Account has not been working for the last hour. Tested FNB, Afri and Cybersmart. All working.

Mr Beep, can you assist? Are you guys having problems? My account has been lagging for the last two weeks.

Edit: Account up and running.

Hi.
Hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.

I am currently on a 10Mbps Standard Uncapped account with Openweb, which has been working ok.
I am thinking of migrating to a 10Mbps Gamers King account but have been told by Openweb staff that my current Standard Uncapped is on a superior service level than the Gamers King account so that has left me in tough spot.
Do I "downgrade" as most of my downloading is done after hours which the Gamers King account is advertised at as same level as Gold Uncapped.

How have your experiences been with the Gamers King accounts.

Thanks for assistance.

Why do you want to change?

From personal experience the saying"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" really applies to ISP accounts.

Just trying to eek out the most possible speeds from my ADSL.
You would notice I said my current account is OK. (Gets shaped as per normal shaping policies etc. Sometimes sucks when networks are busy but always comes back to normal after a few hours. Overall its ok.)
I am looking for maximum downloads after hours as well as an account that works well on Netflix and Hulu.

You won't be downloading any more once you start Netflix.

That aint true. If you want proper 720p quality with 5.1 sound, streaming just doesn't cut it. I like 5.1 and 720p or even 1080p quality TV episodes, so most of mine doesn't get streamed.
