Uncapped vs Capped ADSL
Do capped ADSL accounts offer better performance? ISPs explain what the difference is between their capped and uncapped ADSL products
I'm struggling to get downloads going on mweb news server. Last nite I was peaking at 110kb/s on 1MB line and from this morning till now its either timing out or downloading at 0.1kb...
Anyone else experiencing this??
N.B. I received their "YOU EXCEEDED YOUR UNSTIPULATED FAIR USAGE AMOUNT" email
This weekend I had to move some of my PhpBB3 instances off Mweb uncapped and back onto my old Host4Africa space. It seems there is a huge performance problem on Mweb side. If you submit more than one request to the server you get a 500 error.
Even static HTML sites fails to load because there...
The story behind MWEB ADSL abuse notices
MWEB’s warning to users that “we may have to slow down your Internet speeds” caused an outcry online, but there are good reasons for these warnings
Hi, I tried to migrate my max25 contract to uncapped, but Iburst to me I can't do it. Which I don't understand since another guy I spoke to said he did the exact same thing. Is he mistaken, or did I just get the wrong info from Iburts?
So after much research and good recommendations I got Amobia to come and do a sight test at my premises. But, unfortunately it was unsuccessful. I do not have direct line of sight to rosebank (I''m on a bank) nor to the CBD. The only big building I look out the window at is the SABC building in...
Hi Guys,
I stay in a complex in Parkwood/Rosebank area in Joburg. After 8 months of being on 3G here I am pretty sick and tired of it. Doesnt look like telkom will be bringing fixed line access here any more so looking into other solutions.
I used to run on an uncapped ADSL line and...
Hey
I have recently moved into a new apartment in Fourways on the second story of a building, since then I get horrendous MTN speeds (on the uncapped lite R289 package). Some days I cannot even open a facebook page as it times out. The best download speeds I have seen is 160kbps.
Question...
Hi,
I currently have a 4MB line with Telkom as ISP. I also have a data bundle of 20Gig per month. I am increasingly using my adsl line for movies (iTunes mostly) and thus I am considering an uncapped line. BUT, I have the following concerns:
1. Telkom tells me that the line will be shaped...
Hi guys,
I am currently on a 4Meg uncapped with MWEB and have been using another company for my ADSL Line Rental. I have recently moved to an address that does not have an infrastruture for Telkom. That means no internet. Is there a solution I can look at to solve this issue I am faced with...
So I have a 1MB line with Telkom. My internet since March has been horrible. In the evening i can't even browse on Google.co.za with no downloads in the background.
So I complained with MWEB(my isp), and they done a test with the Telkom Guest account to do a speed test on saix.net. The speed...
Ever since the big problem with the saix cable thing I have been able to connect to my vpn in Romania but I can't ping anything. ping -c 2 8.8.8.8
From 10.8.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable
I read somewhere that this can be an isp related problem. I saw posts on mybroadband...
Hi guys,
I did some research, but not sure which the ISP is the most stable one, I am currently with Telkom capped (10GB 1mb line) and I pay R450 per month, Is it possible to get uncapped for a similar price or even?
Thanks in advance
I'm serving my notice period with MWEB so I thought I'd see what my "Premium" Uncapped account can really do. I've been downloading some um... err... Linux Distros and what not 24/7 for a couple of weeks now. On Thursday I received my first ever "Abuse" notification from MWEB (been on Uncapped...
I've searched but can't find a useful answer. Maybe somebody here can give us guidance. Rpm, you've covered the cpa in the past, any comments/suggestions?
My question: Does the 5 days cooling off period apply to electronic transactions as well and what is the effect when buying uncapped...
On a 1MB uncapped ADSL account. Which would be the best isp for downloading torrents and p2p files in the night. (From 9pm - 6am)? And can somebody if they don't mind explain to me what NZB and news servers are and how it benefits you guys when downloading. Thank You.
Let's see how much you have downloaded in the year of 2012 ONLY.(For torrents give a separate amount, eg 250GB's of torrents) lol.. Wonder if anyone passed 1TB? #JustCurious
It's just another day with a slow speeds, high latency, intermittent packet drop, congested exchanges, and poor customer service and now I have to ask.. Is this the end of ADSL in South Africa?
Since the 12 Oct I've had the above issues with my DSL line. ISP blames Telkom, Telkom doesn't...
