Has Telkom finally understood what was meant by 'local usage shall not count towards the cap'? Or is this a mistake?

No I doubt it!!! What happened is that you were connected yesterday right? You were connected non stop to today without restarting you router. It means you still have a 165.xxx.xxx.xxx ip and that mean it is still on your local. Once you restart your router you will be back on international! :-)
 
Same here, still have the 165 range address. It's fine though, I'm downloading lekker on local and when I need to browse internationally, I just connect via a PPPoE connection.

Just watch out when you hit your Local cap they gonna start charging...
Although I hate 64k speeds you got to love uncapped! :D

I'm on 384K..and with the dodge speeds from news.saix.net recently, there is no way I'll reach 20GB...
 
why don't you use routesentry?

i have 2 accounts one 5 gig and a 1 gig + 10 local is account, after setting up routesentry i have 5 gigs for international and 11 gigs for local. So when i browse inter. it uses my inter. account and while playing BF2 I use my local account :)

I share both accounts between 4 pc's and have never had a problem.

I actually use this solution. More transparent than Route Sentry and does not require any installations on the different PCs.

Doesn't make sense. That means that if I'm on local and I keep my router on it will stay on local and I will be able to download local with my 30GB cap even when a new month start?
