I noticed with their new system. I selected the limit to 0 additional gigs. Once I reach my 1GB free gig that comes with the gig4gig package I get actually capped and end up going to the @lantic landing page which tells me I'm capped. The account automatically opens up @ 6pm at night so looks like its actually working well. Not sure if data is getting leaked into blended usage but from my side it looks to be working well and still going full speed ahead.
Thanks for the feedback & useful info. provided.
What follows are comments/queries (more for someone like yourself who has an existing capped/uncapped a/c at @lantic), for me to compare against, if possible.
I can report that in the main summary of Data Used (section) it still shows 0.00MB since using quite a few hundred MB's since after 6pm last night (which is a good sign).
If you click on ''View Account'' and it shows your "Recent Session History" (which updates after about 20 minutes), it indicates what's been used since the system was reset, from the 1st of the month (every time you log on/off unless they're your only ISP and your modem's on the whole time).
What I find a bit disconcerting, is that is doesn't differentiate anywhere in that section between capped or uncapped. I suppose one must trust in the fact that the summary is correct, and that billing will remain at the R59.
@Cavedog, can you (or anyone else) confirm this to be correct ?
I don't have previous Uncapped with them to compare against, as I've just signed up.
What I'd also like to draw more attention to regarding CAPPED, is if you click on ''Billing Details'', then ''View Next Bill'', you might see a provisional charge for :
1GB (25/Jan/2013-1/Feb/2013) charged at R15.
@cavedog (and again, anyone else), can you log on and confirm if this is true on your a/c ?
If you don't have that charge, it would mean that since you've set your limit to ZERO on Capped, and I've up to now had a value > than 1, there's probably an issue with their billing on this new system of theirs.
I received a similar charge last month on my invoice, and am waiting for them to do a recon. back to SAIX's data used, before I presume they'll credit me.
Would also like to know (even though this thread is to do with UNcappped), if anyone else with a Gig4Gig a/c has received such a charge - last month an extra (possible) Gig was charged for the period
(22/Dec/2012 - 1/Jan/2013).
Have now changed my additional cap to ZERO, but problem is I may want to use extra over and above the 1GB free, so will have to reconsider - granted, they need to sort out the billing 100% if there is one, owing to the split charges.
Would appreciate any relevant feedback.
