Mweb 2mb uncapped5/2/2023 Which means that uncapped you could be sharing your line with 199 other users.Īt that ratio, uncapped means absolutely nothing because you wont even be able to download any significant amount in any period of time. But I have heard figures of a 200:1 ratio. All they have published is the international norm. No ISPs including MWEB have published (as far as I am aware) their contention ratios. They only way they will do it, and still make a profit, is to increase their contention ratios Surely they are not going to do so at a loss. I had to ask the question, how come MWeb all of a sudden could afford to make uncapped available. Uncapped ADSL makes use of high content ratios that allow ISP’s to give it to the users at cheaper costs, although capped ADSL also makes use of this content ratio the uncapped ratios is significantly higher than that of capped. But keep in mind that this does not happen often. You could end up with an actual 200k line. So if an ISP has a 20:1 ratio, you could end up only using 1/20th of your initial line speed. But the higher the ratio the more likely that scenario becomes. This is ok, because the likely how that you all will be downloading data at the exact same moment is unlikely. This means that you could share your line with 50 other users. The international norm is 20:1 even 50:1. What is contention ratio?īasically contention ratio is the amount of people sharing the same line as you. MWeb and other ISP’s have alluded to the fact that their uncapped packages are real, no limits, no day/night splitting. Why is this? Well it’s because of a thing called “ Content Ratio”. What I have heard is that some are complaining that their uncapped connection is now somewhat slower than what it originally was. So far I have not heard any raving reviews and news about this uncapped ADSL. In South Africa many people went gaga over this and rushed off to purchase their new ADSL packages. Soon to be followed by the likes of Afrihost and Axsess. Starting off with MWeb who shocked the market making an announcement of uncapped ADSL. Recently in South Africa we have been hit by some price wars by various ISP’s. Uncapped ADSL only a decade late, but there are still are some hidden agendas.
