

And as mentioned elsewhere on this forum there is no charge to upgrade your ADSL line if you find you need the speed.
 
384K = R245 per month for the ADSL line rental
512K = R362 and 1mbit = R516(wich is 4mbit atm *uber fast*)


ISP wize. People like webafrica alot, cause of the prepaid factor, and they are pretty quick too in getting u an account.

For me personally, i like my Openweb 2gig international/30gig local accounts. Specially nice if you get alot of stuff via local sources.

The thing that p**SS me off the most is the fact that my MSN connection fails 60% of the day.

MSN seems to be very sensitive to latency and congestion, especially if you use the actual MSN client.
