Thx Budza

I wonder what they do on 4mb users

Would you need to max your line?

I only max mine as it's so slow. Were I to use a 4Mb account, I probably wouldn't do much more than I'm doing now. Just faster :)

If you can avoid the strangulation, TI is fine.
 
Why not just use usenet instead of torrents?

Are the telkom servers any good or will I have to sign up to other servers, finding nzb's has become a hassle for me ever since nzbmatrix went dead as you could easily sort out the crap from the good stuff. I've still got some astraweb bandwidth left.

Anyone want to send me an invite to http://nzbsa.co.za/ ? I also want to see what this is all about, as I'm sick of torrents

Usenet is kiff cept for DMCA mass takedowns. I find myself relying on torrents more and more for tv epis.
 
Speed is nowhere tonight in Paarl... anyone else down South side suffering? 4mb line...
 
Fanks...

It was up and down this side... seems to be levelling out now - but was forced to phone in for a reset, since nothing was happening slowly earlier... Hitting 3,5mb now - occasionally drops down to 2,2 - 2,5mb, so not too bad...
 
I'm considering increasing my line speed to 4MB, from 2MB.

Can anyone on 4MB confirm the amount of GB you pull can before being throttled?

Some people are saying 320-350GB.

I pulled 240GB so far this month and haven't been throttled yet, and lord knows I was trying to get throttled but ran out of stuff to download
 
Tweaknews is awesome for no takedowns and good retention, its like R45 p/m.

Im with usenetserver.com at the mo, speeds are awesome but at least 60% of my grabs fail because of take downs. Not worth the 100 rond a month that it costs. Anyone tried a vpn service for streaming? I gave it a shot this month but speeds were ridiculously slow.

Never been throttled so the answer's in the wind :)

Stats this month:

Have to say I'm really happy with TI 4Mb Uncapped and seldom need to fallback on my capped accounts.
