Hi Guys and Girls
I'm sure this has been dicussed but I'm new to this kind of thing, so what I'm asking is, what would be the best internet options for online gaming, I see that Mweb have to appealing options which is either 1mb line speed uncapped for R550 or 4mb line speed with 15GB cap, inclusive of line rental, I do enjoy to download a bit so would a 1 mb line be sufficiant for online gaming? Or are there any other members here that no of any other options?

1mb is fine for gaming, it's your upload speed that matters when gaming online and there isn't much difference between a 1mb/4mb/10mb line

What DP said.

My line rental through Telkom is R435 p/m and i pay R19 per gig uncapped through Axxess, never had any issues. I've once asked Telkom to drop my line speed from 4mb to 1 mb and then to 2mb as I had a very unstable online experience, then I'll play with no lag, then with plenty etc. when I was on 4mb. 2 mb is the most stable for me as I'm a bit far away from the exchange apparently and it cause high speed lines to be unstable. That will now change in my new house, apparently between 6 - 8mb is what I'll be getting due to me being closer to the exchange, but it wont be a noticable difference when it comes to online gaming, downloading should be quicker though.

1mb should be fine for gaming. No matter what line you get just keep in mind that you should generally stick to local players, international match making is 50/50. Firstly it's tough to get into them sometimes (depending on what you're playing), secondly our latency is so high that it makes some games unplayable.

1mb is ok for downloading but if you want to watch streams or YouTube you'll likely have to keep it at 360/480p. Anything over that and it'll have to buffer frequently. Heck even on 4/10mb it can get jittery if your exchange is under heavy load.
