Verizon Business

[Corrosive]

OK... since Axxess has taken away their ADSL line service I have had to find another option. I am think of getting this offer (http://mybroadband.co.za/news/ADSL/3102.html) and then purchasing from Axxess for additional bandwidth. Does anyone use Verizon Business Unshaped here?

say wot?

Can you link where you heard this?

Please tell me its about this

To all current and prospective Axxess ADSL line customers:
We regret to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control
we will not be accepting any new line orders for the time being. This
will not affect any existing Axxess ADSL lines and line orders if you
have an order outstanding, we will be contacting you shortly.

yeah.. i hadn't ordered yet... was waiting on telkom for a normal phone line

So sorry about that. Ment no new orders.

 

[Oculate]

Ah... you had me worried

Now that has been solved. Did you know that not only Axxess offered this service but Web Africa does too? And according to a lot of people I've heard they have the best pings for WoW too

Thread Hijack In Progress...

What sort of pings do you get from WebAfrica?

 

[Corrosive]

i think I am gonna try this anyway... If worse comes to worse I'll just switch between the Nashua and Axxess accounts for either work or fun. It still works out cheaper then the other products on offer.
Will let everyone know how it works out...

Just watch out for contracts

WA pings on shaped is normally at 400ms

On the WA unshaped accounts you can choose between SAIX, and Verizon with one account. I've got a IS shaped fibre account for normal use and a WA account for gaming. Lately I have been getting pretty much the same latency on both the Unshaped and Shaped accounts.

If you have a WA account all you do is change your username by adding a .s at the end for SAIX, and .V for Verizon. So if one suddenly sucks, You can quickly switch to the other to check whats going on. Usually this way I get to play uninterupted other than the 5 secs to switch and then relog in

I use a Verizon unshapped account. With WinVista Business and a shedload of addons I average around 400-600ms.

My room-mates on XP and Mac average 250-400ms even with 3 of us playing.

I don't know what Vista's problem is.
