Hi guys, this seems to be a better deal then the openweb one so think I want this one. The 384 Uncapped Express +. Does anyone have experience with it? any good? Can you still download at 4MB/S after 8pm and on w/e? do axxess offer good support? thanks

Yes to all your questions.

It is mostly darn good. BUT, sometimes our downloads peak at 300K instead of 420K, not sure if it is us or them.
But right now, when speeds should be limited, it is running at 228K
Sometimes you get unthrottled speed during work hours.

k thanks guys.. looks like this is the way to go
BTW, what are you guys downloading? torrents,NZB's etc?
I was never able to get full line speed with torrents - Think that was due to the seeding/sharing issue. I have gone over to NZB's now (Thanks Gary
) Getting full line speed in the evenings with Axxess

Linux distros, of course.
Yes it is a very good deal.
By the way, there is this really awesome feature on this forum called "search" if you type something in it and hit enter it pops up with tons of threads related to whatever you typed.... amazing and very advanced hey
No but on a more serious note there are quite a few threads on the Axxess uncapped products, no need to start another one.

After some good advice, I signed with Astraweb - they have a $11 a month special (not sure if it is still on the go - check out the link http://www.news.astraweb.com/plans.html ) I think they are the cheapest around - I might be wrong.

SIAX news server won't work on Axxess uncapped. IS new server will, but you have to be really desperate to go that route. Astraweb is well worth the extra bucks.

+1 - 441 Kb/s only in the evenings though - being throttled during the day, due to the rolling 10 day threshold system

I thought that would go without saying.

But sometimes it even goes full speed during the day
Doing 287K right now!
is that also with NZB's? is it NOT possible to use the SAIX server?
