    I've had almost no issues with MWEB uncapped and gaming bar a few MMO games that were fixed shortly after pointing it out.

    Yeah, its been awesome for me on mweb uncapped. I have a small WA capped account which used to perform better than mweb for black ops, but now i never switch accounts. Mweb all the time.

    Unless you are with web africa you need to worry about gaming or insecurities. Mweb actually has a team to optimize gaming traffic, well so they've said and so far I'm happy with the results. The days of multiple accounts for multiple things are so lank over.

    Ya, haven't touched my Afrihost and FNB free gig backup accounts since going with Mweb. It's nice not having the hassle.

    I'm on Mweb and generally have very good gaming performance. I think ISPs have really gotten into the whole gaming thing and have started paying attention to how games are prioritised on their networks.

    I don't know why they would say that, but I'm really happy since I switched to their WA Home Uncapped account (1mb).

    Seriously, when I'm on Mweb or IS servers, I tend to have the best ping out of 25 players, mine ranging between 8 to 30ms. Way better than my previous capped account. I've never managed to go over my rolling window however, so I may have to test that. But theoretically, if I punish the P2P traffic, I shouldn't see any affect on my gaming according to their AUP.
