What’s the difference between shaped and unshaped ADSL?

March 28th, 2011

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.
