Plugg Uncapped ADSL Feedback

Not here.

I've been super surprised at both OpenWeb and Plugg. Tried trial accounts from both this weekend (posting from Plugg trial account).

I have a feeling Plugg will have a new customer next week... but I still don't know if they have a soft cap. OpenWeb say they don't, and that thy just shape the line.
 
there are stats from this morning on the jinx network http://stats.jinx.net.za/showtotal.php not sure what happened to SA's internet in the early hours.
Shogun, I've been with Plugg sofar for a week and its fantastic (touch wood). Great speeds, latency, reliability. Haven't really had an issue. Last night was the first time it went out but my mweb was also out and according it jinx it was a number of them.
I'm really impressed with Plugg, hopefully they keep it up and going by others comments here, looks like they have been keeping it up for sometime :)
 
Never seen a softcap on Plugg.Done over 300g in a month.

Thanks... that's pretty much the answer i was looking for. We'll be moving this week I think. Their trial account has been solid.
 
Thought I'd be helpful and post some more feedback here after signing up about a week ago.

...well, nothing to report really. Speeds are consistently fast on both international and local, really happy with my up and download speed, YouTube streams just as it should and haven't had any hint of a hiccup!

Plugg pro-rata for the remainder of the month in the month you join and they do credit card billing. Sure, it is too early to have any substantial evidence but based on what I've seen this weekend what others have said, I think Plugg is a solid ISP.
 
@PLuGG

I dont get why ISP's do not offer 6Mbs accounts?
I have a 6 Meg line so 4M account is a waste and 10M means I am being over charged.
Openweb is only ISP that has 6M accounts?
 
Being the ISP whore that I am, I have also been on their 4mb uncapped account for a week.
This account beats anything I have had before from any ISP, period. It's super stable, fast on any protocol and latencies are excellent!

I am truly happy with Plugg :)
 
So after reading this thread I was impressed and tried to get a test account from PluGG and I'm a bit disappointed with their response to be honest. First I sent an e-mail to their sales people, who then just closed the request and told me to ask them on Twitter or mail another e-mail address. I found this a bit annoying, because they didn't even bother to forward it internally. So yeah, thanks for nothing. E-mailed the other address and got no response all day. I'd have thought they'd be a bit more keen to do business. *shrug*

So not sure if I should wait some more or just go with OpenWeb. OpenWeb is definitely the more expensive option, but then I'm also certain I'd be able to get things sorted with them in no time.

Just send an email to [email protected] and he'll sort you out! It's not that hard.

4MB Uncapped Plugg
 
Well we tried out the Plugg trial for a few days earlier this month, and I must say I am impressed. Will likely be moving over for next month.
 
Got a plugg trial account and can already notice the difference coming from Afrihost uncapped. Sites load faster, speeds are consistent, youtube videos dont buffer!

I hope it stays like this :)
