Ok well, for those who dont read signatures or feel it irritates the hell out of you. Just a quick post, the pricing on various of the vpn offerings has been adjusted (dropped/cheaper/cost less/better value for money etc) so for those who havnt seen my one post in off-topic a while back, this is just a reminder to check out VPN Packages offered.

So far, so good. The performance is reliable, and recently with telkom being extra nasty and daily high ping spikes on international servers ie. WOW , I have made quiet a few users happier, not to miss their gaming ;)

For the really mean and professional sceptics out there, drop me an email for a 5MB test account with an appropriate reason for wanting to use it (ie. Laggy WOW player, I dont believe this would work, proof me wrong etc.) , while you at it, make sure you get to test it during the day for worse possible performance testing ;-) and hey if you like it, dont be to shy to signup.

We also have some benefits, that you'll notice on the news page. If you have an account, no matter which size, and you get a friend to signup for 500MB or more, you will get 50MB added to your account and 50MB to the friend who signed up.

Its basicly a love triangle. You win, Your win and I get more users, so I win aswell.

ps. Ping you would be looking at as follow(add 60-70ms to get your actual ping, ie. that would be the typical ping to our server from your side):

Dude, everything sounded good until you got to that "Love Triangle" part. :)

Seriously tho, Axxess's 5G or 10G accounts are offerning more than your services are, with less the hassle. R120/month for a heavily contended 512k service, brings me pretty damn close to an Axxess 10GB acct.
 
The VPN has nothing to do with the proxies :-) please discuss the VPN here if you feel like it ;-)

Yep to a degree the axxess pricing is better than the lowest priced proxy package, the difference is that there is still alot of users who do ALOT of local traffic and getting capped is no problem for them, even on an 10/20 or 30gig account. This is pretty much where the proxy comes in to play. Not to mention, I know of alot of people allways capped since they share 1 3gig account between 2 or 3 people and then some of these individuals would buy a proxy account for international browse and what not. Working on this, you save alot.

Anyways, Im making people aware of the VPN, not the proxies.

re: love triangle, I had to add a twist to the story *hehe*

Axxess did some pings for me to my US EverQuest2 server and the results were around 550ms. NukeCAP pinged the same server and are getting sub 300ms - even better than my current ISDN connection.
As soon as Telkom stops sitting on their hands and installs my ADSL (Been waiting since frigging MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), I'll be getting Imaginet as my ISP (currently with them) and NukeCAP for VPN proxy.

I just can't wait... *twitches*
 
Yip thats the difference between shaped(axxess, alot cheaper for day to day usage tho so for average person this is the best choice if ping isnt everything) and unshaped(nukecap, no packet shaping plus best international latency for the ping-o-maniac gamers, not suitable for downloading as youd be paying thru ur ****** for the traffic)
 
Hi again, would like to make everyone aware that I will be providing the following accounts till end of month or till all gone. Whichever comes first:

10x 500MB VPN (30day - Power user) accounts @ R160 per account

also

5x 2000MB VPN (30day - Power user) accounts @ R450 per account

Im letting these accounts go practically at cost, just for this period of time. So those of you interested, this is perfect time at a really affordable price for great ping or whatever your use may be.
 
Please take this as constructive criticism.

Those power user accounts seem a bit steep to me, because one can get a 3000meg, unshaped account from SAOL for R400. So thats R50 cheaper for an extra 1gig.

Eish :(
 
Yep, SAOL unshaped is not the same tho. Im actually interested in what latency you get with SAOL, as I highly doubt their really that 'unshaped' :)

The benefit other than that, is the fact that, with the vpn you dont have to use it in the 30days or more, only for downloading. You can only enable it for when needed.

Imagine you wanted to use the internet for random things and for gaming. Lets say your monthly needed WOW works out to be 1000MB of traffic. You would then get a 3gig adsl account for normal arb stuff, and for your wow get a 1000MB VPN account. This would work out around R230 + R300 = R530 .

What most users do atm, they go with Axxess 10gig and on average 500MB 30day accounts.
