Not sure about the difference between gold and standard on the higher line speeds but in terms of latency on the 384 there doesn't seem to be any huge difference between gold and standard. Local latency seems identical and latency on wow is slightly lower but not by much. My guess would be that the gold makes a bigger difference somewhere else than the latency.

Is this true? I've been using 4Meg Gold since August last year and at the end of the month it definitely feels slower, not that I mind too much.

Gold vs Std uncapped (experience and MrBeep)
Lower contention ratio.
Choice of backbones: IS,VB, and a few more
No threshold. (Note that throttling is limiting your linespeed in total, not just for a protocol, that's shaping).
In my experience the shaping is also not as strict. Except of course torrents on VB, that's a no-go :p
Latency-wise I can't remember though.
 
Iv been using Gold for the first time this month and its been nothing but incredible over VB :)

*Facepalm* I'm such an idiot, I was actually thinking of the shaping that seems to increase as the month goes by. Does it change throughout the month or am I just being paranoid?

Paranoia FTW :p

On Gold I actually found shaping to be a minimum.
 
Haha I knew it was paranoia. Damn now I'm paranoid that I suffer from paranoia.

Can't compare Standard and Gold since I've always had Gold and yes I do agree that it's worth the extra cashish. Wish platinum wasn't that much more expensive.
 
Uncapped standard 4MB 100% dead during the day. Get maybe 1k if I'm lucky. Had to buy other bandwidth to use the Internet during the day.

This probably happens when you download to much?

Your not alone, 4mb uncapped gold account

daytime browsing/downloads (torrent/news/http/ftp) = dialup speeds, after 8 it picks up ( thats with less than 40gb used )

openweb support response : telkom issue.. ( for 4 weeks, --highly-- doubtful if the axxess/webafrica/afrihost/mweb accounts work perfectly during the same time of day )

Paranoia!

Shaping on gold is WAY less, definitely worth the cash

I definitely disagree on shaping.I downloaded 400GB the past 2 months and now in May I cannot get more than 100KB/s.Personally very surprised that you get shaped so harshly on Gold uncapped.
 
Hey Friends,

Telkom are performing alot of maintenance tonight on their network. Some clients might experience slower speeds.

ETA: Telkom time.
