Thread: MWEB uncapped 1 mbps question.

  1. #1

    Default MWEB uncapped 1 mbps question.

    Okay,

    So I downloaded about 50 gig so far via my axxess 1mbps uncapped account.At night its ok
    and torrents fly, but during the day I`m severely throttled and they(isp) are not happy.
    How much Gb does Mweb allow to be downloaded per month before being throttled?
    I`m going to do the 7 day trail, I but don`t want to abuse it.

    Regards

    I download on average 60gb per month but have downloaded over 100gb some months. I have never been throttled (Read MWEB's AUP) but protocols is prioritised.

    The shaping is so bad, during the day I can hardly go into gmail, use google, open up web pages ect.
    They said I downloaded too much and advised me not to use my account for a few days.
    That is bs.

    I have done about 170GB in a month.

    I'm fairly happy with them. Browsing is good anytime. Youtube videos must wait a while before you play them. Gaming is fair, LoL ping is ±210. Dota2 runs good and I also have no trouble with CS:GO. I download around 100-120gb per month.

    I am at around 200g every month.

    That's not running all the time.

    They do not throttle you on use, I swear this comes up so much, it's almost as if there's a conspiracy going on...

    Have to say I am very happy with this account. 120 gigs in May and 150 in June. Great performance 99% of the time (more than happy with the 1% which is still not bad performance at all) Browsing great; youtube no problems.

    I leave it up to MWeb to slow me down if needs be; my downloads are via news servers.

    I think the OP was referring to his Axxess account not MWeb.

    Yeah, realized this just a second ago, still it does come up often.

    I used mweb since they started uncapped and I will never change to another isp. Mweb all the way.

    Have been on 1mb uncapped since april. I pull an average of 70GB a month. I barely even notice shaping, I get about 60KB/s on torrents during the day and about 110KB/s at night.

    Also, steam downloads fly and I get a ping of 16ms to their GMZ servers.
