Avoid semi-shaped IS-based ADSL accounts and avoid being ripped off

Switching to Mweb next month, or should I?

According to me? No I am lucky if I get 20-30k on MWEB 4mb but on Axxess shaped accounts I get about 600k

Hells Bells, was just about to post about the horrible speeds I get with my new Axxesslite "Unshaped" and now I can see what the problem is. Is the consumer protection bill active yet?

Well Mweb isn't really a Tier 1 provider cause to be a Tier one provider they would have free peering. But I bet you Mweb pays for peering. No international ISP will willingly peer with a South African ISP and not to mention how much local ISP's charge to peer with each other.

At this stage people generally get much better speeds on Mweb. I am also looking at moving over

Have you tried resetting the ports and resynching the line

How do you do this? :/
