When I saw it last night I was like OMG.

A little undecided at the moment. Latency is very important for me, so it all depends on what other MyBB folks think of it From what I've seen so far it's nothing to write home about latency-wise, but uncapped for R399 regardless is freaking legend. I could very well see myself getting it.

Yeah I am the same, if the latency's suck then it would be a waste for me, or in fact any online gamer.

Guess we will just have to wait and see.

i'm waiting for that first complaint thread and have a good chuckle thinking of the big boohoo and afrihost

still i would like to see how they do in month 1,2 and 3. apart from that it is good to see another isp going the 'R25 route'. it confirms that more than one actually can do this.

You bet your ass people are going complaining.

About 1 out of 10 of those complains are really something to complain about.
It happened to afrihost as well but if people would have just read then there would have been a lot less complaints.

I'm rather keen for this one - I don't do AS much online gaming anymore, since i'm focusing on my SP range...but it would be alot kief to restart my series downloads like I did back in the days of uncapped wireless...

Ok - I've just read through all 41 pages of the discussion thread.

It seems people have very mixed responses to the quality of the 384 lines. Also some issues regarding NAT and access to specific sites and whatnot.

Others say speeds are fine vs some comparing it to dialup (affected by the upstream they're pulling from?) so I'm going to wait a bit and see.

My biggest concern is if I cancel my 10GB Afrihost account and sign up for it now and it ends up sucking the bum, then to reapply for the Afrihost one will no longer be at the R290 special rate, but the more expensive one. :/

EDIT: Afrihost's R29/GB special is _STILL_ running it seems.

yeah afrihost is till the end of there year, so you can still test out this offering but I would have rather waited a bit longer then sign up with screamer.
