wavespeed vs netway vs thunderworx - which is the fastest one???[/b]

[Loucian]

I went with prime-tel and i am very happy with the speed. I can download with speeds up to 122Kbps.

I'm on PrimeTel right now and their connection is like a crap. I'm paying for 1MBit but they give you full megabit only for HTTP and everything else (torrents, ed2k, ssh, ftp, whatever) is much slower. During the day non-http bandwidth is about 20-30kbit/s, and you can get the whole 1mbit only at night. If most of the time you're using the browser - that's a good deal, but if you're a heavy torrent/ed2k/etc user - I can't recommend you to sign up for PrimeTel.

Regarding the others - I've used to be with NetWay about a year and a half ago and they were quite good until they've started to oversale and their bandwidth went down. Then I've switched to Wavespeed and can't say a single bad word about them - great uptime, stable 1mbit connection, very good support (their support guy fixed my problem once even when he was away in the UK, calling me back from there to check up and doing it remotely). If they're as good now as they used to be - I can recommend to give them a try.

Heavy Bandwidth = WaveSpeed... Forget about NetWay, they filter bandwidth heavily even tho they got shitloads of it.

I used the 1mbit adsl of cytanet, spidernet, netway, otenet and weavespeed. cyatnet is the worst and is only good for basic http. Spidernet used proxies and that creates problems with some programs. Netway was fast but I had a few minor issues at some point. Weavespeed was good but it is the most expensive. My personal choice is Otenet. It is fast, no significant problems, their support is adequate and it is the cheapest for just 10 pounds per month! Weavespeed is 15 per month. Thats 35% more expensive than Otenet.

If you want a good speed - you should pay for it, I think it's fair and 5CYP/montly is really not big bucks. I'd like to pay some extra money for a stable 1mbit here at PrimeTel but those bastards have no way of doing it so I'm just out of luck.

[Sotos]

If it was better I wouldn't mind the 5 extra pounds. But from my experience there is no difference in permanence between weavespeed and Otenet and Otenet is cheaper ...

I tried CYTANET, SPIDERNET and NETWAY using i-choice.

By far the best ISP for peer2peer downloads is NETWAY.
I had NetWay for 2 years and i was downloading 24hour a days. Most times i got speeds of 100kb/sec p2p. I told this to some of my friends and now their connection Flies too.

I heard good things about OTENET also but i did not tested it.

Now i have Primetel in order to be able to review Primetel on My own and talk to all about it, so you all know.

It's browsing and downloads through http and ftp is fast. most service get their advertised speed in speed tests.

The important is this :
PEER to PEER have limitations certain hours a day (torrents etc). For example in the afternoon until 12 at night they have a limit of 30kb/sec.
They do not have limitations approximately from 2am to 12 am in morning.

I told them about this and when they understand that i found out the truth about it they never replied my emails again. Thats why i want to share it with you.

Here is a link what happened to a uk company with same limitations:

Now i cannot go back to netway, because i have to change to Cyta pay installations etc..... i have to wait a bit because i heard something about Primetel allow other ISPs to join its network.
