My Opinion - This far:

MrBeeps was so kind as to give me a 1 hour test account for the above.
Note this was between 11am and 12am, so it's pretty much peak time.

Some good results - some not so good results. You decide for yourself:

Here goes:

Firstly I must say the price seems to be great - by far the best I could find come Nov 1st.

P2P, using Limewire was much better than Saix, when not using the Proxy/Socks Server, but when using the proxy/socks server P2P was better on Saix. My results were:


OpenWeb Account (no Socks/Proxy) - avg 20 KB/sec
Saix (no Socks/Proxy) - avg 2 KB/sec
OpenWeb Account (using Socks/Proxy) - avg 20 KB/sec
Saix (using Socks/Proxy) - avg 44 KB/sec

(my P2P results was done on files where I was getting full results - downloaded from 8 users at a time on all of them)


For me it "felt" like the browsing (int and local) was about the same as I currently do on Saix.
FTP, HTTP, SMTP, etc was good. But like I said it felt like it - here is the results however:

ping google.com from Openweb account:
min = 806 ms - max = 811ms - avg = 808ms
ping google.com from Saix account:
min = 434 ms - max = 462ms - avg = 453ms


I have also run tracert on google.com for both accounts. If anyone need to see these let me know and I can post the results for that too.

I personally think it's running good and for the price (and 30Gig local), I must say I'm going for OpenBrowse 192 come Nov 1st - but that’s just me, and it's working great for what I use it for.

I would like to see more tests from different users though.

Yes, I actually did on Monday. Unfortunately I cant remember the pings, etc but it was running at a 100% from what you can expect of a 192 account.

My test time expired so I can’t look into it now, but I'm sure if you give MrBeeps an email or PM he will help you out with some tests.

Maybe anyone else that can give ping times, etc??
