Currently on their 6Mb uncapped and happy so far, have Sophos UTM pushing all web traffic to FNB and NNTP and P2P on WebAfrica with scheduling in place but really decent will test it for the rest of the month to get an accurate feedback.

Hmmm I am still on 4Mbps. Wasn't aware that you can now get 6Mbps 100% discounted.
I only get 40% off but still pretty decent for Uncapped ADSL

Well upgraded it, but since a download went off this morning I will do a speed test tomorrow morning
I wonder... I upgraded to the 6mb account since it is free regardless, hoping that the increased speed also increases the daily limit for throttling. Have not tested however.
Sadly the line is still a 4mb, so I get no speed benefits.

Upgraded to 6Mbps, still only get about 350KB/s downloads on 10Mbps line.
I also upgraded to 6mb and got 6-7 mb on my 20mb line so far so good

Torrents won't work well on these accounts deliberately

Hi guys
I qualify for 80% discount on a 4meg. I stream hulu, netflix and online gaming with the odd download, will this account work for me? I hardly go over 10GB a day.
Thanks

Torrents do sometimes work after midnight or so, but I haven't tried in a while.

It should work. I would upgrade to the 6meg account as they have discontinued the 4meg account. It is still 399 for the 6meg account.
I upgraded my 4meg account last week and it was effective immediately.
My account will also not connect.

That is only for Gold as far as I can tell.
On Platinum you still get it.

With new bank charges starting from July. Benefits are starting to become less and less.

Received this email just now: FNB Connect Payment of R0.00 for your Uncapped ADSL acc has been processed"
Does this "payment" refer to the month of June, or for next month?
I have a Gold account and noticed that the FNB connect ADSL discount benefit will fall away with the new rules. Will that be for ADSL access in July, or in August? I would hate to pay for this. Currently only using it as backup account. By what date should we cancel this service if we dont want to continue paying monthly for this crap?
