Seems like a very good deal............... Looks like a awesome deal....

The 4Mb deal will cost you R230 per month over the 6 months contract.... Decent.... :)

http://www.gamco.co.za/

So free usage means the account is free until 31 December 2013???? That means the contract is until March 2014 which is 3 months? So you just paying for 3 months? I'm very confused......


EDIT:

Found the terms......

I am with Openweb, and i do understand I get badly shaped during the day, but I still average 150Gb-200GB on a 1mb line a month and don't always do 24/7 downloading. I think that is pretty awesome and I play online games and have no lag at night. I know the issue with changing usernames, but mine seems to have settled for the last month.

I rather have shaping during the day only instead of a rolling window where you get throttled like most other ISP's. I was with MWEB where I got screwed over like everybody else, but for the price, Openweb is giving me good downloads speeds majority of the day.

Just my 2c tho. Guess everybody has different experiences with different companies.

I can offer the following deal for you guys on Uncapped. (Any Line Speed)

Balance of Oct, Nov, Dec free usage. I just need a 3 month contract for Jan, Feb, March. *Excludes Line Rental

To sweeten the deal further the first 5 users that sign up I will also throw in a additional 100GB Capped Account that will expire Month End.

EDIT: Dont mean to run OW down, but the fans seem to be oblivious to something thats becoming so obvious. to me (and Wingnut777) at least.

but you always do it. multiple threads as well. whenever you get the opportunity. just wondering why you crusading is all.

Feel free to answer why you keep having to get new creds to get your interwebs working.
All I see is people getting shot down for mentioning it.

EDIT: Not to pick on you Akecpt but doesn't it irk you in the least that no other ISP have to do this?

10MB line, 4MB uncapped?

EDIT: I forgot to thank you for the advise on getting Netlimiter. I installed it and found my downloads were averaging around 450kbps. There were occasional spikes of up to 500kbps for a few minutes when 1 part of my download completed and the next part started.
Seems JDownloader was inflating the download rate somewhat.

8MB line, 4MB uncapped. I found that on 10MB line I still wasnt getting any spikes about 7MB. So I set the sync at 8MB, for max stability and best line stats, and left it there.

Pleasure, regarding Netlimiter. I have been caught out in the past before as well. A program tells you that your download is blazing at 700K/sec when its actually like 400K/sec lol ;)

If you dont mind me adding to this...

I also had the same issues with OW in the past. They have their strengths, but changing user/pass every other week gets a bit much after a while. I dont think its a matter of crusading... he is just raising valid points so people who read are aware, allowing them to make informed decisions with their hard earned dosh!!!

Yes so its basically 50% off over 6 months on your uncapped and if you sign now i will also throw another 100GB Capped ADSL account in for this month as well. *100GB Expires 31st October, if your nice I will try and roll that 100GB for November as well.

I have done it once. This was only to move from usage monitored to unmonitored. Now it's running like a dog again. You taking an issue that some users are having and declaring it valid for all OW users. That's not right and a bit dishonest. If you had a bad experience and left then you shouldn't still be flaming OW like this. Move on.

You are getting leka speeds with Telkom so I don't understand why you feel the need to stick it to OW every chance you get. No one appointed you the client spokesman for OW users. Yet you klap OW every chance. If you have left why the vendetta. Move on.

I'm not protecting OW, just trying to establish why you feel the need to crusade when you are not a user of an ISP.
