What are the Tradepage ADSL Costs?
Many ISP's offer an ADSL service but they are capped at prescribed Traffic Volumes, depending on what service was ordered. However, Tradepage is able to offer uncapped Business ADSL service, enabling the client to download and/or upload as much as the client requires. Over and above this, the client is issued with a static (fixed) IP address to overcome the limitations associated with dynamically (Randomly) issued IP addresses. This enhancement enables the client to maintain a fixed IP address for their e-mail server, Web server and any other servers requiring a fixed IP address.

*Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
- Shaped ADSL - The shaped ADSL service distinguishes between the various protocols used over the Internet. The main priority is HTTP. At present, all international HTTP traffic is transparently cached for ADSL users. 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, SMTP and IMAP), SSH and TELNET. Any protocol not mentioned above will receive a lower priority on the network.
- Unshaped ADSL - This service will offer you unshaped international bandwidth and a higher data transfer rate. The unshaped service will not shape the un-cached protocols. All protocols will therefore share the available bandwidth equally. Similarly, local bandwidth will remain as is with no shaping implemented. Keeping this in mind, this service is typically designed for a niche market including, for example, your typical Forex Trader, specific gaming applications, secure work from home options and VPN's. All these applications can use unfamiliar protocols, which are not necessarily bandwidth intensive but require an unshaped service to work optimally.
- Capping - Your ADSL usage is determined by all traffic you generated by a given username and includes the upload (sending), download (receiving) as well as network and protocol overheads. The same process applies to both the shaped and unshaped service. Capping is determined over a calendar month. As such, monthly usage is accumulated during the period and reset according to your service subscription. At the beginning of each period the usage tracker is reset and any restrictions that might have been imposed would be lifted.
- IP Address - ADSL users are assigned a single dynamic IP address, each time they log in. This means that the IP address of an ADSL user may change, each time the user logs in. This prevents the hosting of servers (for instance a mail server) at the customer's premises. ADSL users need to make use of an ISP-hosted mail server, in order to receive email.
