24h IP change

[LethalChicken]

Hi All,

This 24h connection limit is total BS, it's supposed to be an IP change and whatever other BS telkom gives us, the thing is that I have run my box over 2 24h periods and I got disconnected, I also was installing a firewall and reconnected about 50-60 times in one day .. the thing is that last week tuesday I have had the same IP on both my PPP connection and the 1st hop ... so they don't even change the IP ...

I'm guessing however if I left the box off for a day or two I would get a new IP ...

so my point is that the reconn is PURELY for the cap enforcement ... or not ?

got this from telkom website...

"the connection...always available expect for session timeout after 25 hours." This was introduced to determine daily usage in order to measure and manage the volumes uploaded and downloaded"

so my guess is that it really is just to enforce the cap.

My ISP can calculate usage without disconnecting me, ever.

The disconnect and IP change is simply there to discourage you from running servers.

they cannot cap you unless you reconnect it is a pain in the arse ... i run a script at 1am to discon and maximise my use during the day so i dont get disconned when im using it and can work arround this limitation
