I guess the person you're sharing the account with must be hammering it non stop
But in all seriousness even an entry level uncapped account shouldn't perform that poorly.

But in all seriousness even an entry level uncapped account shouldn't perform that poorly.
I can log in, what do you want to know?
Here are my usage stats
30th Oct: 2 GB
31st Oct: 5.4GB
1st Nov: 12GB
2nd Nov: 10GB
3rd Nov: 4.4GB
4th Nov: 300mb
5th Nov: 34mb
The 10GB & 12GB was downloaded saturday and sunday.
Something to note:
I downloaded 10Gb last night from my Telkom account, pretty much the same amount I can do on OpenWeb during the ENTIRE Saturday or Sunday.
So really, why would I care about OpenWeb opening their network on weekends, if it takes me a whole SATURDAY to download the same
amount I can do on Telkom in only 7 hours, after midnight? (on literally ANY day)

wow, Openweb, Support takes literally forever to answer the most simple tickets.
I've been waiting 29 hours on afrihost now.

It literary takes 5 minutes to open any webpage, if it doesn't time out. OpenWeb what happened to you guys..

Thats the thing about openweb. Their uncapped isn't suited for people who need to get things done during office hours. Their uncapped accounts are strictly suited for downloaders.
If you are lucky.....
But we're talking about browsing here not downloading the Internet during the daytime.

Like I said. It's not for people who want to get stuff done during business hours. It works better for downloaders.

I have these issues until 10PM or sometimes even later, so are you telling me their business hours is until 10 in the night?
What I like is (sarcasm attached), speedtest.net opens in an instant and I get full line speed.
I don't do a single torrent a month, just normal browsing.

Its very weird. I still have full speed from exactly 5PM, but I have noticed lately latency issues on xbox live. People on GTA online complaining that I teleport around making me impossible to hit

Some say that the amount one pays/account level determines when one gets unshaped. Be it 17h00, 19h00, 00h00, etc.

I am on openweb uncapped Gold (Leon edition) @ R299 per month. I don't think that's one of the lower level accounts?
I just wanna know what's the point of paying for a 4mb account when I only get 1mb speeds 90% of the time?
I understand i'm not on a gold account anymore but why 1mb/2mb/4mb/10mb uncapped packages if all you get is 50kb/s either way?
What's the point?

The point is not to rely on OW, you were warned.
As you can see, I don't have such issues, but then I'm not on OW:

Indeed
I don't normally download like that, just doing it this weekend trying to get to 1 star to see what happens monday for science
I'll bet your bottom dollar, it will perform like an OW account during the day
I'm interested in what happens after 5pm.
