Why is is not possible for Telkom to increase the cap speed to normal dail-up speeds, or maybe even just half of that. I'm not a cusumer that abuse the ADSL facility, why can't they make it available for users that gets capped say for instance one week before the end of the month?

I see your point angler.
Im capped at the moment and I suppose if the capped speed matched my old ISDN it might be OK. I cant update my Anti-Virus or browse websites overseas. The capped speed is a serious infringement on everyones right to decent internet connectivity.
But the point I want to make is, we should not back down for Telkom. The whole ADSL package is unacceptable. Telkom want you to buy another 3 gigs, thats the problem. Does anyone know what line this capped line uses, as if I was telkom, I would hate to tell a customer that he must accept this speed or even to know that my company owns such a slow line. I would be too embarrassed.
Noone can use it. Its not a service, its an excuse for us do buy more "internet time".

I wonder if this capped connection isnt slowed down deliberately.

The time for being nice to Telkom is over. Their ADSL package is unacceptable. Its as simple as that.
