MWEB Uncapped ADSL - Unofficial Q

except for the R23 price difference, what else should I consider when choosing either MWEB or Axxess uncapped options?

Everything about the service. It's going to perform differently, shaping will be different and T&C will be different. You'll have to look around these threads for most of those factors. Depends on your needs too.
 
Don't waste your money, just get the uncapped unshaped account from either Mweb or Openweb, you wont regret it

cmon remy, a lil more motivation on why not axxess.
 
Cause at the end of the day Axxess is IS... feel free to read the front page story about how crap their new products are.
 
Help
Disconnected my Telkom line about 10 years ago. Recently cancelled wifi internet due to poor service.
I don’t want to pay Telkom anything. Looking at signing up with mweb for the R349 pm all inclusive.
What do I need to arrange with Telkom? What is the procedure?
 
Axxess is a reseller, they don't have their own network. So whatever IS says they have to agree with. MWEB isn't perfect but if you don't bypass their shaping or break their rules their service is awesome.

If you check the threads currently bombing on MWEB you will see it is the same few bad mouthing them on each of the threads.

So, on MWEB
1.) Dont bypass shaping, which apparently includes http.
2.) Make sure you download while at your PC only, and only periodicly.

Did I forget anything? If not, then you're set to go with MWEB.

btw - if you check the threads RE: Mweb - you'll see its the same few standingh up for them, coincidence?

no need for their comment, its what SaberWolfy has been going on about... hence the apparently. But I do imagine that downloading over HTTP from an unknown hosting site would be considered bypassing shaping.

Knickers in a twist? Remove. Shake. Hold at each end. Ensure the label is on the inside nearest to you. Replace. Sorted.

Basically, MWeb own their network, and if they don't like what you are up to, they have an arsenal of clauses they can call upon to get rid of you. Either live with that or don't live with that.

Looking around at the sad and sorry alternatives, even if I don't like it, I'd rather live with it.

MWeb has responded to these issues in detail on many occasions in several threads. Bypassing shaping is in contravention of the T&C on the shaped account, obviously. Constantly downloading unshaped protocols (such as HTTP) at maximum line speed 24/7 for the entire month is also in contravention of the T&C.

Unless you have purchased the shaped "Home" account with the express purpose of downloading hundreds of GB every single month, none of this should affect you at all. Beware of trolls on these forums who spread FUD.
