Openweb Uncapped Feedback

[Loopin]

Ports were reset on my 4mbps uncapped standard account, speed went back up to acceptable (3mbps http and 1mbps nttp).

I've decided to go with the after hours unshaped uncapped account though.. probably a bit better for my needs. :-D

Ok can someone tell me what the standard uncapped package is like? Time for a 4 meg line again.

Dude spare yourself the aggravation, just get an uncapped after hours package. Stinks during office hours but runs like a bull between 7pm-7am and all weekend!! R899 though... When and if your line gets bumped to 10mb you get max line speed during those hours...

I feel scammed, the test account works like a charm, but as soon as you pay for it you get so $#*@(&$ heavily shapped during the day you cant even download a simple 5 meg file.

However the only backbone that is fine is Altech (That is why alot of u 4 meg guys arent having issues), but you can only use it if you use their most expensive option... which means EVEN more money.

I am still running FULL speed on my 4Mbps Gold. Have you checked with Telkom?

How can it be telkom, during the night i get full speeds, and during the day my openweb account works like **** but my wazzup account gets full speeds....

How much did you pay?

Yea 900 bucks is a bit much i reckon . Would be nice to have an after hours 4 meg package for say 600 bucks. I only use the heavy stuff after hours anyhow. I will try openweb gold 4 meg because at least i can use it during the day as well. Need good interwebz during the day. I will have a bit a chin wag with telkom though because 900 is temping if i telkom can bump me up. That would be flippin epic.

Which newsdemon server are u using?

The US SSL server 95% of the time. On rare occasions I do switch to the EU one.

I'm on Altech. Torrents are shaped during the day but work nicely in the evenings

How shaped is shaped during the day?

I had the same issue on IS.It runs full speed at night and during the day its like a 384 line,everything is fine now.
Im on 1meg gold as well , ask mr.beep to reset your port or switch backbones

international seems dead slow today

Yeah but switch to which backbone?

 

[Simple.]

I'm completely fed up with VB backbone.

Been getting extremely slow speeds on my 4MB/s Gold Uncapped.

Here is the latest speed test. Don't even see how it's possible, since I was getting full speed on Altech a few days ago.

Anybody else have similar problems? Or is it just me?

EDIT:

Keoma switched me back to Altech backbone.

Now speeds are flying:

Yeah I'm on 1,3 kb/s consistent with my Gold Account. Even a local HTTP site is dead slow. Feel like I have wasted money this month....

 

[nova69]

Are you on IS aswell? I haven't asked to switch to any other backbone because vb and altec don't work with apex.There is also bcsnet backbone

I have a Gold uncapped and pretty much most of my family has Gold and it is running full throttle! Not a glitch.

In fact, I am ordering another one for my branch in Durban.

Went down the Mweb road, what waste of time.

Ever since i got my ASDL around 2 years ago i have enjoyed unshaped and 384k.(SAOL previously)
As of the first of this month i went down to a shaped account,even switching backbones(IS performing better then BCS).
What i forgot to take into account was how superior unshaped is over my current shaped package.

MRBEEP:

Will a 384k Gold unshaped package perform similar to a Gold 1mb uncapped shaped package?

Im contemplating increasing line speed to 1mb at my new premises and rather going for that in 2 months.

I must say i sincerely regret dropping to shaped even if im not using my Interwebz full time as i was at home.

Can my old package be reinstated during the month?

Warm regards DA.

Upgrade complete and i know i was supposed to 60min for the upgrade to be completed but 2min later the difference is DIFFICULT NOT TO NOTICE.

Full line speed and browsing whilst p2p is active without the slowdown i was used to with shaped.

Thanks MRBEEP!

I say thanks by modding my sig for you.
