They the Mdweeps are lying. 4M are also throttled albeit at a slightly higher value but that's not just it, If they detect you are active on your line 24/7 that's abuse and they will throttle you again. Its not just a specific GB value. You may as well get a fixed capped account from Afrihost and enjoy full max speed at a good price.

Just do the right thing. Send MWeb to hell!

Are there any 4mbps currently throttled? Proof please.

Anyone else's connection running slow? Direct download that I've tested from 2 sites (one being Nvidia driver download) are only running at a bit more than half speed.
Torrents don't work at all.

My friend is also having issues with the torrents, though I'm not sure about direct downloads.

Reset my connection 3 times so far but without any success.

Have you checked to see if you're throttled?

Serious question: Are there any other ISP that is worse than Mweb ?

As a gamer, I only have to download about 4 new Steam releases (which is easy to do with all the free to play) on my 1mb to be fall under "abuser". GJ Mweb.

Give the others a little time to bend under the pressure of the additional users and ask the question again. ISP performance is quite a flavour of the month.

MWEBGuy, please tell your new CEO to replace all occurrences of the 'uncapped' word with 'soft-capped' on your website page.

That's actually a very valid point, you could report MWEB to The Advertising Standards Authority of South Africa (ASA)

Ok wow can't even play games while being throttled talk about ruining the internet experience completly. Other isp's only throttle the download protocols not everything to 256kb

212GB this month, not throttled. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, this thread would be a lot more popular. You and Necuno are probably the most frequent in here which I find quite ironic.

I’m on 4 Mbit Premium Uncapped, not throttled and did not receive a letter last month. I do have a problem however, seems that they shaped me to death, only MyBroadband and Speedtest.net shows browseable user experience… and certain other local sites. Thought less users, would mean less shaping…

I wonder how this mass exodus will affect Mweb long term. I for one don't give a damn about them and hope they go bankrupt. I was a happy Mweb customer until this throttling nonsense came out. Now I'm a happy Openwebber and I'm loving my after hours unshaped, unthrottled, uncapped service.

Is that all the time or during peak periods? I only use my line in the evenings.

I found your defensiveness for the MDweeps quite ironic just as I find the same lame attitude for the criminals in this country called the cANCer stupid and ironic!
