Openweb has been overcharging me!

Openweb is only offering one type of capped account, my account can't be different to the ones they are currently offering. And I get unbearable slow speeds anyways.

Well I have a capped unshaped account and I can tell you now it is not slow. It is one of the best accounts you can get. So if yours is slow. You are not on the capped unshaped account or your exchange is congested. IF you were on a uncapped account I would believe you because Openweb's uncapped accounts are absolute garbage to be honest.
 
They generally just keep everyone @ whatever they initially signed up for. Works out well for some (specials) and not so well for others (you).

As others have said various other concerns might need to be factored in as well though

Let me ask you this, is your password also 1122?
 
cavedog said:
Nope.... it like a random generated password. There is also a place in the control panel where I can change it.

They still have visibility on it, so even though the password is random it doesn't mean its just yours. This random generated could just be the next 1122
 
You guys have old passwords. The new one is 2211

That's because they've got so little clients left, there's not enough people on the network to congest it :D

That said, you should still jump ship as soon as possible.

Yeah, I'm getting about 350gb on my 2mb line every month too, so I'm sticking it out until they either go bankrupt or my account starts having issues.
