Some background...
So for a while, i have been using MTN's uncapped broadband lite service.
This doesnt exist anymore, but i was/am paying R300 a month for this service, which i dont think is unreasonable.
This has a soft cap on 3GB, and then throttles the speed, but i can still download quite a bit.
I also have a dual sim option, so also have a sim in my ipad mini which allows data on the go of course.
However, my contract has now expired and its now on a month to month basis.
But i dont trust MTN as far as i can see them, and can see i might end up with shit.
Now, i am trying to get my head around ADSL.
Im thinking, most of my browsing / downloading is done here at home, so why not get a better service.
So, if i understand correctly, i need 3 things to get the ball rolling:
A Telkom line,
an ADSL line,
data through a service provider.
Am i correct?
Then, what are your opinions on Web africa?
Im looking at their 40GB home capped package, which i understand doesnt get shaped or throttled in any way, unlike uncapped packages.
Also, it has 40GB free at night, and is only R149pm.
Plus if i take a 2MB ADSL line through them, it only costs R150pm.
What else should i be looking at?
any other advice?
just as an aside.. I dont use more than 40GB with my ipad and computer combined, and the web africa comes with 80GB, so i think thats a good package. plus, i would rather get that than the 15+15GB package then realise its not enough and have to buy more data!
Cheers,
N
