[QUOTE="BoerieZA, post: 801071, member: 18719"] Loads of experience, but I'll boil it down to this: Stay away from AfriHost if you're interested in stable fibre line speeds. WebAfrica is great (I use them) but they need to look at their pricing (which they probably will). CoolIdeas offers excellent pricing and service (I'm investigating the possibility of switching to them). Line shaping/throttling is NOT an issue on Vumatel fibre lines, no need to worry about that. Here's a timely article: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadband/224584-uncapped-adsl-and-fibre-south-african-isps-fair-usage-levels-and-throttling.html Looking at the article linked, AfriHost throttles a 100mb line once that line has hit 300GB in a month. That is flippen pathetic! I use 400GB per month on my 10mb ADSL line and I'm not torrenting anything. I'm streaming from iTunes and Youtube. So, please, stay the hell away from AfriHost. [/QUOTE]
