my Telkom Mega 100 router broke on the 1st of the month when I resetted it after 12 o clock to make use of my international cap that kicked in, the router only showed lights and when i took it back telkom replaced it with a mega 105 ! the strange part is that I have been using my new router for almost the whole month now and i still have access to international cap ! im waaaaaaaaay over my 2gig int limit, probly at 19 or 20 gigs already and international cap is still working ! do u guys think i'll get billed for them not capping me internationally ! (and yes I am using my own account on the new router) :confused::confused::confused:

Yes, Telkom has been known to bill for what you use over your cap. Be careful!
 
Not for international!! They can't! Thats why there are caps in place, even if it is a soft cap. As far as I know you can only be billed on going over your local cap.

Restart your router, then you'll be blended locally :)
 
Lol, you shouldn't have reset your router. Telkom don't bill for excessive "blended" usage - it's their fault if their cap doesn't work. They only bill for excessive local-only usage, which technically doesn't have a cap.
