South Africa offers broadband internet on the Telkom network but it works out expensive for the family if you do not run a business. Mweb is a service provider which offers enough width for you to enjoy emails, downloading a few things and it is slow but it works and is a lost cheaper than paying Telkom who will slow you down automatically once they see you are overusing. The price difference between the two is R200 to R300 difference which you could use for something else.
