Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
Sentech, Uncapped??
- Thread starter Snaz
- Start date
Sentech doesn't have different ISP. There is only one - Sentech. And it is basically uncapped. Your cap depends on the contract you take out. MyWireless 128 has a 10GB softcap. A softcap means that when you reach 10GB, a rep from Sentech will phone you and ask you to slow down.
Sentech packages are completely unshaped
All this for R499 a month (R599 including the modem on a 24 month contract)
Go check out http://www.nowire.co.za/
They are a great reseller. I managed to get up and running withing a couple of hours

It's supposed to be unshaped already.

my only gripe is seemingly the 4.7 KB/s throtle but its not consistent practice.
I'm with them only because i get more data from them. i'm on the 128k package
To those of you on 256k or 512k, do u still experience the 4.7KB/s throtle from time to time ?

I find that if i do P2P then yes, i get the speeds u have specified. But if i do a download, like NokiaPCsuite or some driver off an FTP or even normal website, i get 4.7KB/s.
I'm on 256, but don't get the 4.7 error. 
That's either using FreeDownloadManager (to multi-thread the download) or downloading using normal IE download. Can get Skype down from front to end and it stayes in the 20's.

...wait better yet, you go ahead and keep downloading at "4.7", leaves more bandwidth for me and the rest who know how to use the connection we're given...!!

well it did and i for one am very angry.
no really.. this sentech thing sounds pretty cool, too bad the start up costs suck so bad.. i thnk they said that they were going to try lower modem prices to stay competitive (with Iburst).
