    ps .. no noticable difference whatsoever to my normal MWeb ADSL connection.

    Both connections feel like the same speed on all the sites I use on a daily basis.

    The question is which cable is being used by this leg.

    It might not be the Seacom cable. Is Internet Solutions hooked into Seacom?

    My tests are similar to DaveOB I don't know how to copy and paste results.
    My hope is that this will force others to lower their rates as this seems to be a loss leader strategy being followed by Afrihost. Maybe the volume discounts would help them?

    How is afrihost performing? Are you guys still using them? I see they are still doing 1G for R29 - I am being ripped R70/1G by webafrica and need to change now as they have really been messing around.

    Marq,
    Its working great for me I use one account for work and home. It looks like it is easy to top up but i have never needed that. Just make sure your DNS is set to auto if you sign up.

    do i understand this right...i pay 199 for 1 gig on a special from telkom now upgraded to 258 for 3 gig...and then get even more ripped when i use my 3G sim in my netbook...10 for 10 meg eeeeish....so what you saying is can the telkom adsl line and change to this host?

    cant say telkom offers a better service...when you call the help line the que is normally around 15 minutes...but they do caqll you back if they are not busy that day if you leave a number.

    why are so many people signing up with telkom do broadband bcause like me they dont know any better.

    You still have to pay telkom for the the ADSL line rental. It works for me as I run the business and home ADSL from the one account as you are allowed concurrent sessions (you can login with 2 different phone lines at the same time) This was slightly cheaper but a big to telkom. I see rates are coming down so shop carefully and see what the total cost is. Telkom still have the monopoly on the adsl lines.
    I also see that the local hosting companies are bringing down their cost of data transfer so I will soon be bringing my website back to local hosting. The cost are coming down which is good news.

    Ian, if you see it getting within 20% of hosting internationally, let me know. I'm quite happy to pay a 20% premium for local.
