Lo peeps

I'm just wondering if the 9gig account is still unshaped like it used to be a while back?

It's sweet. It's addictive. Had to buy another 4Gb to feed the habit this month.

Bring on some extra bandwidth Iburst. I'm ready for you now... :cool:
 
9gig then another 4! You greedy git :).

I bet you're the reason interest rates keep going up with your spending habits! haha
 
hehehe, Gatecrasher wanna pay for an extra 6GB for me so that I can be upgraded to a 9GB package as well??? Would be greatly appreciated ;)
 
Is it just the G9 package that is shaped, or the G6 as well? Iburst should really consider changing it to unshaped if it isn't.
 
You mean the 9gig is Unshaped.

But no, the 6gig is just like the others, only the 9gig gets that advantage.
 
If you already have the G6 I think another R200pm is worth it for an extra 3 Gigs and going to unshaped.

On the other hand, broadband in SA is waaaay too expensive. So keep my initial statement within in that context...

Worth it, on a comparative basis, but not cheap.
 
Nothing in SA cheap so you dont have to feel bad :p

How about they make every package unshaped? but I guess that it actually up to Verizon, and as they use SAIX, it is once again Telkoms fault, if SAIX went unshaped like IS we would surely be unshaped too.

I'm fairly certain that the shaping is imposed by Iburst's packet sniffing software, regardless of the identity of the upstream provider. On ADSL services, ISP's essentially resell SAIX or IS shaped/unshaped bandwidth packages. Iburst, on the other hand, purchase an entire bandwdith pipe (maybe 200Mbps - completely unshaped) through which they will then try to cram as many users as possible.
