Hey mense

I've seen many threads about how *** openweb are etc. But i've used their services for 2 years now and have never had a problem. Im looking at getting their uncapped account. 4mb for R2899

1 think i want to know is; how come they can offer a 4mb uncapped for that price yet when you look at other ISP's like webafrica, they only offer 1mb uncapped for R3300

Am i missing something cause this looks like a damn good deal.
 
Is that for business use? Cos I'm pretty sure there are more reasonable alternatives...
 
Yep business use. We using on average 10gb a day now so i dont know of any other alternatives?
Please if you know of any let me know :)
You can get like 100gb accounts but they go for like R6500 ...

I would check that out for a month or so because people are pulling some crazy amounts of data and i doubt they pulling that with 384.

Very cheap, i am not sure if those top 10 users are in total or per month or what though. Yea 2.8k is awesome though.
 
problem is the :
A 10 day rolling threshold applies to this account - This means when you use more than the threshold amount during a 10 day period, your line speed will be lowered but not disconnected.

We kinda need our line to be running at 4mb constantly.
 
The most you can download at max speed on a 384kbit/s line is 124416 MB, or 124 GB

826GB on a 384kbit is lying....



384/8bits = 48KB/s

48*60*60*24*30 = 124416000 KB, or 124416 MB, or 124 GB.

You get full speed at night
 
the uncapped products from Axxess are aimed at consumers not businesses
 
have you factored in weekends?

EDIT: Hmmm. I make it that running the line fully all month (30 day month with 8 days of weekend) is about 645GB.

some calculations: (let's assume it's this month and that the line is always throttled during the day on a 4mbps line)

at 192kbps, and allowing 20% for overheads, you can download 19.2KBps (192 / 8 * 0.8).
so for 12 hours during the weekdays you can download 0.83GB (19.2 * 60 * 60 * 12 / 1000 / 1000).

at 4096kbps, and allowing 20% for overheads, you can download 409.6KBps (4096 / 8 * 0.8).
so for 12 hours during the weekdays you can download 17.69GB (409.6 * 60 * 60 * 12 / 1000 / 1000).

for 24 hours during a weekend day you can do double that, 35.38GB.

this month, there are 21 weekdays and 10 weekend days, so the total you can download will be (21 * 0.83) + (21 * 17.69) + (10 * 35.38) = 742.72GB

so even if you only use your line during full speed sessions you can still pull 725.29GB

yeah true, I also found that when i did the calculations, but, you need to add the upload to the total amount ;)

as in you should be dividing by 1024 instead of 1000
