Is there an isp out there that will for just one IP address give me unshaped speeds?

I play a fair number of games online and its quite irritating having to wait for stuff to load and sitting with 450ms response times where everyone else that usually plays has about a 10-20ms.

At the moment im using a webafrica 5gb account that is shaped. The 5gb is the bare minimum i think i can get through a month so going over to a fully unshaped account will cost me an arm and a leg to get 5gb.
 
Get a 1 gig unshaped prepaid account for gaming and a 4 gig normal account for downloading
 
I know i can do that. The thing i was asking is if its possible for an isp to cater for this on their side?

Otherwise everytime i want to play a game i have to load the unshaped acc.
Then when i want to browse and download emails ill have to switch to my shaped service.
Not really efficient he?


What if i want to read a page when im playing a game? Now im using my unshaped acc for data that isnt even shaped on normal saix acc.

Basically I need a service where I can specifiy that specific ip's must be unshaped where and charged on unshaped prices.

Hi,

I think your only option would be to set this up on your side similar to the local - only accounts / international dual account set up - on the router-level (if you router allows having two concurrent connections to two different ISPs) and specify the unshaped account instead of the international account, but only more narrowed down ^^

Best wishes
