I know some ISP's do display their thresholds, we prefer not to as his open the system up to abuse. We're happy to give an indication, but giving specific values has not worked well for us or other ISP's in the past.

Yeah, just a pity tho since if I had known this before I signed up I would have known that there was no way it would support a household of 3 steam users on a sale. ^.^ Thanks Afriman
You're asking a lot for a 1Mbps line, IMHO. Maybe think about upgrading to 4Mb. Will make a pretty big difference, I imagine.
Yeah was on 4MB/10MB for many years, used to pull 300+GB with steam so your accounts there will also not be sufficient. Thanks tho.
What a few users have done is sign up for the 10Mbps product on a 4Mb line, allows them to access 450GB+ before hitting the throttle, and also if they do exceed, only feel throttle at 4Mbps. 10Mbp also never throttles below 2Mbps. Maybe in your case, you could opt for the 4Mbp data account, which never falls below 1Mbps, so essentially you would never be throttled on a 1Mpbs line.
A bit more expensive, but if you wanna hit big data targets, that be the way of things

The WA tool allows you to reset your port and set your line sync speed.
As far as I'm aware, it is something we are interested in offering, but at this stage we don't have anything in development for the current version of ClientZone.
Will definitely make this suggestion to our designers/developers and see if it's something they can plan for future versions.

AfriMan is there a restriction (like MWeb) with regards to SSL connections on Usenet?
As far as I'm aware, we don't have any restrictions on Usenet or news servers. Best to send me a more detailed query so I can check with our server admin. Just drop me a PM

@Afriman, can you tell us what we can expect in terms of the upgrade from 1mb to 2mb by telkom?? will the current 1mb be converted to 2mb at the same price or can we expect to pay more??
At this stage, I haven't been given a definitive answer, so I don't want to make promises or cause unnecessary panic. You can be assured that this is being discussed and researched and we will prioritise our clients needs first. Telkom still have not given us a definitive answer on the pricing changes, we had an extensive meeting with them recently, so that is a big hinderance to making an official announcement.

thanks Afriman, will be giving afrihost a try for August and hopefully we can get some positive news about the 2mb upgrade soon ... as the way it stands, mweb is cheaper for a 1mb bundle!!

I can promise that we have something in the pipeline that will be awesome, but at the moment it's pretty much under wraps. When we launch our new prices/products, it will make a splash, I'm pretty sure.
Anyone in CPT currently experiencing slow speeds? Usually full 10mbit at this time of day, but I can barely manage 350k/sec at the moment and speedtest is all over the place. Waiting on a support ticket to be answered by Afrihost - but just wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing.
Got your PM, did the speeds degrade again after your last message?
