Vox fatpipe vs uncapped

[nadeem_k]

Hi Guys,

I am looking to move from Telkom ADS. I just wanted to clarify what is the difference in performance between the uncapped and fat pipe options. The pricing for the uncapped option is almost the same as the 75gb fat pipe deal. I understand that both are unshaped so I was wondering what is the point of fat pipe option if you can get uncapped for a similar price?

Please Note:

With Uncapped solutions we reserve the right to use the bandwidth management practice of reducing a user’s connection speed, (throttling) based on usage patterns and history.

Fatpipe is capped and fully unshaped and unthrottled.

But what does the fair usage mean? After how many GBs will I be throttled?

I think they're just IS accounts (been mentioned by some members), so it's the 10-day rolling window star system.

Basically if you download a lot during the day you will get shaped. if you keep your downloads for after midnight you'll be fine.

Thanks. But what's regarded as a lot?
