It's up to the ISP, some will definitely upgrade the users for free, and I'm sure some will tell their users to pay extra :P Most companies tend to exploit the less informed users.

When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!
See, here's the thing... NO ISP will upgrade their 1MB customers to 2MB for the same price... It does not make sense.Originally Posted by Wyzak

if 2mb price is more than the old 1mb price then im sure they will just keep you @ 1mb and drop how much you are paying monthly

Guys. Mweb wont just upgrade you, because its an extra R160 or so to go from 1mbps uncapped to 2mbps uncapped. AS for the speed syncing upgrade, that is meant to be seamless, and you are already paying extra if you were on a 1mbps line, its only an extra R10-20 though for that.
Pretty much only uncapped data accounts will have to pay more for an increased speed, which makes sense.
On my side of things, I had a 1mbps line managed by WA with a small 2gig cap. Then I have 1mb uncapped data package from Mweb. The line was upgraded for free (of R10 extra or so). But then I had to phone mweb to upgrade me to 2mb uncapped and agree that I'm fine with the extra data cost.

I on a 384kbps, will be waiting a tad longer for 1mbps. Cybersmart has downgrade fees? Do other ISP's have such a fee?

You need to inform Cybersmart if you want to stay on 1MB, or they will automatically upgrade you to a 2MB line. There is no downgrade fee, but once you have been upgraded to 2MN you need to give them a calender month's notice to downgrade you back to 1MB... so you will end up having 2MB for a month if you don;t let them know in advance that you do not wish to upgrade.
I'm just baffled as to why people use MWeb for uncapped, when Afrihost is much cheaper.
MWeb 4Mbps uncapped - R539p/m
Afrihost 4Mbps uncapped - R397p/m
Either some people don't consider all of their options well, or there are some details I'm missing (MWeb offering better overall speed, more consistent line speeds, better services, free doughnuts, whatever).
Can someone possibly enlighten me on this matter?
Afrihost is asking R697 for 4Mb/s uncapped/unshaped - http://www.afrihost.com/site/product...undles?src=nav

Semi-Shaped Bandwidth:
http://www.afrihost.com/site/product...capped?src=nav - R397 p/m - Oh, I see...
