384K uncapped account troubles

everyone likes me! my dog likes me! my cat likes me! my mother likes me! my girl-fiend likes me

even LOL@Uguys likes me... there see a twinkle it its eye:)
 
Im so glad this thread is finally funny! The dudes were all like moaning and fighting.
 
Its funny how much ppl who have so much can bitch, some poor dudes are sleeping in the street tonight and here I am moaning about the ISP rate-limiting my connection.
We all supposedly advocate this "democratic system" (which is actually a lie) and end up enslaved by the corporates.

How much has really changed in good old south Africa since our new found democracy- sweet f$%k-all

The rich get richer, the middle class get screwed and the poor are too busy worrying about where they are going to sleep tonight to care.

And worst of all my connection IS still slow...!!!@!!
 
Either which way, lets see what the outcome will be on Friday, I'll get some feedback from IS hopefully by Thursday.
 
Express Uncapped: The Express accounts are subjected to usage monitoring by Internet Solutions. The service is allocated a certain threshold for the month which is divided into a 10 day rolling window. If you reach your 10 day threshold before the 10th day, your available bandwidth will be halved (e.g. 512 kbps will be reduced to 256 kbps). However, if your consumption is reduced, your bandwidth will be restored to the purchased level.

It seems like ODS has gotten word back from IS :(

You can get the info on their site: http://www.ods.co.za/Services/uncapped_adsl.asp

Keoma, I think your announcement that "All ISP's that sell uncapped accounts will have this applied to them" is unfounded. You and I are both aware that each individual ISP's has their own deals with Internet Solution and based on volumes. However should Internet Solution impose this on Online Digital Solutions we will refund clients on a pro-rata rate of unused days. Further to this we will provide alternative uncapped solutions not subject to 12 month contracts

Seems like it does apply to ODS?

But I must admit I do like their above mentioned policy as well as the Business Uncapped option without any contracts or setup fees :)
 
I am sorry to have to say that we have not been able to negotiate around this with Internet Solutions and such it will become effect 1 August on our express accounts, on this basis we have decided to look at providing an alternative solution to our clients which would be the business DSL furthermore we have agreed to not charge a set-up fee which is a market first ! even though we make a loss on it for a long period, keeping our customer happy is what our business is about.
 
Personally, I have to say that the service I have gotten from ODS so far has been great, but it is still sad that they couldn't get anything sorted with IS.

Is there no way to bring out a 384k business DSL? The very month I finally get ADSL and an "uncapped" account IS decides to bring in this threshold business. Getting a 512k business DSL account would be kind of a waste on a 384k line.
