IS Express Uncapped accounts

[kiepie]

So .. me and me mate dave can share the price of a 384 account.
That's R500 each and we get to not worry about being capped ever again.
Hmmmm ...

So lets see ... uncapped internet or a second hand Corsa Lite ...

But after 15GIGs, the speed gets halved!

I think you can use them simultaneously! Anyone who wants to try it and share an account with me (you paying 50%) please pm me....

Yip simultaneous.

Will the 384K package, for example, limit each line to 384K if multiple logins are used, or will the combined total be 384K?

Wamatt?

 

[wamatt]

Hi, just confirmed the speed is for the username. IE the combined total

Almost thought this was the solution!

The current uncapped offerings from IS are more unshaped after hours - won't it be the same with the express acounts?

 

[belowalthough]

During the days it is slow. It started a few months back. I can be wrong.

After hours speed go up and up. Depends on your line and account.

I have had a 512k Express Account since last year. It great.

pingin g between 600 and 1600 isnt unshaped. thnx but no thnx

 

[killadoob]

dude you wont find uncapped unshaped im sure

how would a 1024 account cost?

click on my link, insane specials ek se!

yea well, people should really stop advertising services when it's untrue. I'm thinking of submitting a claim against any ISP that is selling and marketing these accounts as unshaped to ASA to disprove and kick their asses.

Perhaps they aren't shaping; prioritising certain ports (e.g. HTTP, SMTP) may appear to have the effect of slowing certain protocols down, but they would technically not be incorrect calling it an unshaped service.

any qos on traffic is considered shaping. When you shape you dont add a rule to slow a specific protocol down, you proritize the ones that you dont want slowed down and the shaping mechanism does the rest

From wikipedia: Traffic shaping is an attempt to control computer network traffic in order to optimize or guarantee performance,

Disagree, especially on your very first statement - queueing generally achieves priority. Packets that are to be prioritised are sent to the front of the queue and other traffic falls in behind. "Shaping" is a well known networking term which describes an explicit shape instruction to the router, for example, on a Cisco router, like this:

access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq 25
interface FastEthernet0/0
traffic-shape group 101 64000

The above would limit all outgoing packets with destination port 25 to 64kbit.

I suspect that they (IS) are doing prioritisation of certain ports, because encrypted bittorrent traffic running on random ports is almost impossible to detect and control. SAIX definitely controls bandwidth using this method (they publically state as much).

My feeling is that the industry is using the wrong term altogether. If Telkom were to be hauled into court over the fact that they are still "shaping", they would almost certainly get off because technically they aren't. The same would probably apply to IS resellers claiming unshaped connectivity if they were brought before the ASA.

Threshold on all the accounts

384 - 15 GIG
512 - 30 GIG
1024 - 60 GIG

What is the use of it then?

and at those prices, you can get Openweb Uncapped with No thresholds!. Same network - no difference!

welcome to the land of RSA-nism

Exactly!

 

[Necuno]

anyone here care to rate openweb's uncapped service ?

Other ISP's are simply selling the exact same service if they on I.S.
Also we do not share you username between two clients hence to make a 50% profit. Every client on the uncapped get's two true simultaneous/concurrent connections.

We could have left the bit about thresholds out, but feel we should rather be upfront as possible about what you can expect with the product.

so even openwebs uncapped has thresholds?

If Openweb had thresholds, then i havent noticed, and i go way over those boundries every 10 days!.
