Weird question I know, but hellkom the mofos decided to cap me on the 24th, (great xmas gift, ty you scumbags) even though usage barely passed the 3GB so I decided to buy a 1GB top-up (not from hellkom).
So on the second day I downloaded a farily large demo from Xbox, thinking what the heck, it was only like R70 for the 1gb shaped, I will just buy more, so I login to the account and it says 1GB account, used 18%..so I go check bandwith usage and I had used almost 1.2GBs of up and down, and then today when I check it says service, 1GB shaped, available 3.03GBs used 39.37% and if I view daily usage since the 24th it shows upload 465mb total, download 1.51gb, used 1.98gbs, so back to my original question, so how large is a 1gb shaped account if I still have 3GBS available, I is so confused!!!!!!!:confused:
 
1Gb = 1024Mb

So if you've used 512Mb up and 512Mb down, it'll total 1Gb, and you'll be capped (theoretically).

Sometimes (if you're lucky) you'll still be able to browse/download after the account's been used up.

yes, that is logical, so why in this companies (name reserved so they dont block me :D) control panel, does it specify a 1GB account and then say 3Gb available when 2GBs have been used? weird huh! oh well, account is only until the end of today then back to hellkom :(
