Mate, Go to afrihost.com and get a free 1GB account

If it wasnt for the AH 1 Gig free for life, I wouldnt be able to ask Mr. Beep to sort his sh.t out!!

Mr. Beep - with the OW account I CANT email support!!

lol 0.01MB/s

Email support, they will email you back after 7pm and tell you "hey it's fine now"

Now to quote why openweb is full of cr@p

Priority over Vanilla, Standard and Silver!

Friend on standard silver, he is right now browsing 720 youtube THen why am I, on gold not even able to browse gmail?

Priority Gaming 24/7!

Please, I will have better luck joining bf4 on a gprs modem atm

Priority Downloads After Hours and ALL weekend!

And in working hours you will not be able to browse, email, watch youtube or even load openweb.co.za- GG


Shaping only applied when the network is busy. We unshape you completely during other times (+- 60% of any given month is unshaped).

cool story bro

k.

Well of course its fine after 7pm thats when they stop the throttling or whatever it is they or IS do.
I know why I never wanted to go back to IS. They are the biggest bunch of thieves.

what i would like to know is why doesnt openweb recognize this problem...

Network is not "green"
Why not give us a statement.. something

 

[AthenianOwl]

My OW account is dead now. RIP I'm using my Afrihost free 1gb account now.

Mr. Beep, you need to stop doing business with IS

 

[Pythos]

Seem to be experiencing same thing myself - browsing is very slow and is often timing out. Hopefully it's just hiccups caused by the start of the new business year.

Yeah but you can't blame them for postponing it deliberately to reply after the shaping is gone, you can only blame horrible customer service

Shame my 1gb free is almost up Seems I will have to topup... Whats that on top of the overpriced gold price I am paying anyways

 

[marine1]

Sad state of affairs, IS sucks worse than MWEB.
Unfortunately this is the state of ADSL in this country

Hehe unlucky buggers... my port reset seems to have helped, for the moment things are fine although I might have just jinxed it.

Through telkom?

geez been a while since he replied. that 1GB free afrihost account is a bit of a con. its 1GB unshaped so of course its gonna be nice and fast. if it was slow then people using it wont switch permanently to afrihost. so comparing a shaped uncapped to unshaped capped is a bit unfair.

DJ how does your capped account perform during office hours?

but so is shaping everything to death during the day. if I was at home i would be insane with frustration. I wonder why its going on? all quiet from beepy.

OW - Mr. Beep

Through telkom?

 

[Grizz]

Perfectly, when I'm not experiencing exchange congestion which I confirm with a tracert. But that's why I'm so quiet in here these days. The capped account is awesome...

 

[Mannemarak]

Jees, seems like silence is Golden
