that is when you live on the exchange, if you live more then 1km from the exchange then you would not have that kind of speed. i get 9k out of mine max, otherwise it kills my download rate. 9k upload then my download maxes...i know its in theory but that is with alot of things in your favour

You are misunderstanding.

a 384k line will NEVER EVER EVER go above 320k and 100k upload no matter how far so too with a 4mb line will NEVER EVER EVER go above 3500k download and 400k upload.

Lets put it like this.

384k Uncapped account.

If you use it with a 384k line you WILL not exceed 40kbs download. This is the maximum speed the line can go.
If you use it with a 4mb line you can get 48kbs download. This is the maximum speed the account can go.

i sometimes get bursts of up to 512 on my 384 line but not for long ... longest was about 30 min # just saying

btw people will get that tipe of gigs when they download via http...high end users on p2p sites. private and international sites. they have what you call seedboxes wich they have for uploading and downloading at very fast speeds. the stuff they download gets stored on the servers which they can download via http. i know a couple of guys who does that http gets shaped the least. and during the day its almost the whole time full speed

if you do that on MWEB's shaped packages you will get full speed
right up until they cancel your account for bypassing the shaping

don't know if Axes does the same

Not always the case

It does burst now and then

I currently have a Axxess uncapped 384K account. I am currently in the top 20% as the most I get from my line is about 150kbps.
What speed does the people get with 512K uncapped accounts that are in the top 20%.
If it is better I am thinking of getting a 512K account and use it on my 384K line.

These accounts allow up to a maximum of your ADSL Account speed if your Telkom ADSL line supports it. Eg: If you buy a 384Kbps account and have a 4096Kbps Telkom ADSL Line, you will only get speeds up to 384kbps.

Quote from Axxess to clear up that confusion. So the OP remains true.
