Hi guys,
Im going for an openweb uncapped standard account and was wondering how its like .
How is the throttling ?
Is youtube bufferless?
How much could I push with this service?
Or would I be better off with a 384kbps gold account? Thanks any help greatly appreciated.

I've had it for a short while now, just a couple weeks. Account is on the BCSnet backbone. I haven't tried You Tube, but the videos of game reviews, and game clips on Gamespot and IGN buffers. It takes very long. And I am basically unable to do the torrent thing because it crawls (worse than dial-up). I haven't tested it at different hours of the day though, and tbh I only tested twice. I haven't tested NNTP either, because I have a local IS account which I use with the IS News servers. Browsing and HTTP downloads at full line speed.

I know there's alot of feedback on the Gold account, but I would also like to know what others are experiencing on this account.

I have the 1mbs Vanilla account and I don't have YouTube troubles anytime during the day. OpenWeb doesn't meter downloads so you could do easily 60-100gb a month depending on how dramatic shaping is. I have not experienced any major shaping below 384kbps.

Hey GPM,

If you run a speedtest after 6pm are the results still so slow?

From what I see, using Ti as an example, is that when Ti throttles your account your speedtest results reflect your throttled speed. Shaping shouldn't result in a slower speedtest, especially since all ISP prioritise speedtests. Unless your ISP shapes HTTP traffic too.

Just my 2cents...
