Thanks for the IS test accout MRBEEP.
I asked mrbeep for this account to see how it would compare with my SAIX accounts as I like many of you are dreading the 1st of November and the changes it would bring ie the hardcap.
I use my dsl mainly for gaming and downloads and thought if I were to change from SAIX to IS these to factors would have to work and work well.
Here is the mail I send to him after using the account:
Hi MRBEEP,
First of all are you sure this is an account from IS

I tested the following so far:
Local browsing is super fast. I would say it is on par with all my saix accounts.
International browsing is IMO a little bit slower than SAIX ,but this could be just me as it still seems fast enough.
I was bust downloading an international torrent when you mailed me and the speed I got from SAIX was maxing out my line at 49kb/s on my 384dsl line.
I disconnected from that account to your test account and was downloading the same torrent at my lines max speed ie 49kb/s.
I played battlefield 2 and counter strike both on SAIX SGS servers and got the same ping maybe a little higher but not by much on your test account without lag issues.
I havent tried Skype so I cant comment on that.
So if this is a IS account I would say it mirror pretty much the speed I was getting on my SAIX accounts. I have accounts with WebAfrica and Telkom.
Anyways I would definetly consider an account with openweb and IS if the speeds would be the same.
Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know or tested.
Can I use the account until 10:00

peace
