hi guys

anybody using this, hows the speeds on these accounts? I'm on adsl 192k

thanks
:p
 
All ISADSL accounts, 2GIG up to 10GIG, perform the same. Getting full speed locally uncapped/capped, and internationally while uncapped.

Latency during office hours to SAIX servers is jumpy 100-200ms, thanks to Telkom, after 5pm, its the same as saix to saix, sometimes even lower than a saix connection.

Latency during office hours/after hours to mweb/IS networks perfect no latency issues.

International is via Satellite, 610ms optimal to US and 700ms optimal to EU networks.
 
IS ADSL is the best option IMHO (except if you want gaming, but then there are some gaming type addons - ask Clipse or MrBEEP).

I am currently around 10GB on a 3GB account - local is fine, but international is down to 2-3kB (not totally capped).

EDIT: I have two such accounts - one is around 500MB used, which I just tested, and international on that, for same purposes, was at full 50kB. So, it would seem IS throttles the connection on "capped" accounts (for international).

You would get max line speed with IS accounts, whatever you got with shaped saix you would get the same or more, if possible.
