Does any ISP offer a Split Cap?

[IkilledSpongebob]

Hi , a newbie here

I'm looking into getting high-speed internet, it seems to me that the blended cap offerings penalise you if you go to local websites, as in charging international rates for local surfing, until the cap is reached, then giving you local only or no further access.

Are there ISP's who give you, say a concurrent one-gig int /10-gig local split on the same account?

I've looked at some threads that point to stuff like Route Sentry and using two ISP accounts, which is a little beyond me .. but it makes me wonder why ISP's don't just implement this on the network. If the boffins on this forum can do it with their home routers it should present no big challenge for an ISP to do.

Thanks

Route sentry is not so bad...the only thing you really gotta do is change your router to bridge mode..or half bridge. Then if on XP u install RASPPPOE and follow the easy instructions. If on windows 7 its even easier

If you need help or something let the ppl here know, they always willing to help.

What router have you got?

You will however have to get another account - one that does only have local cap. It works our quite cheap doing it that way in the long run

I haven't got an adsl router yet, looking at packages.

What would be a good package to get? I'm thinking of Telkom self-install with their Netgear 834, but I don't know if it could handle two accounts in bridged mode.

I'm still on dial-up, using the call-more Telkom R7 call plan (now over R10 per call ) . It's really bad for my sanity, it's turned me into a night-time zombie, to use it effectively. Sometimes I run up a 60-hr call over weekends if I need to stay online.

I'm getting into Linux too, so I expect to download updates and stuff from local mirrors, hence the need for local billing. Right now I connect the linux box to the 'net via the windows box with auto eth0 on linux and home-networking on Windows.

Openweb are looking at doing the splitting.... so keep an eye out for that.
