Based on the fact that I can easily use 1000 MB's a day just browsing, talking on Skype and watching a few videos on You Tube.
Edited I meant 1000 mb

If I could get about 15gigs out of a 3gig account, I would be equally happy. Doesnt work that way though.

If you factor in R/Gb, I think it should be around R10/Gb.

Why? So you can download torrents/newsgroup stuff?

Probably not newsgroups - have you seen the SAIX one? Bloody useless.

Ok, this is my opinion on the matter:
I am not a genius in this field, but Telkom should charge us a fair rate, while still ensuring that they get a profit, BUT not the profit that they are currently enjoying. For R249 I would suggest 10 - 15 GB, because if what they say is true (that 'abusers' are in the minority) then they should have no problem increasing it to that because most would then, allegedly, not use that amount.
BUT, what I think will happen, most likely, is one of two things:
1) They will increase the cap, and not tell anyone in order to keep their image intact and not admit their mistakes.
2) They will increase the cap and will launch a HUGE advertising campaign and thereby steal other clients forcing them (via contracts) into their evil electronic empire. (most likely)
So, they should increase it to what they can afford, but ALSO to South Africans can afford.
