Openweb Forever

I'm thinking of joining openweb at the end of the month when my mweb account is finally cancelled.

What I wanna know is, what's the disparity in performance between all the accounts? Yes, I can see the differences on their website, but I'm referring to how they differ in reality. Everyone says OW Gold is the best, but are they talking about the shaped or the unshaped gold account? As the price difference is pretty big. If the shaped one isnt recommended, then how big a difference in performance is there between the standard/silver/gold shaped account?

I am quite a heavy downloader, but not 24/7. Probably somewhere between 100-200gb a month on my 1mb line. (btw, 1mb is the highest speed my line will sync at whilst remaining stable). Which account should fit my needs best?

Thanks.

Then get Shaped Gold. Unshaped Gold only really necessary if you have very specific requirements or work from home.

I'm on Shaped Gold.

I'm using a shaped 1mb Gold account and I managed over 200gb last month. I usually use between 160gb - 200gb a month.
 
Perfect, thanks for the responses.

Best ISP decision you will ever make! You won't look back :). Even during daytime hours they give me fantastic speeds :). After 6pm if I look at my phone line outside - it is shaking from the break-neck speeds I get. Lol. Just kidding but it does really fly my side from 6pm onwards. On a 2mb account and get 220kb/s. During the day (even with P2P) I will get around 120kb/s - 160kb/s. Hope this helps you. :)
 
How to ESCAPE OPENWEBwith the least amount of loss and financial loss!!!!!

So recently I had to run the gauntlet with trying to get away from OpenWeb and as many other people on this site can attest to. And as you'll be able to pick up from the mail trail that I will add, I'm being forced to pay OpenWeb for another month even though as far as I'm concerned all evidence points to the contrary.

So I decided to do my utmost to ensure that EVERYBODY that would like to GET OUT OF THEIR OPENWEB ENSLA.......... sorry, I meant to say CONTRACT, got to do that simply and WITHOUT CONFUSION.

So follow these steps as it was clearly told to me by ATHOL WESSELINK(OWNER OF OPENWEB) when I phoned him on HIS PERSONAL CELL PHONE(and YES I DO HAVE HIS PERSONAL CELL NUMBER), and laid out in the email correspondence with OpenWeb, to unsure that you dont find any unexpected barriers to your exit from OpenWeb.

Follow These Steps Clearly and Properly and accept that if you follow the following steps you will only pay a further R58 to OpenWeb as opposed to the alternative of another months full contract payment for a service that might or might not leave you feeling like you want to go into the shower to scrub yourself down with a steel brush and turpine:

1. Immediately email [email protected], [email protected] and very clearly request you internet service downgraded to a 1GB GOLD CAPPED R29 ACCOUNT as of the very first of the next month!

2. Post the email request on the OpenWeb MyBB discussion page to ensure that your request cannot get lost by accident or misunderstood by any of the OpenWeb support or management team.

3. Post the reply from OpenWeb on the OpenWeb MyBB discussion page to make sure that OpenWeb cannot, by accident, forget any email statements that they make to you!

4. On the first of the month, day one of your first month as a R29 1Gb GOLD CAPPED ACCOUNT holder email [email protected] and [email protected] and give your one CALENDER MONTH NOTICE PERIOD stating very clearly that your last day with OpenWeb will be last day of the month.

5. Post your email and the response from OpenWeb on the MyBB OpenWeb page to ensure that there is no miscommunication or misunderstanding between you and OpenWeb, and the forum members can be witness to the discussion.

6. THIS LAST PART IS VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE PLANNING TO LEAVE OPENWEB, TELL THEM THE DOWNGRADE IS TEMPORARY(Which isn't a lie because soon your downgrade will become a cancellation)

So after everything, you'll end up spending R58 in total for two more months at OpenWeb, as opposed to R300, R400 or MORE for a SINGLE MONTH

Remember to POST ALL YOUR CORRESPONDENCE with OpenWeb, otherwise confussion can set in(BY ACCIDENT OF COURSE)
