Uncapped accounts & 384k

[zll]

The majority of whining, sorry, I mean complaints seem to be coming from 4 meg users. What is performance like on the various uncapped accounts for 384k users?

I moved to the openweb new uncapped account from my IS express account, and while I have been prepared to for a bit of a performance drop I am really quite annoyed ...
Pings to saix range from 80ms to 2000ms within 5 lines and nothing else is on my line at the time. Internet is fine, and fair, but the downloads right now are being strangled, I will have another look after 7pm and see if there is an improvement. Honestly if this continues I will be testing the afrihost account.

While I realise that there is a price drop, the drop in bandwidth is disappointing. Maybe I am missing something, but otherwise the Openweb/IS R219 is not looking worth it.

ping : 135ms
Download : 0.12Mb/s
Upload : 0.09Mb/s

i upgraded my capped afrihost acc to uncapped afrihost 384 this morning.
and it is chugging along at full speeds.
even with torrents.
still early days but lets see.

I am with Axxess, web surfing seems fine, but youtube, downloads, torrents is slow.. I am lucky if I get 15kb/s.. On the gaming side, MW2 lags like hell, Guilds Wars plays fine, but any updates is a nightmare to download. I had a full 1kb/s download on updates for guildwars, steam does not even download

With Imagine.

HTTP running slow, which I don;t think it should be.

Uncapped 384k users might also want to check out this program: Netbalancer. Helps making browsing bearable whilst downloading flat out via prioritisation. Be warned though: It installs system drivers to pull that off and no x64 yet. I'm running it in a VM for those reasons.

That looks nice, thanks. But I have Windows x64

Same here. Thats why I run it in a VM with Win x86 installed. Not an ideal soluation, but helps when juggling multiple things on the same line.

I have afrihost 384, applied around the 25th of March. Pulled around 12Gb in those few days using torrents & newshost @ full speed. Pings do suck though on BFBC2 my ping is about 100 more than normal...
