Dear ISP's

I am a lowly downloader, i dont download much, in fact i rarely even get to 20gb in a WHOLE LONG MONTH (I know crazy hey), what I would really like is 30gb capped account (yes you heard me, capped) running at my full line speed for a princely sum under R200, that would be really awesome!

You just seem to be catering for these heavy downloader type people, so please please mr ISP sir, please make a lekker 30Gb account for us low end users, we'd appreciate it.

PS: But then I guess people like me wouldnt subsidise the heavy downloaders, thereby making this uncapped thing "unsustainable", "unsustainable" thats the new ISP catch word, isnt it?

Oh well, spare me a thought,

Cheers

Because most uncapped users will end up doing under 30Gb in any case.

Why get a 30Gb for under R200 when you can get uncapped for under R200?

I suspect he means on a 4Mb line.

You are correct but the fact that he repeatedly referred to himself as lowly I assumed he'd be satisfied with a 384k line ;)

Wrong, "lowly" referring to low data usage, not line, thats why i specifically said "full line speed" :-)

Now PTOGFO (oops, sorry wrong forum, habits die hard)
 
Say for instance my needs are only 30gb or 60gb per month as I don't download terrible amounts of data. Why should I pay more for those 30/60gb's than the person with an uncapped connection at a lower speed that can anyway then download more than my 30/60gb's per month?
my needs are fast reliable internet at around 60gb which is totally too expensive unless I go uncapped and maybe get stuck with a contention ratio double of what any other account has. 50gb would cost me over R2000. Something doesn't look all to nice in this picture.........
 
Excatly, i want cheap fast internet, we still getting hammered, but its getting better.

i want to surf youtube or stream tv (have u tried to do that on a 384k connection...not cool), but to do this i am being forced to a) pay per gb or b) get uncapped.

yeah picture is wrong.
 
get 2 11gb acounts from WA for 99 x 2 = 198.00 rand.........
 
Good deal but not good enough. Uncapped 4mb = R499 55gb from WA (5 x 11GB's) = R495 still a very skewed picture

Good idea, but isnt the 11gb accounts selective? I was given one,so can i buy more.

So i can get 33gb for R300. Not great, but i guess at least i get full speed.
 
The idea that I'm trying to bring across Chunky Feather is thet on a 384 line you can do more than 60gb per month so why should we pay more than R200 for 60gb just because we have a faster line?
 
Vl@d, i agree with you 100%, we shouldnt have to pay more cos we are on a faster line.

They should actually sell us 30gb accounts for R99.
