R5 a gig
not as stable but still the best bang for your buck out there.
Not sure how you figure that
I switched over to another uncapped service last week Friday afternoon. Since then I've download 161GB or around 12GB/day for a total of 360GB per 30 days - this works out for me at R2.49/GB.
Not only that but since I switched over:
- I have not been disconnected once
- My torrents run full line speed from around 7:30pm to 7:30am every day
- Ditto RapidShare
- I have been able to connect to Steam whenever I've wanted
- I am able to connect to Xbox Live and download demos and updates whenever I want
- In spite of the advertised speed limit (192kbps during office hours if I exceed 5GB in 10 days) I occasionally see bursts of up to 50kB/s during the day, lasting 30 minutes to an hour
- I have access to a local news server (not that I need it)
- As soon as 8mbps becomes generally available I will probably be able to almost double the throughput per month, dropping my cost/GB even further
Once DC fixes this almighty mess they've made of their customer service maybe I'll have another look but it would have to be an absolutely fantastic service to outperform what I have at the moment. I really did try to give DC the benefit of the doubt before I left (I signed up on 08/12/2009 and "cooled down" on 31/01/2010) but their lack of any kind of customer service strategy, the fact that after three months and counting people are still not getting the
minimum line speeds consistently, the fact that they change their product offerings without the slightest hint to their customers, the fact that they are constantly needing to tweak the network, the fact that I was triple billed for January and spent nearly the entire month trying to get the cash back all leads me to think that it is unlikely that my router will ever be darkened by the shadow of a digichilli.com logon.
