Afrihost 50GB vs Uncapped

I can merely comment on my usage:

I use IDM's probably everytime and I get full speeds from file hosts (what I use since I don't use torrents) where as on my Mweb Uncapped I get throttled pretty bad.

I can't comment on international gaming cause I won't game with what internet connections we have in SA.

Can you please paste a speedtest.net - nyc?

Afrihost:


4Meg line

Speakeasy
3.67Mb Down - 0.38Mb Up Afrihost
3.20Mb Down - 0.38Mb Up Mweb

Thanks shogun / Off-The-Chart, appreciated! - Mmn need to investigate as WA has spoilt me with the higher speeds and latency...

another reason why I would go with the capped rather, is because it isn't speed bound.

so whatever your line speed, that will be the account speed.

Yeah, but bear in mind that you are running a 10Mb line. My folks are running a 10Mb line (Afrihost), and they get far better results than me. I'm posting off a 4Mb line. My results are naturally going to be limited due to my line. I don't think the difference between our two tests has much to do with WA giving you better speeds than Afrihost would. Also, some of it may be due to the server I chose. I found the speakeasy server and got these results to the NY server:

Upload Speed: 283 kbps (35.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

I can't find a speedtest link to paste on that site, so I pasted the results on the page. That's pretty much my line's maximum throughput. I would expect if I had a 10Mb line, and was close enough to the exchange to get max speed, the results would be close to line max to NY as well.
 
yeah also unfortunately not on an exchange that supports 10Meg :(

but would be same as what shogun mentioned.
