I have a Gold uncapped account. I wonder how silver competes?

In short, from what I remember, Silver just has a higher contention ratio, so the chances of being unshaped on Gold is higher than on Silver.

For Comparison, NON-SPECIAL PRICES: (from their site)

1 Mbps Vanilla Uncapped | Shaped/Vanilla | R179
1 Mbps Standard Uncapped | Standard/Shaped | R197
1 Mbps Silver Uncapped | Silver/Semi-Unshaped | R239
1 Mbps Gold Uncapped | High Priority on Network | R329


SPECIAL PRICES:
1 Mbps Standard Uncapped | Standard/Shaped | R109
1 Mbps Silver Uncapped | Silver/Semi-Unshaped | R189

So essentially you will now get "Standard Uncapped" for R70 less than "Vanilla Uncapped",
and "Silver Uncapped" for basically the same price as "Vanilla Uncapped"


Getting their "3rd tier" connection for the same price as their "1st tier" vanilla uncapped isn't bad at all..

When it comes to ISP accounts I use this logic "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". There's too much shaping and throttling shena****ns going on to make me risk my perfect GOLD account.

shena****ns ... oh lol iz I

Why not provide the line rental in a special price? Or provide line rental on its own special whatever
