Advice Needed

[Timberlander]

Hi Everyone
Thanks again for a great forum - I have often resolved difficulties by loggin on here, in stead of trying to get by at Telkoms' "Desk".

I was capped on the 29th of April and was unable to do anything for two days. It was my own mistake, I miscalculated by usage by a few megs (2 megs, to be specific).I rarely get capped, because I go about using the available bandwith sparingly. But sometimes I do need more than 3 gig.

What I want to know is: What is the best way going about getting more bandwith when you suddenly need it? Telkom is my ISP (was the only ISP I was aware of when I got ADSL 18 months ago) and I really cant complain too much about Telkom's ISP service. I dont want to get a second account at Telkom, I dont want to switch ISP's, I dont want to use a proxy, I just want to have the ability to buy more bandwith when I need it on my current setup. What is the best way for me to go about obtaining more bandwidth when I need it?

Thanks for any advice in advance. Best regards.

Buying additional bandwidth from telkom is possible, but almost an impossibility to do it for one month as and when required due to telkom's ineffectiveness to administer such requests.

Rather buy a 2nd account from a different ISP for one month only

Thanks Doekvoet, I will consider it.
