Moving to a new ISP, Need some info.

[TwinDucT]

Hey Guys,
Recently, my ISP decided to die/ terminate my account (Kinetix).
Anyway, Had a IS Fibre Express 512k From them and had it running on a 4mb line, got around 300-400kB/s from HTTP and etc.

Now my question is, will I get the same speed from any ISP that offers the IS Uncapped Fibre Express? I assume you I do, based on that the service comes from IS and not the ISP.

Also, I've noticed that after a few days, my internet is really slow from 7am-7pm. Is this the effect you get once you hit the threshold? Where they cap the speed during working hours and open the valve after hours?

BTW thinking of switching to webafrica or Imaginet, Yay or nay?

Best Regards,
TwinD

IS has a invisible cap that is why u are slowed.
I would say go webafrica I have so far only heard good things about them.
Speeds would still be the same I guess.

That's correct. They all have the same speed. Just price is different.

Correct again

WebAfrica is good but will also have a look at Axxess. They just started offering uncapped from IS at very good prices.
