Is this what un-capped feels like?

Rumor has it was a test to see how people managed uncapped bandwidth. My guess is we FAILED! :D

If that was the case, then of course we would fail. The novelty of being uncapped, and then finding anything and everything to download. After a while (some!) people would settle back into their old habits.

For me the novelty had already worn off to be honest.
 
Yawn, I ran out of things to download. I amassed a nice 27 gigs of 'useful' & 'entertaining' stuff from this glitch.

It was fun while it lasted. I would have prefered the glitch to have happened when all the American TV shows I watch came back for a new season.. but ce le vie.
 
Wait did I just miss the opportunity to download something I really wanted (legal) at 5 gigs Q_Q?
 
Article to follow later tonight: Just to confirm that a glitch caused the 'uncapped' ADSL, and that subscribers will not be billed for blended bandwidth usage during this period (while this should be obvious, I still think it is cool that Telkom just writes it off). Local only usage after being capped (going over your 10GB, 20 GB etc) will however be charged as per normal.

BTW: Who notched up the most GB? I saw a 70 GB in earlier posts...anybody did more?
 
Just to confirm something...if i have a 1GB cap and i went over by 100Megs over the weekend, so does that mean if i top up with 1GB, will i only get 900Megs? or do i qualify for the whole 1GB? I've seen alot of posts that we wont be billed for the excess usage but im just making sure.
 
I ended up using about 4 gigs on a 1 gig account (which usually gets capped on 1.5 gigs) :)

But then my ADSL didn't want to sync for about 2 hours so maybe that was Telkom getting back at me :D
 
so if i understand right, if i am over my allotted 3g cap i will not be billed, i also have 30g local?
