Sign up with GoogleThanks for stating the obvious. I was enquiring if someone has found out why Vox is selling it like this. Capped is capped if I want to split it into 2 or more locations, I still only get to use the xxxGB I bought.

Yes but forecasting is a bitch for the ISP. I'd like an ISP with solid performance, and I'm willing to give up things like concurrent connections for it.

I was going to ask you to draw a picture so that I can understand but f-me, that's a picture.
And I don't understand
was going to post a "K" image but Google filled in Kangaroo so I went with it.

Then you should have asked "Can someone with insight into how Vox configures their products explain why they have chosen to configure their capped accounts to allow for a single connection only" and directed the question at Voxy or cvanwie.
Okay, just tested twitch and was fine, no buffering, i kept switching between high and source quality, still didn't have any issues....

Just signed up for the 100Gb special. Awesome deal. Kicked my Openweb capped account.
For those that are wondering. I was using Vox for long and they always had unlimited concurrent connections. This became a problem when they launched the R59 uncapped bolt on which meant that people could share the account and hammer it.
They reduced the concurrent connections to 1. Why fatpipe? Back then bolt on was able to be bolted on fatpipe accounts and I guess they saw limiting it to 1 was the best solution.
My friend still has his 100GB fatpipe with R59 bolton. Best account Vox ever sold but also financial ruin.....

Never thought that I'd ever see you say this!
Same experience in Durban. Latency consistent, throughput highly variable. Apple updates / services range from blazing fast to a snails pace. Not sure about MTN or Twitch, but Vimeo and YouTube stream reliably.

*claps*
No more openweb
Yeah can't have both
lol why? There is nothing wrong with the account but yeah anyone will be foolish not to take the Vox offer. I know the Vox backbone is top class so I know what i will be getting there.
