MWEB Uncapped ADSL Feedback - Part 3

[Reaper5639]

Hi guys new on the forum, quick question....me and my mate are looking to split a 4mb uncapped adsl, he wants to download and I want to do online gaming and streaming. Will this speed be enough? Also what is the difference between uncapped and premium uncapped? Is premium unshaped and unthrottled?

Premium is for downloads. I did about 400gb a month on the premium account. Never got throttled and never noticed shaping.

Beware of the standard packages though - they throttle you at really low data usage.

How do you plan on splitting the adsl?
You are not able to run concurrent sessions.

Well we live next to eachother, we plan on getting 1 router, then from said router we will lay a 40m LAN cable to the other house which will connect to a access point.

Hahaha well, we got a top of the range tp-link router that comes with software to allocate bandwith so we will 1st see how it goes sharing the 4mb and then if it goes bad we can allocate 2mb a piece. So what are your thoughts? Good idea or crap idea?

It's a good idea if you guys are able to manage the line correctly.
Otherwise it will turn into a one sided gaming stream.

Awesome, just need to clarify one more thing. I need to get a phone line from telkom, then contact mweb, they will then take the phone line and 'rent' it from telkom and I pay mweb for the line and rental? Are there anyone here on the 4mb premium uncapped? If so I would like to know what the full price is per month. Thanks for the input and help btw guys.

I'm on a 4meg Premuim if you getting the line and data from mweb then you pay mweb R899 a month .

For Telkom you will still pay them for your phone line only

 

[Madaboutbullterriers]

Mweb guy can you please clarify:
2mbps uncapped = R369.00 per month but I found this: MWEB 2Mbps R239? so which is correct?

Just ignore the previous 123 pages and go with Mweb instead of a ISP that won't throttle you to death. Good luck with the fights once you get throttled because of downloads or gaming (aka abusing).

To be fair, 103 of those pages are people like TEXTILE GUY, SHVAK and Necuno repeating their diatribes, they aren't even clients of MWeb anymore.

Did not ignore 123 pages, I have been following this mweb throttling saga but I get mixed reviews, some guys get throttled and then some of 'em don't. I am lurking my way to telkom to see how they are doing also, December I'm getting uncapped so I'm still shopping around to see whats the best deal.

Nope the difference is a slight increase on threshold, and not much at that.
If you want to download and do gaming between two people you are going to get stuck. With other ISPs they will throttle your downloads but keep your gaming functioning at normal speeds. Most of them anyway. Mweb do not, they have a blanket one size fits all throttle policy. They do not care if it is gaming related or not, one you reach the magic number you are done and trust me Premium accounts are throttled as well

BS, 70% of that 103 pages are Fudzy defending Mweb's travesty in a 2:1 response ratio!

I retract my comment though as I see I do post more, but I'm more interested in keeping things civil and provide constructive data on the throttling saga rather than your rantings which carry on ad nauseam. Please point out where I have been defending Mweb?

If they are no more with mweb they should F off . Don't see a need for them to keep trolling the thread .
