uncapped adsl

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.

Their uncapped has a variable thresholds depending on line speed....

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?

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

) 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,

When do you think we will truly have uncapped adsl

DeathStrike · Post by **DeathStrike** » 24 Mar 2009, 18:17

i'm thinking mayb after 2010? what u think?

Vampyre_2099 · Post by **Vampyre_2099** » 24 Mar 2009, 21:20

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...

VinceThePrince · Post by **VinceThePrince** » 25 Mar 2009, 09:43

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...

M1ke · Post by **M1ke** » 25 Mar 2009, 17:42

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

VinceThePrince · Post by **VinceThePrince** » 26 Mar 2009, 09:32

Axxess...

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.

VinceThePrince · Post by **VinceThePrince** » 26 Mar 2009, 11:36

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...
