I'm in the market for an uncapped 384k account and was wondering if anyone could help me in deciding which option is the best. The 3 i've been looking at are:

1) Afrihost - 384k Uncapped - R197/m
2) OpenWeb - Uncapped Unshaped LITE 384k - R196/m
3) Axxess - JustUncapped 384k - R196/m

I have been leaning towards the Afrihost one as i have one of their free 1gb accounts and haven't had a problem with it and they seem like a good ISP (generalization). If anyone could share advice or experience with either of the accounts or ISP's it would be very helpful.

Thanks.
 
Afrihost is not bad hey if your going to download a lot make sure they put you on the Is.Uncapped account from the start.

Openweb worst support service ever. I would say stay away.

Axxess Awesome as well for gameing.
 
Yeah i'm with afrihost. I download plenty and have never had any problems. Gaming is also great, no problems with lag or anything
 
very happy here with axxess uncapped. I use it for gaming mostly, and the line runs at full <spit> speed always. I think for them there isnt much point in throttling a 384k line. downloads though, not so good. they appear to know when you are downloading from a p2p site, and then they throttle it. guessing something to do with ports?
 
I had a terrible time with my Afrihost 4MB uncapped account. Seldom would I get full line speed on Steam, Youtube would be slow, and worst of all, I would be dropped from StarCraft II matches quite frequently.

Don't even bother with torrents on that account.

I'm with MWEB now and have been mightily impressed with them. Consistently get full download speed via Steam (I think it might be slower during the day though), and latency to Bad Company 2 servers are also very low. Have not been dropped or experienced any lag playing StarCraft II or any other game for that matter.

Highly recommended.

What speed do you get on average. Mweb for me is dismal.
 
I'm on a 384 mweb uncapped account and regularly get 38-40kb/s download speeds (when I actually download) whilst playing wow and forum trolling I generally have about 180ms. So it's pretty awesome :P
