There are changes on the [URL="https://www.connection.co.za/"]IC website[/URL]. Looks like you went for the 10Mbps home uncapped product - the price looks attractive.

Some feedback on usage. I have done 163GB on the 2MB package and currently on 3 stars woohoo.

I've done the same amount of data on the same package and I'm down to 1 star. the pings have been terrible between 1am and 5am the past few mornings.
 
Dam man I'm not sure why it affected you differently. Manage to do 185.1GB for last month but still on 3 stars.

Maybe it's because I did 80gbs in about 5 days to download those XBox One games :D
 
going strong this side , on 1 star now lol

going full speed around 600Kb/s , which is great for a 4mps package on a 10mb line. sometimes its around 700Kb/s

did 100gb this month so far , using nntp with IS news server and a paid news server.
 
Decided to get one of their 30GB+30GB packages for my parents as I was looking for an IS account but all the other providers are either too expensive or their after hours times are too late and my parents would never use that data.

These account's after hours are from 6pm, which works a lot better and at least that data will get used.

Stupid idiots billed me the full amount now for the package after I specifically checked that they offer pro-rata on their monthly accounts! Now I'm waiting for their accounts department.

When do I pay when I order a product?

All Connection products and services are paid upfront. When you order a monthly service you will initially be billed a pro-rated portion of the monthly amount, which will be debited immediately. Thereafter the full monthly amount will be debited on the 1st of the month.

If you have purchased hardware or top ups then the full payment will be debited immediately as it is a once off purchase.

I'm having such poor luck with ISPs of late :(

They did credit me the amount when I was double billed. Their uncapped accounts are also unshaped after 6pm and all weekend long so that is also an option.

ouch. I emailed them asking about IS news server access. Took a week to get a reply.

So good luck.
 
I can't get through to their support number. Can anybody connect to 087 353 2751? It doesn't even attempt to connect from my cell.
 
Okay, got through to them yesterday on the phone, apparently their lines were down due to cable theft.

The guys said they would just delay my next debit until next month, I'll have to wait and see if this happens.

Account performs really well though, to be expected with an IS account though.

Argg. Another R140 went off my account now. Looks like I'll have to fight to get this money back now.

:mad:

Capped works better, especially during the day. They like to Skype and capped just provides the better performance.

Can't argue with that.

For the peeps on the "other" IS threads:

Capped/Uncapped 2mb? Are these accounts looking good longterm?

They're IS accounts, so generally pretty solid when you use them properly.

Awesome accounts if you use it primarily between 5pm-8am and on weekends. I'm on the 2mb account from the day they launched.
