I tried to get more details last night, but was told you're fully subscribed. Can that Uncapped account be traded for a 40GB Capped account? My IncConn 2MB UC account pretty useless during the day.

Hi Oreomitch,

Unfortunately the account cannot be traded. Hold tight for our launch though and you'll soon be able to enjoy the Crystal Web Experience...
 
I'm being lazy. Who provides the backbone for Crystal Web?

Crystal Web is backbone vendor neutral, in that we are able to create and manage custom products on multiple backbones. Our current uncapped accounts are running on the Cybersmart backbone which is performing incredibly well...

I'm pretty sure they mentioned earlier they are using Cybersmart's network (I stand to be corrected).
 
If someone quote you R559 for 10Mb then they made a mistake. Please let me know about it if this was the case...

Sorry - my bad - it was R549 - just checked again. No idea why that figure got stuck in my head.

Apologies.

4mbps or 10mbps? Sorry if I asked earlier, it's just I cant get above 500kbps on my 4mbps line with CW, but still lucky enough that I have my current AH account still, and that performs as it should.
 
We have a 2Mb Crystal Clear Uncapped account to give away for this month, courtesy of a generous forum member who sadly cannot make use of this account. Rather than a refund, he has generously asked us to donate it to a needy forumite.

Please post here why you'd like access to this account and we'll send it your way. Account goes to the person in need of it the most...

If the account is still available, can I please have it?
Using Incredible Connection at the moment.

I have a 10Mbps line.
Local speedtest is irrelevant as that is always so blazing fast.
I loaded another torrent now... One Week Friends Episode 9 from the fansub groups...
Downloading now at 301kbyte/sec peak... average 260kbyte/sec [GOOD ENOUGH FOR BUSINESS HOURS]

I could never do this in the last 2 1/2 years. The last time I could download during the day like this was before I moved from Little Falls and before Cybersmart became crap!

Yeah on my side all that happens are streaming from Netflix and what ever source xbmc gives me, 90% of the time it is nowvideo.sx though. My problem is every time I switch isp's in winbox I have to reconfig my mangle rules, because they are tied to x isp to manage my q's, and then obviously if CW's international is not sorted then my daughter starts to complain because spongebob is buffering and then my wife follows, why I am hoping they will update the international status of their package here lol.

Look, I had to do a lot of re-config myself.
I do a lot of work with embedded Internet Of Things and all sorts of home-made internet enabled crap here.
I had to reconfigure about 8 routers and I told the family to go off to the restaurant while I did this.
Took me 3 hours and I forgot some devices, such as my HP printer, which was still using OpenWeb's DNS servers. Those servers dropped on the weekend so I had major fun with my printer going apesh*t.

There are about 68 devices in my house, connected to the internet, but because I have a checklist, it takes me 2-3 hours to switch to a different ISP.

Wow ok, and I thought the 5 minutes it took me to re config mangle rules was long lol. But 68 devices, are you serious?

Voorsien jy die buurt van internet?

Why not just point all the devices DNS to your router so you only have to change it there?

I have done this before...it seems the primary router cannot cope.
I am looking for a solution. Have you got one.

As for the 68 devices... read my post again.... IoT
When the time comes I will expose some of these developments to the internet so that you can see for yourself.

Set up a BIND server somewhere then. Also, DHCP.

You should really give a Mikrotik router try, and leave the ADSL router in bridge mode only. Also disable wireless on the ADSL router and move it to the Mikrotik. That is what I have done. Really makes life a breeze. I can run multiple adsl accounts, different routing for devices on the networks ect.
