uncapped adsl

Post by geraldhum »

Hi guys

What would be the cheapest isp to get uncapped? An isp that doesn't block p2p networks.

Sounds a little too suspicious... Uncapped, unblocked P2P ADSL? I sense illegality

*EDIT* : Garrr, but who be I to judge?

HD game trailers are 300Mb. Demo's are way over 2Gb. A day over at GameTrailers and YouTube's gonna cost you 4Gb.

Of course it's needed. Sadly there is no such thing in this country, they all have 10 day / 10Gb thresholds so your uncapped account will be capped at 30Gb pm IF you behave.

add services like mythTV, and 30GB is nothing...

A question... What do you think one should pay for uncapped 448/256kbps Access Plus; and 1536/512 kbps Fibre Xpress? Not only ADSL but Satellite?
By the way, apart from IS in KZN, who else are good ISPs?
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

www.adsl.co.za have been the best to me so far... 24 hour support (and great to chat to when you off your head at 4 in the morning :twisted: ) and they know what they are talking about....

And they have just launched their new 6-2-6 product...

I know. It's all a false image of "uncapped".
Cry!

Otherwise, I'd recommend Axxiss, like some other people have,

I doubt it too. Even in the US uncapped is slowly becoming rarer and rarer.
With bittorrent and internet TV, it's just too easy for a group of tech-savvy users to put serious strain on an ISPs infrastructure.

it is as M1ke says in regards to what the net gets used for.

I had no problem when I had 512 IS uncapped a year or so back, but that was because I only downloaded limited stuff... for me a month would be about 30gigs and if I were truly busy, 40+... compared to some people who you would find do something like 70+ in a month with their net running 24/7 on news servers...

I'm on a "pay-as-use" option with my ISP... so in a way, the only limit I have in terms of bandwidth is the amount of money I have... @ R55 a gig (semi-shaped), I have used up to 35gb in a month, sometimes less, sometimes more...

Who's your ISP? R55 semi-shaped is pretty good...

Axxess... :D

They also have a 6-2-6 option which is Unshaped from 6pm to 6am for R55.00/gb

*Why do I suddenly feel the need to become an Axxess reseller... hehehehe*

I'm also on Axxess, but take a look here: http://www.axxess.co.za/basic.php
I pay R60 per GB... although I was on the shaped bandwidth? Did they through that away and replace it with semi-shaped? Cause semi-shaped used to be R75 per GB.

Sorry... I just saw my finger fault... it is R69.00/gb on prepaid for semi-shaped...

It is still only R55.00/gb for pre-paid 6-2-6, and R45/gb for a month to month package...
