    Post Is it worthwhile to get Screamer?

    As the title says. Will I have as much crap with Screamer wireless as what I am currently having with Iburst.

    I seriously have to move away from IWorst, but I am scared of the gaming aspect on screamer.

    I reckon you should read the thread on MyBB. http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...er-ADSL/page99 (I wouldn't bother to read it all, go back some pages).

    I also thought about getting Screamer when I got my internets up and running...
    though after reading through the thread in question and many other related threads, i came to the conclusion that Screamer might give more trouble than its worth...
    So I went with Afrihost, and apart from a few niggles (and most seems to be Telkom related) i am happy with them.
    If the few extra bucks you save really means that much, then go with Screamer, otherwise rather go for an ISP that has a proven track record
    But it really helps to read the forums to get an overall view of things.

    Thanks for your help guys.

    I wanted to go the Telkom route, but my understanding is you pay R152 (384k line) line rental and then another +R140 additional line rental which comes to almost R300 without even any bandwidth yet.

    The Do packages with the line and bandwidth included is a bit better, or should I say cheaper.

    Stay away! My boss canceled his screamer line this week because it's just atrocious. Have a look at www.sainet.co.za rather, save yourself the headache.

    Thanks for the replies Today is the day I cancel my Iburst, even if I have to go a month without internet after I get disconnected.
