Best 4mb Uncapped option for Gaming and Downloads?

Thats damn good. I get the same on my Afrihost capped account so there's minimal ping difference it seems from uncapped to capped.

The business uncapped accounts are unshaped and they get network priority so that's probably why :) I've tried all the different options and this is the best compromise for me I reckon.

Some of the accounts I've tried with Afrihost:
- 50gig capped at 10Mbps (Ran out of cap)
- 75gig capped at 20Mbps (Ran out of cap)
- 100gig capped at 10Mbps (Ran out of cap)
- Uncapped Home at 10Mbps (After a weekend of Steam downloads they shaped me to heck)
- Uncapped Business at 4Mbps - YouTube sometimes has to buffer, and if my room mate is playing games I can sometimes cause him to lag if I start doing heavier internet tasks, but ping wise for games and downloading have been great :)

At the moment I'm considering upgrading that to a 6Mbps Uncapped Business to try sort out those small issues, but at an extra R300 a month I could probably live without it :)

Do any of you have a account with open web, are they like telkom sometimes with problems?

I had one of their promotional gold accounts and a gamers account before.

Gold account was nice, but the gamer account was utterly crap. I got 3000ms ping in a local game and they kept blaming my exchange or PC, where Afrihost and other ISPs gave me 30ms ping. It was only a handful of people that had the issue.

Their prices are nice and all, but support kinda sucks in my experience

well wanted personal opinion since some don't share the limit on the site.

I just supplied the link, that doesn't necessarily mean I've been with either. In truth I've been with Axxess, for about a year, then went to Afrihost where I've been ever since.

I prefer unshaped above uncapped. I might only have 100Gb a month, but I run at a constant 9Mbps. If you leave for Afrihost, take a look at their bundle deals.

Guess I have to check on Mybb for some reviews on the openweb account.
 
Unfortunately my Dota 2 ping suffers on TI but it's been great so far for downloading. Not to mention the do Uncapped special is cheaper than what I was paying for 2mb uncapped with WA! :wtf: Granted I never had issues with latency on WA they were terrible for speed during the day. :(
 
I'm happy with my 2MB uncapped account from Axxess, and their 4mb accounts are not bad at all, we use their 4mb uncapped account at work.
