It is exactly the same as our R500 product, except it only allows 1 concurrent connection.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>According to DigiChilli the service has no thresholds and no rolling download windows.&nbsp; Peer-2-Peer services and torrents are allowed on the network, but DigiChilli points out that this is a &lsquo;managed service&rsquo; which means that business protocols will get priority on the network.&nbsp; &ldquo;Network conditions will determine the speed of P2P and torrents,&rdquo; said Smith.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Unlike other uncapped products in the market, we don&rsquo;t throttle our users and we allow them to use the full capacity on their line with a minimum speed Quality of Service,&rdquo; Smith concluded.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=204836\"><strong>Uncapped ADSL for R 300<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; discussion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New uncapped ADSL service using SEACOM bandwidth launched at lowest price ever in SA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adsl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10622"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10622\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
