OpenWeb Trial Accounts

Hi jvk,

1. are these test accounts different in an way with the account we will eventual sign up for ? No, they are the same
2. what accounts are these ? the standard ones or the gold account ? Standard Uncapped unless otherwise requested
3. whats the acceptable limit for a 1mb account - 100gb per month ? or is it like a rolling 30 day window ? We have no such figure.

Hi MrBEEP. Is it possible to get a 4 meg unshaped trial account? I have already signed up for this service and I just want to see what I am in for
 
Thank you for the trial account, I got it promptly. :) (Gold Uncapped)

Considering going back to the IS network seeing as how things have been with MTN lately...

Cheers.
 
ok just some feedback from my side, i have been using the account since Monday night and was very impressed with the speeds.
most of the time i was getting almost line speed, i do notice that between 6 and 8ish the speed does drop (especially yesterday) but it improves again and runs full speed until the morning. my main request was that my downloads are done when i return home and it was ! so very happy with the results. i've been hitting the account hard with the downloads and was not disappointed.

will probably take this account next month once my current one is canceled, hopefully they have some nice specials on :D hint hint mr beep :)

Hi MrBEEP

Are the line speeds on your gold packages throttled to the speed of the connection after hours or does it work like the other IS accounts in that it is open?

I was on the old IS fibre account with Axxess, but this new MTN crap is annoying me. They throttle the account an hour earlier in the morning than they used to and the account seems to be.. I duno, half throttled from 7pm until 11-12 pm most nights.
Oh and can you give me a link to the FUP on the gold accounts please?
 
Hi MadMan

Our After Hours Uncapped Unshaped package for R899 is not limited after hours

More info: http://www.openweb.co.za/after_hours_uncapped.html

The FUP is quite simple: Other than the 'do not be naughty' bit, you will be shaped based on how busy the network is at any given time if you are on a shaped package. When the network is not busy, you will be completely unshaped (which on average has been 65% of any given month). Unshaped accounts are unshaped. Full stop.
