Unthrottled again, now that I'm on 99GB again for last 30 days, so threshhold definitely is 100GB.
Ok sorry for the long stream of posts, been gone for a while, guys, has anyone stopped to think about this, the only "month" that doesn't have 30 days is February,
I may get attacked but if you do 100 gigs per Mb in a month, in Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Aug, Oct and December your daily average is less (3.23)
In the other, Apr, Jun, Sep, Nov its right (3.33)
Only Feb its 3.57 or 3.44 (leap year) so yes you can do 100GB per mb in any month except Feb,
Average is 101.3888 or 101.666 (leap year) per month

Wonderus stuff, let Joe no one goes crazy they can increase it
Nope, its obvious mweb is only concerned with profit margins, if they can increase their profits by cutting some capacity they will. Thats why they instituted this bull**** in the first place, they are getting rid of the less profitable users which just shows they don't understand how the uncapped model works.
I think they ate getting rid of users that exceed what one could viably use on a perfect ecosystem. Then again about 8 in 10 of my friend/customers, etc have a 2mb line coupled with a 1mb account,
They refuse to downggrade line because they will see .86mb instead of 1.2, the refuse to upgrade account because the price is too high. So they are "abusive" they ate taking advantage (exploiting) of a fault with mwebs accounts, another user on ah feedback says plugg does line speed (4mb on 5mb line), but both cannot get more than 3:6 on ah, seems they fixed it at only allowing 90% promised speed

That is why I hate MWEB with a passion!
MWEB is the SA's most dishonest ISP of the year 2013. MWEB should have been awarded MyBB's The Worst Company of the Year 2013 trophy because they truly deserve it. Their image deserves to be permanently dented big time.

The truth of the matter in my case, is had this information been available from day 1, I would've stayed with Mweb as the service has always been great. Because then I would have had some sort of recourse when I got throttled to pre dial up after doing 60GB in (iirc) 8 days on 4mb premium. I didnt have the patience to test the limits (only to possibly find out the limits are not set in stone). I'm sure many others share the sentiment. I truly wish Mweb learnt their lesson from this whole incident, and moving forward will be more open (hopefully completely transparent) about these kinds of things. I for one will happily move back in that case.
I have the strangest problem.
Sometime last week I downgraded from 4mbps to 2mbps. Ever since then I am having trouble loading some sites e.g. facebook.com and malwarebytes. Thought it may be a virus, but when I swapped to Afrihost prepaid data, everything went find.
I couldn't download patch data for an online game through MWEB whereas it worked fine on Afrihost.
Sent an email to Mweb on the 29th and awaiting a response.
Weird problem though eh?

Maybe you on their standard account?

Have you checked your http://myadsl.mweb.co.za to see if you're throttled? If you're rolling 30 day total is higher than 200GB it could be the case if you've downgraded to 2mbps.
Good point fudzy, @mwebguy, does the last couple of days carry over

I do, I find their PR on this policy change has been appalling.
They did one thing well, they changed the internet landscape in south Africa. Albeit not for the better, I think at some point everyone will think twice when downloading more that they can use

Yes, you can see the burden being expressed on the other Uncapped feedback threads as the heavy downloaders move from one ISP to another.
Yup, it seems they either paving the way for something big or wanted to show off the fact that their network could sustain these guys for so long

I just don't get why they are happy with letting all users pay for the abuse by a few? Rather sort out those individuals.
True, though at 100k customers its 3k abusers, I think they could keep up getting rid of them, presumably an influx as well
