MWEB Uncapped 4mb R539

[rjuch]

Hey Guys,
The uncapped 4mb adsl account from mweb for R539, it says its shaped, are torrents unshaped in the evenings and weekends ?
Which uncapped mweb package are most people here using ? (bigtime broadband, internet addict uncapped) ?

Mweb is used by the overwhelming majority. Torrents etc are never unshaped but at night they speed up as the network is less congested and then from about 1am till about 7am they run near full speed. There is going to be a couple of whiners who respond here about the account but for the price it is unbeatable.

*if* the network is not congested, because it could be due to usage increasing by the perception of it being less congested. generally it is better...

What kind of speeds (in kb/s) can we expect during work hours?

Next to nothing for torrents, rapidshare etc. However browsing and video streaming is pretty decent. I was with Mweb since they started the uncapped packages and tried Axxess this month. I must say, I am very disappointed. I've downloaded 45GB for the month and have been heavily shaped, permanently, since the 5th. Browsing and video streaming are slow as hell as well. Switching to Mweb from next month again.

On a side note, although Mweb do shape you to oblivion during the day, you can still do some decent damage with it after hours.

i dont get this, on very well seeded torrents i can get up to 360kB/s during the day! like at about 1 oclock...
but then again i seem to be one of the lucky ones...
