Has Anyone Reached Their Cap Yet?

[LoneGunman]

After the disconnections, and the current story being put out that - if customers have bought 'extra' bandwidth, in future they won't be disconnected but throttled to 64k (as IBurst originally advertised and promised would be done)

My question is - has anyone on Forum tested this yet, by using up their newly purchased 'extra' bandwidth, and supposedly going onto the promised 64 k throttled service?

As IBurst are all verbal assurances and promises at this point, while behaving like guilty conmen and/or knowing criminals, unwilling to put anything down in writing (which could be used against them in a legal action), one has to figure that the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

So the only way we'll know for sure that IBurst are abiding by their contractual arrangement with customers, is if someone has gone past their 'cap' and/or extra bandwidth - and has not been disconnnected and merely 'throttled'..

If I've missed someones post about this, I'm sorry. But at this point, it seems the next logical step, to confirm if IBurst are truly doing now what they originally promised they would do.

Went over my cap last night & got throttled. Then this morning, not throttled, then throttled & now throttled again. I'm confused.

LG I think I'll be too scared to use up my bandwidth when my account gets reactivated today.

Don't let those fvckers intimidate you, boy. Go for it.

(Besides I'm curious to know what happens. )

As I've said repeatedly in posts, under the terms of IBursts contract with customers, to my reading of it, they acted illegally - and any further disconnections will also be illegal and material breach of their contract and advertised service.

I've sent a message to some of the Bosses on site here, asking about putting money together for an initial consult with a suitably qualified law firm, to determine if IBurst are in fact, in legal breach - and if so - the costs of the various available subsequent steps to institute legal action against IBurst, and/or punish them substantially, to force them to comply with their legal agreements with customers.

This confusion and nervousness by customers, myself included, is only benefitting IBurst, (exactly as they want) and I'm willing to put money towards a legal consultation. Awaiting word from Mod(s) to see if we can make it a unified Forum action, baby step by baby step.

This is so wrong (disconnections). LG I'm with you on that one as this should be persued further.

i had my account suspended, and then reactivated later the evening, without me buying anymore bandwidth. I am now throttled to 64k and would have loved to see if the next month will go slowly.

That reminds me to call my friend at Telkom so he can hurry up with the ADSL.
