Got the same problem at 00:00, I use PPPOE connections, so the reboot of modem didn't work for me. My account only became active hours later.
My account also reflected over usage of 6%, of my 1GB account. When I queried Afrihost they said their system checks bandwidth "at different intervals" so there is always a chance of over usage.
I only have a 384kb/s line, if I had a 4MB line I can only imagine what the over usage could have reached between the bandwidth check "intervals".
Even if these intervals are 10 minutes apart there's a chance that a 4MB line user could over use (400kb/s*60sec*10mins ) 240000 Kb or 234 Mb of their bandwidth. That's almost 25% of your month cap if you have a 1GB account.
That's a majorly unfair practice. Even Telscum caps their accounts effectively every month. Telscum will promptly cut a user off when they've reached their cap or if they're late to cap a user they bare the loss of data and don't try to retrieve it from the following months usage.
Also telsum new months bandwidth is available at 00:00 on the 1st of every month, no problems. This is the second time Afrihost new months bandwidth is only available hours into the new month.
