Yes, that is how the accounts work. All data is unshaped for up to 400 gigs on some packages and thereafter certain large downloads are shaped during peak load times.

Which accounts are applicable to the 400gb unshaped download limit? What is the download limit for the 4mb/s uncapped account?

I honestly hope that 50MB is the limit for a 4 Mbs uncapped & unshaped portion of the account. Nothing pees me off more than a person that has a 4Mbs account and tries to push 1TB through it running it to the max 24/7.

I have a 20Mbs account but the speed is used for the convenience, not using the 20Mbs as the speed limit that I need to push 2 TB through it to get value for money! BTW I use about 350MB per month on the account.

please tell me you are meaning GB and not MB. who has a 20MB line and only uses 350MB. Might as well use 3G as it is cheaper and can be faster
 
Please note that live support will be offline this evening as we are upgrading our systems. We should be back online in the morning.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
 
I am just waiting for the capped accounts. Use about 60 gigs a month on a 10 meg line. All I care about is streaming. Vidi must stream perfectly throughout the day. Currently paying R199 for a 60 + 60 account from Webafrica. Don't really see the point in paying R799 for an uncapped account when I won't even reach the 100 gig limit.
 
Sorry I am asking here, but Google is definitely not my friend today. Looking for a space MMO like Eve Online, but preferablie free or at most $10.

4Mbps

My 100GB data is long gone and I'm officially shaped when it comes to big downloads.
I have bypassed this daytime shaping by using my backup account if I needed something urgently.

So I downloaded a big file that was previously downloaded, but was damaged and I used my backup capped account to this.

Then discovered that there also was an update for Format Factory (51MB) and proceeded to download that as well. It came down at 208kB/s. I stopped it after about 25% were completed.

I went back to my CW account and restarted and immediately downloaded at 380kB/s, but my line was maxed at 424kB/S as something else was running as well.

My shaped(at this stage) uncapped CW account out preformed my unshaped capped account by 50%.

Go figure.

I had some browsing speed issues which wasn't really dealt with. Downloads were working perfectly, but for some reason browsing was terrible. Other than that, the account has been amazing. I've used my 100 gigs quite some time back, so I most likely am being shaped. Not really seeing the difference though. Having said that, I never download during the day, even with my unshaped gigs. I usually only start after 6. News server needs to improve though. Have had a few fails and have issues with authentication all the time.

TL;DR Awesome account.
