if you get your full speed 24/7 yes.
FFS and I just did a 2-for-1 top-up for R290
man I hate it when you get specials right after you just spent on something else

OUCH - that hurts.
And I was going to top up using FNB connect at R25/G.

Things have perked up a bit now.
Getting up to 300 KB/s now. I am on Astraweb.
Does NewsDemon offer block accounts?
Thought it too good a special to not let anyone know.

I topped up on Tuesday afternoon and had done 42 gigs by this morning. I'm running on 6 meg though and was downloading most of the time. It's too bad Afrihost didn't offer it earlier, as I'd already topped up an extra 14 or so gigs this month. That makes it 17+14+50 :O
Imagine if we were still paying R60-R70 per gig...

Purchased 180gig from astraweb non expiring with Max 20 connections and 1200 days retention. Cost me about R170, so check them out too.
Sent from my Galaxy-Tab-P1 using Mybroadband App
I purchased 2 gig prepaid which only lasted me till the weekend, Saturday in error I topped up with the 50gig promo for R149 actually wanted the 20gig cause I had about 16gigs of downloads left knowing the bandwidth will expire end of the month. Problem is I already received Afrihost's notification indicating my bandwidth is depleted, but one of my downloads is still going at full speed including browsing. Or is my balance of my 50gig top up still active?
Will I be billed for this extra bandwidth I'm consuming or should I just stop it and contact them in the morning? Btw i don't have a recurring account just prepaid.

I would give them a call to find out.
it sounds like you may be in for something, but better to find out from them 1st hand.

Sorted saw the extra megs added to my invoice which will be deducted from my next purchase.
