Wanting to move from Telkom to...

[Anakha56]

So since Telkom is doing away with soft capping I am looking for an alternative ISP to sign up with. My only requirements are A: 512kbps (minimum, currently have "4"mbps) ADSL line with B: An international cap of 5GB and more if possible.

I would also prefer the options to include the whole line rental fee. My 2 options which I have found are:

Looking at the shaped 10GB but I noticed it does not say anything about A: Line Speed and B: Local Cap?

Same goes for SAOL.

I wont be gaming that much online so shaped is fine for me. However I do enjoy the speed so that why I am only looking at 512 and higher.

Currently the dobroadband level 3 package is R554 without line rental (from what I can gather and remember from our Telkom bill).

What other options should I consider? Ideally I would love to get as far away from Telkom as possible eg: get no Telkom bill at the end of the month because phone calls will be made form cellphone.

Well Ibusts Service has dramatically improved since last year

We are on the extreme package. We buy a booster every 2 months.

And its setup to throttle our cap rather than charge per meg if we exceed it.

Do you have a modem router or moden + seperate router?

Cybersmart's "NightRider" is worth looking at. You pay an extra R25/month and they count only a fifth of what you use between 1am-8am. e.g. download 5gb and it only counts 1gb.

Last month I used almost 10Gb, while only paying for 5gb.
