    Axxess shaping out of hand

    This is actually ridiculous now. I have used 90 GB's this month. 90. I pay for a 10Meg account and with the shaping, I hardly ever get above 2Mbps most of the time. Please, guys, I beg of you. Relax it with the shaping. It really does not make a love Axxess as much as I used to. I don't care if...

    Line Shaping, when you want it shaped.

    We have a bunch of ADSL lines running on Afrihost that we use for business purposes. Over weekends the line becomes nearly unusably slow, more or less 3-4 times slower than during weekdays. I'm pretty sure it's because of the line shaping being lifted by Afrihost. But is our massive...

    MWEB uncapped shaping Remote Desktop connections ?!

    I have recently configured my network at home so that I can remote desktop to my PC at home. I know that during the day shaped services on MWEB run at 10kb/s, which I can live with. My P2P is set not to exceed an upload rate of 16kb/s which should leave plenty of room on the 512kbps upstream I...

    MWEB shaping theory

    I recently had some time to check out how my 4mbps uncapped connection behaves during office hours and I think I maybe have found out how MWEB does shaping. From what I can see they pool all shaped services (webistes, p2p, newshosts) under the same speed limit. This is typically 10kb/s in...

    Best ISP to choose for uncapped account without heavy irregular shaping.

    Hi I joined Mweb in May 2010. In the first 2 months things went pretty well. I downloaded round about 68gig maximum per month. Then the international Seacom problem occured.

    Mweb "uncapped" proof of HEAVY shaping.Post proof of shaping from your ISP here.

    Ok, so this is my report for my download from MWEB uncapped 384kbps for August. What irritates me is that I'm leaving my computer on to download 24/7, but just have a look at how these guys are shaping my account. The first few months everything was running nicely, and I got a pretty steady 60gb...
