ADSL - Uncapped

 

The new Uncapped Express+ ADSL accounts international bandwidth is supplied via Fibre optic links on the undersea SAT3 cable and not via Satellite. This gives you a FASTER surfing experience without all the latency.

The Uncapped Express service is best suited to users that require "unrestricted" but affordable ADSL access. People who don't want to be restrained by monthly downloading caps.

To use this account you must have an ADSL line and an ADSL router/modem.

A 10 day rolling threshold applies to this account - This means when you use more than the threshold amount during a 10 day period, your line speed will be lowered but not disconnected.

This restriction only applies on weekdays from 8am to 8pm.

You will still have the FULL line speed after 8pm on weekdays and the weekend. This means that if you have a 4Mb/s line, you will get 4Mb/s speed, even if you only have a 384Kbps account!

After hour usage still counts to your daytime 10 Day Rolling Threshold. So if you used more than your 10 Day Rolling Threshold then your speed will be throttled during the day time until your usage falls within the 10 Day Rolling Threshold. Refer to the table below for threshold and speed limits. This threshold will not reset on the 1st of the month.
