how much local bandwidth does one get ?

[The Philosopher]

we have a dobroadband 3gb account. it doesnt say anything about local?
also how do you when u use local vs international bandwidth?

I think its 30GB local, if i'm not mistaken. Your local cap only kicks in once your 3GB is finished, regardless if your viewing/downloading local content or not.

 

[The Philosopher]

so if use local content it contributes to the 3gb? that is unfair.

Yip. And yes, it is indeed. Join the club. We've got the "We Hate Telkom" jackets.

"do level 2 ... accompanied by 3 072 Megabytes (3GB) worth of data. Included is 20,480 Megabytes (20GB) of local only usage."
"The local data applies after the initial 3GB data has reached its limit."

It used to be 10GB local for every 1 GB international, but now it's more confusing than that. They upgraded the old 2GB accounts to 3GB international and the old 3GB accounts to 5GB international. However, they did not upgrade the amount of local bandwidth attached to these accounts.

So, afaik, this is how it works at the moment...

1GB blended ~ 10GB local
3GB blended ~ 20GB local
5GB blended ~ 30GB local
