Hi there everyone, I have been looking around for a thread specifically dealing with Snowball's upcapped wireless but could not find anything specific, so apologies it this is duplicated elsewhere.

I have had the Snowball 2gb 1mbps account for a number of months now and have been very happy. So when they released their uncapped I immediately moved to it. Alas, what a nightmare. My connection has been getting slower and slower each day and the general browsing experience has gone down the drain. Youtube is impossible to watch, and even normal sites takes up to a minute to load. My speedtests are inconclusive (im on the 384kb uncapped option) but at the moment I am seeing a max dl speed of about 60kbps. Trying to dl drivers from HP is impossible - ftp protocol connecting at 300bps! Yes bps.

cheers
Saevus

Give us a traceroute to google maybe? A lot of these guys will give you uncapped which they buy from MWEB and that is where your problem is... I tried the uncapped from my WISP and after a month and half I moved back as it was just as ****ty as you describe :( maybe go back to the capped service and wait until things are more stable (if it happens)

Hi buddy.

im also planning to go the uncapped route with snowball. the 384kb line ur on are crap. it cost R249 if im not mistaken. your capped option was 1024kb, so just call them ans move to the 1024b uncapped @ 349pm then all ur problems are solved. you can even try the 2,4 or 10mb option if you got more money to spend:
