Home/SME ADSL vs. Business Premium

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 06:39:09 +0000

We are now launching a business premium ADSL service. The main objective of our Home/SME ADSL packages is offering bandwidth at the lowest possible rate and the Business Premium packages focus more on the quality of the bandwidth. Business Premium bandwidth will be given priority in the unlikely event of a cable break of problem at an upstream provider. Business Premium speeds will overall be faster because of its infrastructure that will constantly be upgraded to accommodate a low ratio of users for the bandwidth it offers.

Here is a basic breakdown of how the tunnelling will differ between the two packages.

	Home/SME	Business Premium

Browsing	Medium	Top
Email	Medium	High
VoIP	High	Top
Gaming	Medium	High
Streaming	Medium	High
VPN	Medium	Top
FTP	Best Effort	High

Uncapped ADSL for business – what are the are the differences?

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 06:02:15 +0000

The vast majority of advertising regarding uncapped ADSL is focused on the low cost consumer (home user) model and not on the business offering. These offerings are marketed in a typical sales manner with the lowest possible cost advertised and only once you express interest are the rest of the conditions explained. These accounts cannot effectively be used for SME or SMB customers due to restrictions such as concurrent connections (only one on uncapped versus four on capped) and static IP addresses. If you go to the various websites you can browse their business offerings and see the vast price differences. WIT sells uncapped shaped ADSL account which runs at 4.096kps for R650 excl. VAT per month.

What is the difference between capped and uncapped ADSL?

admin — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:06:27 +0000

There is a lot of hype regarding uncapped (unlimited bandwidth) ADSL since it went on offer over a year ago. Unfortunately there is very little information on when it is practical for the business environment and when it should be looked at as an option. We delve a little deeper so that you can understand the speed differences between the two:

Capped vs. Uncapped Speed:

The performance of Capped accounts and Uncapped accounts differ in subtle ways no matter the company you choose to use.Generally Uncapped ADSL runs off a higher ‘contention ratio’ than Capped ADSL.This means that generally more users are allowed for a certain chunk of bandwidth in Uncapped than in Capped.This means that the number of users downloading at any one time affects Uncapped more than Capped. At any given moment if a ton of users are busy simultaneously then Uncapped will be slightly slower than Capped.

A very simplistic metaphor for this would be:

Uncapped is like eating at a Pizza place on ‘All You Can Eat’ night. The speed you get your separate single slices of pizza delivered to you is dependent on how busy the restaurant is at that moment. This means it may take slightly longer to eat a whole pizza but you can eat more over time.Capped is like eating at that same Pizza place but ordering the pizza size you want off the menu – you’ll get your full pizza quicker and can eat it faster but you have a set amount to enjoy.In essence Capped is a slightly premium service if speed is an issue to you while Uncapped is the way to go if solid speed is good enough and you don’t want to worry about getting capped at any time of the month.

You will find that the speed of Capped vs. Uncapped most differs during office hours – Thus if speed is of primary importance to you during office hours then Capped may be the best solution for you.

What’s the difference between shaped and unshaped ADSL?

admin — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:02:44 +0000

There is often mention made of “shaping” but no explanation is given on what this actually entails. We feel that it is important enough that our customers should be aware of the difference so they can make more informed ADSL decisions

Shaped ADSL – On a shaped ADSL account, priority is given to emails, web browsing, internet banking and “normal” downloads via a web browser or FTP program. This means that any other online activity not included here will receive low priority when the network is busy. This then entails that this option is the best one for most users who do not want to carry out some specialised online activities.

Unshaped ADSL – Unshaped ADSL treats all protocols the same and offers the optimal internet access for Skype, VOIP, forex trading, international share trading, online gambling and secure work from home options as well as VPNs. Unshaped is particularly important for peer-to-peer (P2P) applications and video streaming. Unshaped is significantly more expensive than shaped offerings.
