Ideal for home users & small businesses. This service is mainly designed for surfing the web and retrieving or sending mail. If you need the stability of knowing that you have got X amount of bandwidth per month then the Standard Shaped accounts are just for you.
All DigiServ™ accounts international bandwidth are supplied via Fiber optic links on the
undersea SAT3 cable and not via Satellite like most other ISP's. This gives you a FASTER
surfing experience without all the latency.
Plus there is no need to add fancy proxy settings or any other 3rd party software. Just
add our DigiServ™ username and password to your router and you are ready to go.
ADSL Standard Shaped accounts are normal month to month billed accounts. The remaining bandwidth
does not carry over to next month. If you are looking for that service then please
look at our Prepaid accounts.

SAIX Shaped ADSL Service
This service, which offers identical service levels to the ADSL accounts offered by Telkom/SAIX, is shaped according to protocol and therefore provides the main priority to HTTP, which is the protocol assigned to most Internet websites. This service is therefore mainly designed for surfing the web and retrieving or sending email.
All international HTTP traffic is transparently cached for uncapped ADSL users. With this service all international un-cached data is shaped. The following un-cached protocols are prioritised on the network: HTTP (in certain cases HTTP is not cached due to website incompatibilities), HTTPS, FTP. Mail (POP3 and IMAP), SSH and TELNET. This means that protocols not mentioned above will receive a lower priority on the network.
