4Mbps!!

[mcryan]

Just got my line speed upgraded. What a dream this is. I can actually stream 720p HD videos without having to pause and try watch it half an hour later!

Isn't helkom going to free upgrade everyone's connection in March/April? Dunno, just heard something like that. I'm hoping they upgrade my 512k line to 4mb..

Haven't heard anything like that, but I hope thats true

384/512K connections are upped to 1MB. 4MB are up to 8mb, and fast exchange/Dslams on 8mb that can handle it are even upgraded further to 12MB

Are you sure? I know they are running some tests and upgrading a few users to 8/12mb for the duration of the rial/testing. But I was unaware that line upgrades were going to be permanent.

Congrats, what ISP?

Yay, if Mappy speaks the truth, I'll go from 384kbps -> 1Mbps!!!! How will that affect all inclusive packages?

Aren't 384Kbps upped to 512Kbps?

They had an article about it on My Broadband. You'll have to search for it though Twas a few weeks ago.

If I remember correctly its going to be 1, 4 and 8
then 4 ,8 and 12
If the 12 mb tests pan out

Moved from Mweb to WebAfrica. I am very happy with it. my latency is much better to networks all over the world. Very odd, because I went from Unshaped Uncapped to Shaped 33GB - but my connection (even prior to going 4mb) is much better.

So WA are awesome in my opinion!
