Have the same kind of request. going to be moving soon and want a really powerful line that can handle bandwidth for 3/4 pc's and a couple of Wi-fi devices. For some crazy reason though everyone seems to say that 8ta 3G is the best in terms of speed but that would be a massive pain in terms of cap etc.
If you have the budget and the right geographical area, VDSL 20mb should do, it's not that pricey, line + uncapped around R1400

That is quite pricey but I would love to get my parents to cancel Dstv and go for an awesome inline. *sigh* Pipedreams , but hope springs eternal
Yeah it is a bit heavy, I think it'll definitely become the norm in 3-5 years though...then it's time to get netflix,hbo,fox and all those sorts of streaming TV apps. NO MORE DSTV! I'll miss my sport though

Are you with them, if so how are the speeds? Can you link the deal page...I can't find it. I am with Mweb and the speeds are terrible. For the past few days I have been getting 0.3MB/s WTF? (I have a 4MB line)

I am with Telkom not on uncapped since I dont download much, but the reviews are very good with speed.
will look for the link when I get home and it works well for gaming too, I get 220 ms.
I also tried mweb a while back and was never happy with their speeds.
Currently I am with Afrihost, been really happy with them, their service is great and I average around 175GB per month on a 1 mb line. However for the past 2 weeks they have been shaping my account, as well as some of my friends' accounts, probably due to IPC issues and mweb people jumping ship to Afrihost 
.
If you were willing to spend the money for a 4 meg uncapped line though maybe you should go for a 2 meg business uncapped, which is guaranteed to have no shaping ever. Also I hear the line speeds are due to increase within the next few months so the 2 meg should go up to 4 by Feb/March.

nah its going to be phased. The majority of people are likely looking at 3 months+.
Personally I don't think a VDSL line is not absolutely necessary. 2mb and up are quite reasonable for the needs of most.
