I have a 384K line and signed up for the 384K uncapped last night and had it activated this morning.

HTTP browsing is fast, not faster than any other account but doable.
Torrents currently coming in at 10kBs (on a capped account same torrent is 40kBs)
Downloading from Nvidia.com comes in at 20kBs on other accounts is about 40.2kBs

Shaping literally half your speed away

Exactly this is ridiculous, I am only a 384K user how much damage/strain can I put on IS network? Will it be unshaped at night?
 
Hey, Linoman--thanks for posting this. I was waiting to see this before I signed up. Also note that Afrihost now offers 384K uncapped data only for R1 more than Axxess--

can someone do a similar comparison with Afrihosts uncapped 384K line?

It is a pleasure, I wanted to sign up with Afrihost but I thought their 384K uncapped was only coming out next week. I had deposited the money to Axxess before I realised that Afrihost had brought out their offer sooner.
 
Sometimes Youtube plays perfectly and other times it buffers. General surfing now has improved a hell of a lot. Internet Radio: 5FM PERFECT but try anything international and it plays fine for 30seconds then dies. FFS

Uncapped 384 and 4096 accounts
We have launched our dedicated 384 and 4096 uncapped accounts. This service runs on the same IS backbone as our other uncapped accounts (You'll find under the *Express list). This account is a 24 hour shaped service which means it will be perfect for normal internet activities in an office environment like web browsing and email. This account is not for heavy downloaders, P2P and news downloads and other similiar services will be heavily shaped.

This account is heavily shaped but at night it is much better! Could be happy like this!

Happy here also. But then again I don't play online games or download via Torrents. Most of my downloads are via rapidshare and the speeds are simular to my Express account. Plus must add I have not seen much diff with video streams. Overall very happy.
 
Linoman, do you play any games ? I play Battlefield Bad Company 2 online and would like some feedback on gaming with an axxess 384k uncapped account. I'm also interested in getting one, but not if my gaming is going to suffer from it.

Thanks

:)
 
Shaping in the day doesn't bother me so am hoping this account proves worthwhile. Otherwise will switch back to express+.

Rapidshare do you use a paid for version of rapidshare? I might have to ask you a couple of questions about Rapidshare as I have never ever really used it.

To be honest the only online game I used to play was Quake Live, I used to have no issues with it on Afrihost but I have not tried it with the uncapped account yet. What I will do I shall try it later and post back my findings.
 
So far I cannot get Quake Live to work at all, it never seems to load a map. I don't know if this is a configuration error on my PC or because of Axxess will continue and keep you updated. HTTP downloads in the day with a download manager are fine, run at about 35-40KBs. Torrents in the evenings are about 32KBs, a vast improvement over Saturday!
