Dear Mrbeep

I am currently a mwbe subscriber and I am having thoughts of changing ISP's.
Either to Telkom or to you if you can convince me.

This your package that I am looking to move to
http://www.openweb.co.za/gold_unshaped_uncapped.html

Do you employ throttling or rolling thresholds ?
What kind of contention ratio do you use?

I use my line for everything including working from home, so it is critical that I have a good line.

Is your 4meg line good enough the vanilla one?

Thank you Kindly.
 
I'll convince you :whistle:

This is what my DU meter looks like on News Servers, and will look like that even during office hours.
(I am on their 1 Mbs Gold account)

They don't throttle, ever, and they have no "Thresholds"
HTF can you have a threshold on uncapped, and why should an ISP ever need to slow you down because you used an Unlimited service too much?


They claim they shape if the network gets busy, but I haven't seen any of that yet. Their network is Superior.

Yep, Rock solid.

Also, with OpenWeb you are allowed to use SSL encryption on your Newsgroup downloads - something that will pretty much get your ass banned if you're on M-Web.
You will never get an e-mail saying you are using "too much", because OpenWeb doesn't even monitor your usage.

Hi All,

I just signed up for the 6mb gold account for R749. Currently on Mweb 4mb uncapped. Anyone else made the jump from Mweb 4mb uncapped? If so, what is your experience with p2p (torrents), streaming (youtube) and gaming (international)?

Cheers!
 
In my haste to apply I realized after submitting that I did not enter my email address correctly in the application form. I basically left out the @gmail.com part... Is this a problem?

I'm thinking about doing the same. Please let me know how it goes.
 
Just want to say thanks to MrBeep had trouble with mweb and left , now a very happy customer of Open Web :)
 
oooo this is very tempting... ;) How does the international latency look like on these gold accounts, especially to the UK? Getting around the 200ms mark on Mweb, so would just like to compare..
 
Hi Jacques,

Please email [email protected] with your OW number and correct email address. We would need to correct this
