Free 1Mbps uncapped ADSL upgrades from Openweb

its good to know that Mweb aren't the only ones who can do this. Well Done Keoma :)

I expect ALL ISPs to follow suite otherwise = FAiL.

From the quote in the article, it seems like 1024 Kbps Gold Plus will sell for the same price as the old 1024 Kbps Gold :)

Current OpenWeb 1024Kbps Uncapped Gold subscribers are also in for a treat. They will automatically be upgraded to OpenWeb Uncapped Gold PLUS.

No, you silly tart :p

I'm under the impression that the PLUS service will be applicable to all packages so what I mean is, while it'll be a free upgrade for the current 1024kbs subscribers (and not the 512-to-1024 guys) how much will it cost for the 4096kbps folks, how much of a difference will it be... THOSE kind of details :D

I've e-mailed MrBEEP for more information, if he's willing to divulge :D
 
This is great news to hear that ISPs' are coming to the party. But when is Telkom going to going to up their minimum levels. As right now if you have a 1 - 1- Mbps line your only gauntree is that they yout line will not drop to below 1 Mbps and you pay for R413 p/m. Now tell Telkom are upgrading 512 kbps to 1 Mbps and you only pay R300 p/m. It is about time that Telkom upgrade the minimum speeds.

We are been ripped off by Telkom once again.

Not completely true. The Gold uncapped have a list of backbones you can choose from. IS, Altech, vodacom[I think] and there might be more.
 
I'm very, very far from the exchange and could never expect more than 512 kbts. Speed was OK with Youtube a little jerky mosttimes. Now on a speed test I'm getting just over 800kbts. For normal browsing and downloading updates it's a big improvement and Youtube now downloads faster that it plays. Then again I'm not a power user.
 
Great move Keoma!
Has anybody received an email about this? I am/was on the 1Mb Gold, so how would I know if I'm on the Gold Plus atm?

Will the price of normal 1024kbps Gold also come down or will it stay the same and just be upgraded to plus?
 
I've got an uncapped gold account (512kb) - I was upgraded to 1mb even before the telkom announcement.
My speeds literally doubled overnight. Thank you Open Web!!
This did result in me being shaped as my usage doubled too - from 160GB/m to 320GB/m.
Even taking the shaping into consideration I'm still very happy with the service I have received.
I'm only shaped from 7am to 5pm.
Has anyone else experienced the same? Does anyone know how long shaping is usually in effect for?
