AS the month of march comes to a close, and everyone expected and got the mid month topup, lets see how much everyone has used. Here's mine (for now)

5GB Package + VAS
Total usage: 11323.09 MB
After hours: 45257.77 MB

About R12/GB (rounded up). Not bad for wireless mobile internet.
 
Is this iBurst? what package is this? What average speed do you get?

5GB package
VAS 128 for uncapped always full speed between 00:00 and 08:00

Signal strength 92%
Error rate < 5%

Average speed during the day: about 0.3Mbps*
Average speed during uncapped afterhours: about 0.7Mbps, slows down back to about 0.4 after 6am though.*

If I can get my error rates down I think the daytime can go up to 0.5Mbps and the after hours uncapped at 0.9Mbps

*Based on Steam downloads
 
But did you download 45GB from steam...? ;)

Well, I have 2 modems, one for my steam stuff and the other is used by the rest of the family for their own needs, I can say that this month has been about 25GB on steam for me (metro 2033, homefront, darksiders, mafia 2). As for the other 20GB, I have no idea what they are downloading.
 
Wowza I can only get like 30GB of movie-... I mean downloads a month ;)
 
somehow i got a little bit over kill this month. Almost doubled my normal average.
 
2gig package + 128kVAS
Total: 98080.03 MB
After hours: 74938.87 MB

Roughly R5/GB if I'm not mistake.

Darn it! I've just broken passed 60GB this morning and you're still kicking my butt by over 100GB... I must try harder next month!
