Thanks for the feedback!

My the one blame for all those "Internet Selling Penny-pinchers" is one well known fact: ISP NEVER PAYS FOR BYTES, they buy SPEED! I.e. Megabytes per second. So... WTF they LIE AND CRY in front of us?!! Fusk 'em....
If provider sit on 10Mbit channel (yep, funny) and sells this bandwidth as "4Mbit" to 100 customers, OF COURSE this idiot will never provide proper speed! Hell, where is the law for these slyboots? If I pay for 1Mbit, I must be guaranteed that any time my speed is what exactly I paid for! And all those 'antipirate/antitorrent' games is just a sh*t to reduce our rights and excuse their terrible service.

Its called contention.

Can some one using it in the CT region, Rondebosch/Newlands/Claremont give me latency figures and reliability?

For the 1mb uncapped, is it 1up-down?

No, I'm on 3meg and hover around the 35k mark when uploading. All protocols are throttled on the uncapped package so I get anywhere between 1.5 and 3 meg down.

Can you game on the package? to local servers. Isgaming in particular

It is a rebadged M-Web uncapped account.

Not too sure because I don't game online anymore. I would think yes on the capped package because it's not shaped. Check out my speed and ping tests on the "I HATE Telkom" thread, that's when I was on the 2 meg capped package. And yes, uncapped is via Mweb.

Thanks.

I called them a few minutes ago, the Technician said on the Capped Packages there are lots of gamers and Latency would be good, but he is not 100% sure on the uncapped Solution.

Can you please ping 196.38.180.45 around this time of the day as well as after 8 pm and paste it please.

Hi did you ever get Amobia? If so how was it...im currently in Claremont and looking for a Telkom alternative.

Can some one using it in the CT region, Rondebosch/Newlands/Claremont give me latency figures and reliability?

For the 1mb uncapped, is it 1up-down?
