Does Mweb shape Capped accounts

[Trollsmite]

Sup forum,

So my question is...does Mweb shape capped accounts? I've been noticing that in the evenings my 8mb line struggle to play 720P on YouTube and other Streaming sites. No problem during day time...Also, my ping is radical at night and never constant but fine during day time..

I have a 1gb free Afrihost account and last night I did a speed test. The ping on Afrihost was +-20ms while Mweb was at +-240ms.

To confirm my ADSL Account.

Maybe your Telkom DSL exchange is congested during the evenings. Test with another ISP to find the problem.

He just said he tested with another isp and was fine

Probably, I wouldn't put it past them.

Best thing to do is find an ISP that works for you and move to that ISP. Simple, finish and klaar. Don't even waste your time with "support", life is too short, and will shorten it even faster

The will deny it, but they do. I moved away from MWEB and my internet experience became what it should be.

They do, just not to the extent as the uncapped accounts.

They do. Phoned mweb to inquire and yes, their capped accounts are shaped.

They've been shaped for several years, afaik. I have a 2gb backup account with them and it runs like crap on some protocols. Probably also depends on your specific package.

I also have a capped account, and i'm with a wisp and they don't shape or throttle me ever, how can you pay for a set limit of bandwidth and speed but they decide to shape you? Change isp asap! The first time i hear this with a capped plan didn't know.
