Dear M-Web Member

We believe you would like to know that you are approaching the monthly 3 Gigabyte limit or "cap" that Telkom imposes on South African ADSL users.

You have either sent or received 2.75 Gb of data so far this month. As soon as you reach the 3 Gb limit, your international access speed will be reduced to just below 64 Kilobits per second.

Please note:

o Your local access speeds will not be affected.
o Your international access speeds will return to normal next month.


why does mweb say ur intl speeds will be reduced 2 64kbits as every1 says u get put on a non existing slower link but according 2 mweb 64kbits link and thats normal isdn speeds which i will be happy 2 get with intl speeds

I wish international was 64k after capping is more
like a 9600 modem

Have you asked mweb about it? I'm on Telkom internet and I'm lucky to get 10 kilobits after the cap. The cap would be acceptable if we got the equivalent of a isdn connection for the rest of the month.

I thought Isdn was 64 kilobits, analogue modem is 56kilobits.

if isdn was 64kilobytes we wouldn't need adsl.

"64 Kilo<b>bits</b> per second" is a fraction of ISDN 64k

Erm, 64kilobits <b>IS</b> ISDN 64k.

Unless I've misunderstood you.

rofl, my bad... /me takes some of his own advice. [:I]

rest assured digitalsoldier, your speeds will not be 64k when
capped.
