AFRIHOST One Time Offer for Free GB users???

I received my 10GB earlier today - now,after using the account a bit,I get this message :

Your ADSL Account is locked.Why lock the account?

The possible reasons for locking an account include that the ADSL Cap has been reached, e.g. due to excessive downloads.
Accounts may also be locked when there is an outstanding payment or administrative matter.
Some ADSL routers will need to be restarted once this is resolved.

Log in to the clientzone for complete details.

If you continue to see this page when your account is active, you may need to restart your ADSL router.

Try restarting your router or reconnecting your connection depending how your network is setup. I am a afrihost user myself and find that when I top up after being locked (for finishing my cap) I have to disconnect my connection and just connect it again for the top up to take effect. Might do the trick idk :p

If that doesn't work try restarting your pc... sometimes works for me...
 
This is kind of a slap in the face to rest of their customers that did not get this email, its almost worth cancelling over this.

Hmmm, kinda I suppose. Would love to have 10gb or R99. But had an account with them for 2 years now, so I'm disqualified (but they did add an extra GB for free = one free hd download of californication in HD :)

Can't you cancel your account and sign up for a free gig and then make use of the special?
 
If you do decide not to take the additional data next month, do you also lose the 1GB that was free?
Unfortunately yes... If I knew that I wouldn't have signed up... now I've lost my "free GB for life" because I, unlike others, decided to give their full offering a shot? ... :/ In an e-mail from Afrihost accounts:
Once you do decide to cancel the account you will loose your free gig as well.
Sucks :(

ag I am more than happy with just getting their 2-for-1 specials, but dammit I missed "abusing" it the beginning of the month :(

usually do a R300 top-up which gets me the 10+10.

the guy I am sharing my account with is bloody lucky since he isn't paying anything and I am actually more on my Mweb uncapped.
