Openweb Gold

[cableguy]

Hey all

I thought I would take the time to let everyone know that I am very impressed with the new OpenWeb Gold uncapped account I bought from Openweb.

It is only the first day on the 4Mbps account, but its flying! Will keep everyone updated.

Good to know I'm considering the move at the end of the month - already cancelled with MWEB.

I've been on OW Gold since last month and it's damn good. Near full speed the whole day and pings are pretty good (average of 370ms to USA)

So far it's great so I'll be sticking with them

What backbone are you on?

 

[Budza]

+1 for Openweb.

My 384k Gold Uncapped has been chugging along for a couple months now. Decent yield for the price

Im on the Internet Solutions backbone

What backbone are you on?

What sort of speeds you getting, and from what sources? HTTP/NEWS/TORRENTS

 

[cableguy]

Torrents around 100K, HTTP Full Speed

Does Openweb also do this crap about "attempting to bypass shaping" when you use unfamiliar ports, or using SSL on newsgroups?

 

[KinsZA]

xrapidx which ISP speaks about attempting to bypass shaping ?

MWEB.. they went through a spate of banning users for doing just that, I am currently expecting a 'abuse' email from them for using astraweb over SSL (because the standard port gets you 10KB/s on 4MB for five days straight).

I am using OW's special 50G account at the moment, rapid and megaupload et al all dead. Can someone comment if they can download from the file-sharing sites?
