[QUOTE="NoSnipeLimit, post: 53520, member: 984"] I had the Screamer ADSL uncapped 384kb account. Terrible latency for gaming, terrible for web-browsing, terrible for everything actually... Well did do a bit of downloading, but the connection is so unstable, if the applications didn't resume downloads I probably wouldn't have downloaded anything. Great idea... however having everyone connect to a machine, and having all that traffic be routed through it kinda kills it. Also the additional hops doesn't help. Cause lets face it, uncapped = download. I couldn't even download from saix or is ftp. That's how slow it was... my Steam wouldn't open most of the time. And downloading my steam games was a big pain in the rear. Afrihost which will be making their uncapped accounts for R198 or something is great, but they also say it's not for downloading 24/7. (this is shared connection also) Mweb which has a uncapped account for R219 sounds good, but i haven't phoned them yet to ask what are all the negatives (eg shared connection with everyone etc.) Screamer was so nice today as to send a mail saying their doing upgrades sundag, but instead of BCCing they just send to everyone my e-mail address very professional... Was very temped to do a reply to all... [/QUOTE]
