What an ass hole
My Account going at max speed - Maybe get your Telkom line checked
Torrents doing 35+ and HTTP doing 40-48And my speeds have been pretty consistent , I've moved 3-4gb everyday , which is more than i bargained for. If i keep up this pace I'd easily get over 100gigs on my 384 Account , which is lovely
Oh , and Sure getting torrents shaped 20 hours out of the 24 hours a day sucks , but stop being lazy then and embrace alternative methods running at full speed while you can. Excluding Rapidshare most of the other hosting sites i've used all ran 40+ peak hours. We might not have "optimal" uncapped , but we sure as hell have uncapped.

Hi All,
As mentioned in other posts, during this ramp-up phase the load/capacity ratio on our network will be dynamic (signups/migrations vs. capacity expansion), specifically in respect to non-priority capacity (for torrents, news, rapidshare etc.). We are releasing as much capacity as possible during off-peak periods for this purpose, but this will always be within the confines of maintaining a premium experience for priority activities/traffic.
If you are experiencing performance issues which seem outside the norm, please provide specific details so that we can investigate (you are welcome to PM me).

Yeah I am on a free 512k uncapped account and I am easily getting full speed. Browsing is blazing fast and I am actually currently testing this in Pretoria, before this weekend I was in Cape Town and I have had the same experience in both locations.
Few tips that might help.
1. Try any other downloading method before you resort to Torrents/P2P
2. If you must use torrents, make sure you do NOT use encryption/SSL, that way you might get lucky and download of the caching server instead of the actual peer who could be really slow as opposed to a unshaped/un-throttled caching server. If it is what I think it is, you would be surprised how good those devices work. In fact, try to tell your torrent client to refuse using encryption/SSL if possible. Also you don't need it to actually work via port forwarding ect, caching server doesn't need that.
