    This is a very attractive (bait) package presented by the SLT to catch unlimited users.

    Why?
    Simply the contract of the unlimited users says it is "unlimited". According to rules and regulations they cannot pass a new law and apply it to an agreement that has been amended in the past. So FUP is "no" for unlimited users.

    What is Web Family?

    Offering a connection speed “Up to” 8Mbps and a Uplink 1Mbps limiting your usage with a FUP of 25GB

    Who should go for this?
    People who can control downloading, since it can finish within a day or you can use it thought out the month. It is your choice. Best for working people or people those who are away from home (youth). Usually elderly family members are not counted as heavy users.


    Pros
    Getting at least 100Kbps than before
    Download, surfing and streaming are faster than before
    Low cost 1490/=

    Cons
    Connection is not as promised with the distance to the exchange the speed changes.
    The word “up to” gives no guarantees about the actual speed you’re getting.
    Connection problems, I wouldn’t say it’s very stable when he distance is getting higher.

    Conclusion
    If you are very near to the SLT exchange (preferably 2Km) and you have a good control about how you download or you are away from home, Go For it.

    I'm using SLT Unlimited, I have no probs with it for now, my average download capacity is 30 or 40 GB for a month, so i'm not gonna change to web family since it has FUP

    webfamily speed also sucks. its speed never goes upper than 0.4mbs for me except for torrent downloads. when complained they put down speed to a 0.02mbs and it didnt even load a webpage. then they took a 26 days to look into my case and in 5 minutes they fixed it back to 0.4mbps. that's all. if u complain they put ur speed down as low as they possible and take a long time to fix back into same normal low speed again. so customers don't complain again.
