OpenWeb has reduced prices on its Silver Uncapped ADSL packages. The Company\u2019s CEO Keoma Wright said Silver is faster and has a lower contention ratio than Standard Uncapped. \u201cSilver Uncapped is the perfect solution for gamers. With a 15 percent lower contention ratio than Standard Uncapped, Silver Uncapped was made for the after-hours downloader and gamer.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are 100 of these packages available to new customers signing up.<\/p>\n
OpenWeb explained its fair usage policy for Silver and Gold Uncapped packages: during quieter times and after hours, OpenWeb tries to offer an optimal experience to gamers. Silver Uncapped is a shaped service, and generally, during office hours, heavy download protocols will take the lowest priority on the network.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have placed a very specific focus on gaming on our Silver and Gold Uncapped services. As gaming mostly takes place after hours, we have prioritised gaming across our premium network, offering our clients the most superior gaming experience. We believe that when the network is quiet, our clients should have full access to it,\u201d explained Wright.<\/p>\n
He said there is therefore no actual fair usage policy, other than the fact that download protocols will be shaped during busy periods. \u201cHowever, when the network is quiet, clients will be offered an unshaped experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daytime speeds are dynamically managed to ensure that all users on the network get the best possible speeds. Silver Uncapped packages range from R195 per month for 384kbps, R299 for 1Mbps, R499 for 4Mbps to R1,649 per month for 10Mbps.<\/p>\n
