Lekker! I reallllly hope they have the system sorted now.

Let me just ask you if you don't mind:
When you say your usage is calculating correctly:
1) Are you downloading between 6pm-8pm, and usage is only going to "bolt on usage"?
2) Have you tried to connect earlier (eg 5:30pm) and only START your downloads after 6pm, and see where the usage is going to?

For me that is exactly what is happening. Yesterday I connected @ 16:30 played league of legends ect ect after 6pm started my downloads and it seems that my usage after 6pm is indeed reporting as bolt on. I did not start download exactly 6pm I did start it about 6:20pm or so.

Package Usage 0.01258 Gb
Bolt On Usage 63.08964 Gb
Total Usage 63.10222 Gb

Epic value 4 money this account. Full speed after hours. Like no shaping at all. I'm able to stream 720p and 1080p streams on twitch tv and youtube. Epic.

Also listening to deepvibes on shoutcast the whole time which is a 320k stream and no buffering AT all.

The R15 a gb is also a very good price. Not that I use bandwidth during the day cause I'm not at home but still is.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like your account is working 100%. That's awesome!!!
I'm gonna try test again during the weekday and see what happens. If the problem is totally solved, I'd be happier than a pig in mud :)

I totally agree with you re the speeds - they are great, especially for an uncapped account.
 
I only start downloading after 6pm and stop before 6am. I am still a little bit wary at this moment. It appears as if the whole problem was only a temporary bug. It is a new system, so some problems should be expected. Still, it appears to be great value for money. Regarding the shaping: the speed is great. I have a 1024kbps line and it runs full throttle. The only question is will this remain if more and more people join... ?

Don't know if it will last hey. I'm the owner of a 4mb line and its giving full speed the whole weekend. Imagine what damage the 10mb users do....
 
@lantic R59 uncapped 'bolt-on' feedback - update from the source

Nice. Keep us updated please!

I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Chris Van Wie, I’m a Solutions Architect for Vox Telecom, involved with the @lantic Uncapped Bolt-on product.

We would like to thank the community for trying out the new Uncapped product offered by @lantic (www.lantic.net) and also for pointing out the issues of the product as they experienced it; the feedback that we received from the community clearly identified where we needed some fine tuning.

There were in fact two problems, the first was a display issue which some of you already found and noticed that we updated, the second issue was in isolating the usage within the session data that SAIX provides us on an hourly basis. The only way that we could solve this immediately was to engineer an automatic disconnect for the customers of the Bolt-on product at 6am and 6pm Monday through Friday. This allows us to be as accurate in the billing as possible to ensure that your uncapped bandwidth is properly calculated, a win-win for us both!

Now to give some insight and or clear up any questions that might be lingering: Atlantic is part of the Vox family, this service runs on the Vox backbone, this product has no line speed restrictions (great for us 10mb line-speeders!), shaping is only applied during times of congestion (we aren’t close to congestion), reporting unfortunately is delayed up to an hour by SAIX.

On behalf of the team at Vox and @lantic, I’d like to thank the community for all of the feedback that we’ve received. Pass on the great news and get your friends, families, and co-workers on this amazing Uncapped product!

Kind regards,
Chris

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. At present I think it is one of the best offers available by any ISP
 
Top product and I no longer need uncapped during the day so the R15 per GB is quite decent too.
 
Well I used 100GB in 7days and it still going full speed. I'm mean that is quite amazing...... Loving this account.

At this moment I am not trying to see how much I can download :D I am however glad that this allows me to use the internet after hours and weekends without wondering how my usage/downloads will impact my cap. It is terrible to want to download a big file in the beginning of the month, and not knowing if it will cause your cap to deplete before the end of the month.
 
hmmm my account does not seems to connect from 10 pm last night so could not download though the night :(

not sure what is wrong :(

mweb account works fine
 
hmm can lantic rep help me please?
