Well when it comes to straight pings if its also on IS there shouldnt be much difference. I found the mai difference was how long it took to reach speeds on speedtest.net and youtube streaming.

It fees quicker than my express+

I hope you guys realize that will tell you zip about shaping policy. These speedtest servers are right at the top of the shaping exclusion list :D This will tell you your linespeed and how much contention there are on the line, not much more.

so far so good... doesn't look like much shaping during day time well it could also be that this service is still too new.

I'm watching some Honda VFR1200 videos on Youtube at the moment. So far so good indeed.

Edit: HD videos are buffering after a while, not that good after all.

hey - I cancelled Afrihost to go to MWEB and am getting great speeds internationally (3.6Mbps from London). How fast is Afrihost?
All this uncapped competition is giving me goosebumps :)

Buffering but watchable indeed. I'm watching the HD version at 720p, so you might wanna expand that video out.
