Openweb's After Hours Uncapped

[Alan]

Anybody using this After Hours Uncapped account?

How are the speeds and are you really only capped after 200gigs. How severe is the shaping if you pass that threshold?

Oh and I don't suppose line rental is included....

I'm also wondering between that and Openweb Gold.

I only have a 4MB line.

Amazing how data prices have been reduced significantly but those bastards at Telkom haven't dropped their line prices a cent. Just this 10mbs scam

Bit off Topic here but we have a customer on a 10mbps line who is literally next door to an exchange and they don't get more than 7 odd mbps.

I been using this for the last 3 months and it's fantastic!! I've noticed no throttling or shaping other than between 7am and 7pm during weekdays. The rest of the time it runs at full line speed and that includes past the 200gig threshold!!

My line is a 10mb line. These are an example of my usage stats per hour on this account.

EDIT: It is R899 per month excluding line rental...

Pity they don't offer 4mbs uncapped after hours for say R500.

It's hard to get a clear indication of how much you can DL on the uncapped LITE and MWeb uncapped but I can't see how this Afterhours uncapped is worth the +- R400 more.

It is totally unshaped after hours and on weekends. This makes it worth R400 more.

You could in effect get in the region of 650gigs a month on a 4mb line using it between 7pm and 7am weekdays and all weekend...

If its like Axxess Uncapped Fibre+ you can actually get 800Gb no probs

I to am deciding what package to go with
First I thought of OW standered then .Thought about getting gold then I thought why not pay the extra and get after hours then again after hours is slow during the day were as gold is not

They should make it shaped 4meg during the day and then unshaped at night instead of offering us slow speeds in the day and fast/unshaped at night

Is there nobody on the forum that can give us the amount of data they pull on a 4meg Gold or Afterhours uncapped account
Thank you to sandman for your information really wish I could get a 10meg line still waiting and waiting so for now most of us will have to stick with 4meg.

I really do not want to pay R899 for an account that I do not need If I can get around 150-200 gigs on gold I will opt for that if not afterhours

Please can somebody give us some insight on these two accounts .

Well I'm on 4 Meg Gold and the least I've done in a month is 280 gigs (This is without bypassing shaping or anything like that). If you don't have a > 4 Meg line then Afterhours might be a waste.

I'm also considering Openweb's After Hours Uncapped. How does this packages performance compare to Afrihost's capped offering in terms of international speed and latency?

On a par. I use an Afrihost capped account during office hours and the Openweb uncapped after hours package after hours and there is no discernible difference in performance.. both IS...
