Overview of UNCAPPED ADSL

iTT CONNECT, with it's upstream provider, Internet Solutions, brings the home or business user an uncapped ADSL service at a very affordable price.

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is an access medium that provides the user with a broadband connection to the Internet. The first service offered over ADSL is an always-available connection to the Internet. Analogue or ISDN dial-up users, who currently have a high telephone bill, may benefit from the "always-on" nature of ADSL.

The service is offered to resellers providing high-speed Internet access to their respective clients. There are many variations based on the ingenuity of the particular reseller. Data is mostly bought in amounts of GB and controlled accordingly.

Benefits

• ADSL is an "always-on" technology
• Users may benefit from a reduction in associated call costs
• ADSL provides high-speed access to the Internet
• ADSL can be enabled on the existing telephone line at the user’s premises

Features

• Fixed monthly fee
• Uncapped ADSL

The ADSL Uncapped service has been developed mainly for the conservative business user or home user who requires the assurance of an uninterrupted / uncapped and fixed cost ADSL service.  This is a shaped service that limits the speed of certain types of protocols that causes excessive traffic on the network at ceratin times of the day.

This mechanism has been put in place to discourage abuse of the service and thereby giving the “conservative business user” or home user a more superior service.

Please note that only one concurrent connection will be allowed at any time, IS will disconnect any additional users attempting to connect.

Capped or uncapped; Amount of Data

If you are currently on a Capped ADSL package with a maximum amount of data you have access to each month, you need to look at how many GBs you use on average every month (or plan to use) and the speed of your Telkom line. You can then decide whether the Uncapped solution makes sense for you.

• For a 384 kbps line if you move less than about 5 GBs a month it makes sense to stay on Capped.
• For a 512 kbps line if you move less than about 7 GBs a month it makes sense to stay on Capped.
• For a 4096 kbps line if you move less than about 10 GBs a month it makes sense to stay on Capped.

Capped vs Uncapped; Speed

The performance of Capped accounts and Uncapped accounts differ in subtle ways no matter the company you choose to use. As a general rule of thumb Capped ADSL will be faster than Uncapped ADSL.

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.
