So i was wondering as i see alot of people unhappy with their ISP for various reasons. Its not an easy choice for some, if they have had enough to leave, or if they are happy and have no reasons to leave

But when would you decide to move? or will you stick it out in the hope that things get better. Would be interesting to see what people have to say. Below are some questions, straight forward questions.

ISP: Afrihost

Are you happy: Yes

Reasons: pricing, and general interaction with the reps, and just no issues with them. Great portal in the Client zone.

Would you recommend them: yes, absolutely

Would you move: no, not anytime soon.

Rating: 8/10
 
ISP #1: Crystal Web

Happy: Not particularly.

Reason: Lost 500+GB in 4 days and CW insist it was used on my end. I'm unconvinced - no suspicious activity on the wifi & bandwidth monitoring apps absolve my PCs of blame. And I had no degraded service during all that data use.

Recommend: Yep. Their network is damn good.

Would I move: Yes, only because I would move from any ISP under the appropriate circumstances.

Rating: 8/10 (10/10 until end of last month)


ISP #2: Afrihost

Happy: Not particularly

Reason: I love the doubled data, midnight to 6pm uncapped data, 500MB mobile data, pricing and Clientzone, but I am so damn tired of performance issues. Hasn't been a few days and Youtube streaming has gone to hell.

Recommend: Probably not.

Would I move: Yes, same reason as above.

Rating: 6/10
 
ISP: Telkom Internet

Are you happy: Very happy

Reasons: Network stability, double data and the best thing ever; an integrated data simm.

Would you recommend them: Yes, which would include a warning if they ever need to contact suport.

Would you move: No, I'm receiving a very good service.

Rating: 9/10 :)
 
ISP: Telkom Internet

Are you happy: sometimes

Reasons: integrated data sim makes me happy, but constant line issues makes me unhappy

Would you recommend them: Yes and no

Would you move: No, but only only because of data sim
