Cant telkom count?

An email I got from them:

Dear TelkomInternet subscriber,

Herewith a notification to inform you that your current usage reflects the following:

They stopped counting for me totally, I've been downloading non-stop and since Monday my emails, reporting usage state 22.60GB - it's like they don't know to add pass this number - veeery strange...

 

[Spindrift]

maybe they only count the download?

That is what I thoguht, but then they should update the email.

Maybe they stopped counting because of their endless generosity.

Dear TelkomInternet subscriber,

Herewith a report to indicate that your total usage reflects the following:

Username: TelkomDSL******@dsl512telkomsa.net
Uploaded: 14.87GB
Downloaded: 11.42GB
Combined Total: 26.30GB

Based on the above, you have exceeded your monthly 3.00GB volume cap on the combined total and will therefore be redirected to a throttled international service. Your usage will be reset on the 1st of next month. Should you wish to purchase an additional TelkomInternet account to overcome this, please contact 0800-500-200 for more information.

My stats from the Telkom usage tracker have been consistently lower this month than those from the SAIX tracker, all through the month. Telkom says 616MB total, SAIX says 1.3GB. Telkom's seems to skip days. So this means I have how much bandwidth left exactly on my 2GB package?

On another note, the SAIX tracker (when I compare my *own* internal usage tracking to what it says) seems to be inflating my usage by some percentage that cannot be nearly adequately explained by e.g. TCP/IP overheads (i.e anything from 25% to 50%).

LOVELY We have caught Telkom right out in the open lying to the public. Time to approach ICASA yet AGAIN. Those emails prove that TelkomInternet is NOT Hard-capping. Next is for a few ISPs to come to the party and expose this company for the frauds they are.
