That's for 6 hours out of 24 and only if they run out of capacity. MWEB throttles throughout the day. WebAfrica already throttles certain protocols to death even on their capped accounts. For example, I just quickly opened NewsBin and started to download some stuff over usenet as a trial, using my ...

Morning folks :) Hope that I can clear some of the queries that have been posted up here. First off, give our Feedback thread a read to fully understand the AUP - it's not bad, and comparing to our competitors, we've opted for a completely transparent AUP. In light of our Uncapped launch, we'd appre...

How do I access my usage on WA? You can view this via our DSL Console. Historical usage, authentication and top-ups can all be seen from here If I go over my cap, do I get throttled or do they just charge u for whatever gigs u use over ur cap? No throttling involved here. Since these are capped acc...

Still waiting for you guys to bring out a competitive uncapped service. I'll come back to you guys once you do that. Big things are happening around WA :) http://forums.webafrica.co.za/showthread.php/6357-Definitely-Maybe-New-ADSL-products?p=50897&highlight=#post50897 Not sure if you guys are a...

Best effort priority only takes place when the network is extremely busy.
Since we launched bandwidth prioiritisation we haven't once slipped into "best effort mode" on protocols.

Fair enough. I'd then just suggest jumping from one to another until you finally settle. I really doubt you're going to find anyone who will give you wildly positive feedback on uncapped ping. Perhaps we should get our resident WebAfrican to give some thoughts. Geoffrey? I'm here!! Havn't logged in...

Hey Stu,

You've got it spot on. If you do end up capping your peak bandwidth you can top-up though, and carry on using your data anytime.

We'll probably have a look at some numbers today

We had to take the page down just before the re-launch.
All up and running now though. Go enter, good luck dude!!

I'll take a case of Black Label please :p
Wait, are you bribing staff here?!

IMPORTANT NEWS: To make things easier, we've decided to change things up a bit. The chances of getting an account are increased even more! We've seen a few guys post up here and PM that don't have access to their PC's during the day or the sign-ups are failing. So, we're opening up the page today -...

@D3PART3D : Yup, they flying dude!! It's probably easier to try it out later in the week, less hype and all. Haha, Jeff can haz your interwebz :p @DAE_JA_VOO Drop me a PM with your client code and email addy you signed up with and I'll double check on my side. @Stu: LOL!! Maybe we should put that o...

For the guys who didn't manage to grab one today, a few answers:

With yesterdays bugs, we changed the sign-up button function a bit. Only the first 30 clicks would have got through. Anything after that would have been redirected.

Let me know if you guys have any questions. Question 1 : an "extra" 100GB of download plus ? Is this a once off thing or does it reset and for R199 we get 30GB normal usage AND 100GB of download plus EVERY month? Question 2 : Is it limited to just 384k or whatever you've got from telkom? ...

Excellent, I think I'll sign up too!

Be sure to keep an eye on the site tomorrow, the same time and hit sign-up as quickly as possible
All 30 accounts from today where sold in under 2 minutes.

Actually, now that you mention it, I'm assuming, Jeff, that this special applies regardless of your line speed? I can't see what difference line speed would make, but stranger things have been known to happen in SA's ISP world. Correcto's bud :) If you sync at 1Mbps or 10Mbps, you'll get your line ...

Nice find Stu!
You've now added another forum that needs replying too hehe

It's an awesome special though, I'm the first one to admit that. Our branding is sustainable again.
Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Heya StarPhoenix, Long time bud! Hope you still all well and work is treating you well :) On the WA repository side, we've simply setup a mirror on our server - like other repo's do too. You'll get untrusted packages if you've selected untrusted Ubuntu packages and files, like third party applicatio...

You don't need 30 hours ...... I can imagine. You must be learning a whole lot of new things. Marketing was one of my subjects. Really not as easy as it sounds.
