I haven't had any shaping issues on this account.
It runs flatout for me all day.

Thats good to know, thanks for the response. Will obviously use this to help make my decision of a new ISP. The uncapped packages are also not that badly priced. I just hope the Uncapped and capped perform the same or as close to as possible.

I dont think in your case its shaping, as much as it might just be throttling? A lot of ISP's are not too keen on P2P as far as i know. Its the main reason i switched to NNTP.

if its throttling then would that not affect my overall browsing experience?
 
Stillie said:
ah...

learn something new every day...possibility of throttling to the point where p2p cannot be used period? ie 2 gigs in a week?

Have you tried scheduling your P2P for like 12am-6am, you might get better results those times.

Any idea on the performance of those?

According to the site, its saying that Fat Pipe data is unshaped?

I have the Samsung promo and it performs 100%. Very impressed and will opt for a Fat Pipe package once this runs out.

thing is you cancel.... go to who? from what i have seen there are no real ISP's that anyone can brag about? Axxess - seeing complaints, Afrihost, left them for Vox, Ti - wont touch them with high pings in the evening, only ISP i havnt tried is Bitco but cannot afford the setup cost.

sigh....

I'm happy with Connection. I might keep a bolt-on account for the weekends to protect my star rating, but I'll see, my usage has dropped quite a lot lately.

Nice to know guys! Thanks! So i'll give it a shot, and if good enough, ill probably be cancelling my Internet account with TI and when the promo data is finished from VOX i might consider an uncapped package with them.

No newsserver for Vox. Also with regards to your uncapped comment, they use IS based uncapped accounts afaik

AFIK IS has a news server, i must just check, could work.

Vox has no news server.
I use Usenetbucket and download at full line speed on my 20Mb line.

Since i'll be saving about R600 after cancelling my TI account, i think i should carry on using the Nextgen news server for a couple Hundred a month.

Usenetbucket costs me about R49 for the month and always flies full speed with 25 connections.

Bear in mind that Vox uncapped isn't on Vox backbone, but IS.

Only fat-pipe and gig4gig is on Vox backbone.
 
Cool! Thanks for responses guys!

Honestly cant wait to get the TI account out the way!
