Stats analysis
You mean if you download X amount of local cap, it doesn't show up in your stats, but you still get capped?
My internet usage is mainly browsing local news and motor racing news, email for business and a small amount of research using Google.
My son's usage is mainly Mxit, small amount of research for school work and a small quantity of music download.
My daughter's usage is mainly email and University of Johannesburg student access.
Our combined downloading is mainly local.
My question was based on my perception of what I had read in a thread elsewhere - that local access should not count towards a capping total. Is this perception incorrect?
Are you only using the one session and no concurrent ones on other machines?
There are usually 3 PCs with constant Internet access for automatic updating of windows and antivirus software.
My son's PC and mine are often concurrently accessing the Internet.
Remember, my Netgear has the Internet session and Internet access. If my ADSL is reliable with no LCP downs, we have up to 4 PCs accessing the Internet concurrently in any 24 hour period with the normal maximum time usage of 86400 seconds and the stats show only one session.
If, however, LCP goes down and comes up again, the session count increments by 1 and usage is recorded for each session.
March 6th was the worst day for ADSL performance with 87 sessions. the were 86 LCP downs in that 24 hour period and the time recorded was 92203 seconds
That is because there are multiple sessions on that one account.
As explained above, only one piece of equipment logs onto the Internet - the Netgear DG834G v3, and as long as there are no LCP downs, only 1 session is recorded with 86400 seconds for each 24 hour period, irrespective of how many PCs are accessing the Internet.
Can we assume you are with TelkomInternet?
Yes. With very mixed results. A good ADSL technician cured my LCP downs giving me excellent performance on 4096/384 connections by fixing problems on my ADSL circuit.
Yesterday at 14:43, unfortunately, the cumulative effect of a mentally and technically challenged technician fixing a telephone fault unrelated to me, and the commissioning of a neighbours electric security fence, seem to have introduced excessive noise into my circuit with the usual consequences of poor connection speeds, weak signal, terrible SNR, multiple sessions and high blood pressure.
