Best ISP for streaming

[nadeem_k]

Our entry level products also don't shape streaming traffic. But heavy overall usage in peak periods will result in stricter shaping on other protocols applied, like restricting p2p entirely and releasing it after midnight. Or limiting http download speeds in a stricter fashion. Browsing, streaming, and non-download protocols remain untouched.

Does this mean the priority on the entry level unshaped basic has the same priority as the unshaped uncapped for streaming?

No, but streaming on our entry products is not shaped. That doesn't mean it retains the same priority overall on the network as other products do, which is why other products cost a little more.

But the entry product streams incredibly well, no matter what we throw at it.

I wish more ISP's would adopt CW's policy - one should not have to pay for a business account to stream. I guess this is one way of trying to improve profits.

I was addressing Netflix and TwitchTV streams in particular. Web Africa never shapes on streaming YouTube.

I hope Afrihost is reading this

They are, they just don't give a **** about their customers anymore

Our policy is that you should never require a "business" account to watch YouTube.

I say kudos to you and keep it up
