Capped versus uncapped ADSL

Oh man, this guy still trying to push this BS? He was chewed up and spat out on techcentral pushing his "uncapped is not sustainable" agenda. Just because HIS company can't do it, doesn't mean it's not possible.

250GB is no longer good enough.

Frankly, I'd settle on a 150GB (minimum) unshaped softcap after which throttling occurs with the option to pay to unthrottle for every couple of gigs or whatever after.

At least if we can reach that point we can only improve on it.
 
I'd take a 150gig account if it was priced right over these lucky packet uncapped offerings we have grown used to.

a lot of mweb 4 meg users do 150 gig without trying so yes uncapped does exist.
 
I really wish there were better high-cap packages out there. It seems like the only decent one is the RedAfrica special, and even that's just a promotional account so it doesn't count. Would like to see 50GB increments - 50/100/150/200GB etc., at something like R1.50-R2/GB, but none of the peak/off-peak nonsense.

/dream
 
I would love to see some of these high cap products! Bring it on, please!
 
If this is the case and he is really worried about how fair the uncapped product is, why Mr.Nobrega does not bring to the market 50Gb for let's say R.100, 100Gb for R.200 and 250Gb for R.400. I'm sure a lots of people will sign and it will be fair. Till then all of this talk is just cheep PR and sorry to say fart in the wind
 
When I first got onto Mweb Uncapped 4mb, my usage was around 200 - 250gb, but now it's settled to around 150 quite comfortably, so if I could get a solid 200gb thats unshaped, it'd be just fine.

Now that I'm caught up on all my series, the weekly episodes + youtube and other downloads don't add up to much anymore. If torrents were unshapped on a 200gig account for what I'm paying now, it'd be great. Off course paying less would always be welcome - but this would be a nice start.
 
In my house 4 people are using the line with consumption of 70 to 130 GB. I'd call that reasonable. Mweb has a great product. At 539 a month I am happy, however, the Telkom portion, R413 + voice results in the overall cost being really high.
 
Anyone find it ironic that when using OpenWeb (not sure of other iSPs but do correct me) you can switch to the Altech backbone which is uncapped :p

This fellow is smoking something not good for him :D.

There are capped and uncapped solutions to meet user needs so he should gtfO...

Fair enough with those who would like 150GB accounts but only time will tell if those will come soon :)
 
Obviously the big downloaders will disagree, but I agree totally with what he's saying.

I'd be happy with 2meg adsl with 50gb data for R500. If only.
