What is the difference between Gold Orange Uncapped and the Original Gold Uncapped, apart from the price?
Hi MrBeep.
Are there currently any issues? Even local traffic is like 1/4 line speed for me and for a colleague.
I got the same issue. I've been having a slow and inconsistent connection since last night. Went to work today and was hoping to have it sorted out today. Still the same...

Have done 54GB thus far this month, have done well over 250GB in a month before on 4Mbps Gamer King. Zero throttling ensued.
Please help me understand why I currently can only download at avg 42kB/s when I get 450kB/s and more when I connect my 3G modem. Shouldn't I at least be getting a download speed of close to 90kB/s on a 1mbps line?????
Is this because of shaping?
Thnx
You should get around 90 - 100kB/sec when there is no shaping applied. Run a local Speedtest and post the results here. Then do one to an international server. It's not the best way to test but will give a good indication of what's going on.

Sorry, cannot figure out how to post the picture directly.
I used to get an avg download speed of 90kB/s.
If you can do run these tests after 11pm tonight and see if there is any improvement.

Anybody else having problems with OW disconnection issues and slow speeds? I get disconnected at least 3 to 4 times a day. I have a standard 4 meg line but most days it's so slow I can't even open my gmail account. The last 2 months I've reported the problem numerous times and in some cases I had to wait upto 48 hours for a response from the support team. Their solution just give you a new username and password...
What happened to the good old days were OW responded within hours to any problem or query? Maybe it's time to start looking elsewhere....
Nope. Never had any disconnection issues with my account. Have you made sure the issue doesn't lie with the ADSL line itself?
So where do the Mega accounts fit in compared to your other offerings, Mr Beep? I have Gold Uncapped. Would the Mega account be higher or lower?
