Hey friends, for 2 years i had been using capped 2GB from MTN(modem). The connections is sometimes very crappy and i want for a long time uncapped but my mother says that if we buy uncapped i would get addicted to it and thats bad....but so i persuaded her to get us uncapped. I am from South africa

Should i get:

MWEB 4mbps uncapped(non-premiem so sometimes it will throttle real hard)
for about R450($43)

OR

MWEB 2mbps uncapped(premium so it won't throttle)
for about R510($48.5)\

My friend have the 4mbps non-premium and he downloaded about 18GB last week in about 2-3days im not sure if he kept his pc on downloading.... and after that he played BF4 online here in SA servers and his ping was about 40 and thats really low!
I am 15 years old school learner and would most of times play online about 3 days per weak.... i am going to play BF4 online... and also sometimes watch youtube videos so which one would be the best for me i am not a heavy downloader and wouldn't really attemp downloading games over about 10GB...So thank you people for your great support! Oya! i those prices are with ADSL connection aswell included line rental per month! tnx!!!

"MWEB 4mbps uncapped" is your best option for downloads, but multiplayer "MWEB 2mbps uncapped" is your best option, your choice.

Thank you, so what would i be able to download with a 2mbps line also should i stick with the premium product that is costs about double more...anyway how long would it approximately take a 10GB file to download from the internet if keep my pc 24/7 on.

really does depend, it is not always 2mbps, depends on the time and day, as it does vary. 10GB will take some time is all I can really say.

Even if your only getting half of the 2Mbps which is common 10GB should download 1-2days max on 1Mbps


Okey, and when i play BF4 online what will my ping currently be my rig
i5 4670
GTX 770 OC from gigabye
2 x 4GB Vengeance corsair ram????
i hope my ping will atleast always be less than 50

Oya i will also be the only one using the ADSL connection the entire month so i assume that nothing else will bother the router from giving me the best internet performance
