ISP With No Throttling policy?

[cryaxxx]

Hi im moving away from Mweb had enough. I was wondering whats the best alternative isp with no throttling policy. A shaping policy is fine just no throttling please. It should have the same price as mwebs 1mbs inclusive deal or around there.
sorry for the poor grammar im on my phone because I cant use my damn internet thanks mweb.

Wait for an OpenWeb GOLD Special to come around again.

(although, it might be possible to get the Standard uncapped special now, and upgrade to gold later.... although I'm not 100% sure.)

Im looking for something around R199-R229 I have heard only good things about openweb. anything else

Afrihost's home uncapped isn't throttled. Only shaped. R197 per month for 1Mbps.

Edit: corrected myself

wouId I be able to do 110gig with that account thats my monthly average.

Without a sweat or a worry about being cut off.

What do you think throttled means its shaping get a clue before trying to sound intelligent. You do the throttling via qos and traffic shaping, the term throttled is the lamen's term for non technical people to understand what you are talking about.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Both OpenWeb and Afrihost don't throttle. I prefer OpenWeb.

LOL

 

[AfriGuy]

We don't throttle any of our accounts.
Home Uncapped accounts are subjected to shaping, however this is done according to the network demand and only non-realtime services are shaped. We encourage our clients to download as much as they want/ can

Drop me a PM if you'd like to discuss a few options

Bull****

Let me help you help yourself, its all on the WIKI and every technical site worth its salt will confirm this.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_shaping

Traffic shaping (also known as "packet shaping") is a computer network traffic management technique which delays some or all datagrams to bring them into compliance with a desired traffic profile.[1][2] Traffic shaping is a form of rate limiting.
Traffic shaping is used to optimize or guarantee performance, improve latency, and/or increase usable bandwidth for some kinds of packets by delaying other kinds.


Functionality

If a link becomes saturated to the point where there is a significant level of contention (either upstream or downstream) latency can rise substantially. Traffic shaping can be used to prevent this from occurring and keep latency in check. Traffic shaping provides a means to control the volume of traffic being sent into a network in a specified period (bandwidth throttling), or the maximum rate at which the traffic is sent (rate limiting), or more complex criteria such as GCRA. This control can be accomplished in many ways and for many reasons; however traffic shaping is always achieved by delaying packets. Traffic shaping is commonly applied at the network edges to control traffic entering the network, but can also be applied by the traffic source (for example, computer or network card[3]) or by an element in the network. Traffic policing is the distinct but related practice of packet dropping and packet marking.[4] The technique of selecting or categorising traffic into different types or classes is traffic classification.

By the way there is no such technical term as "Traffic throttling" and its a term thumb sucked by god knows who. Maybe the traffic department knows what "traffic throttling" means ....


@AfriGuy so where does Afrihost come up with its technical terms ? Or do you guy's just use buzzwords without even knowing what it means. Your post is misleading to say the least and im 100% sure your network engineers will confirm this ... I know they are quite clued up as I have worked with them in the past.

 

[Keeper]

No goody Smurf you are actually wrong.

Shaping: "Everyone can download from HTTP, but not NNTP/Torrent/P2P protocols because the network is under strain"
Throttling: "You've sir have done 200GB this month, and we're throttling you alone, from all protocols"

 

[Hectic]

Wow another retard.

Let an ISP throttle you and let an ISP shape me and see who will have the the best experience.

LOL.

Seems like you don't know the difference.

Shaping is limiting speed based on protocol, while throttling is limiting speed regardless of protocol and instead limits the whole connection.

 

[Keeper]

Oh so they do have a gold special going? I didn't see it on the main homepage!
Get that OP, now. Before it runs out again.

OW Gold has very little shaping. they don't throttle at all.

My record has been 200GB a month on Afrihost 1Mbps
