Throttled for how long?

Mmmmmm, looks like 200gb gets you throttled to 4Mbps, 250gb gets you throttled to 256Kbps.

Have you reached those heard it from someone ? 256 seriously that's horrible don't even know how it's legal to give Internet at that speed

Throttled for how long?

Probably till the end of the month. Too early to say. Have to wait and see what practical user experiences are but it's a bit disappointing.

No. I'm guessing based on the speed tests cocomelt posted. But we will know soon enough.

250gb isn't bad! Still great value if you got it @ R599 and good value @ R799.

It's very poor value in my opinion. How do I top up once I am throttled? At least on ADSL you can pick and choose top ups from various ISPs as well as having night surfer.

250gb is bad :/

5 devices connected, lots of streaming. Last month did up to 450gb

 

[digitalp]

256gb gets you throttled to 256k speeds.

 

[SeaSickMama]

Well id you think about it R800 for lte speed data at 250Gb it ain't bad but it's still annoying that they have done this now

Viva la Telkom SUPERFAST LTE UNCAPPED

Well so far no one has been informed ( or if they have been informed, it was not mentioned here), that they are throttled. So are people throttled or is it again back haul issues?

I'm throttled to 4mb after 250mb

Well we are over a week into the month. But they might be doing the same as mweb does with the whole 30 day rolling period, that sucked as generally once you stuck in it you in it for the long run until you don't use the Internet for a while. But only time will tell in this month I'm at around 45gb Apple launched all their updates last night so it was a little busy for me. I wanna download GTA V again, as the mods that are out are awesome but I don't wanna push 80GB on my lte then they slow me

Got this message this morning:

Yip, I sincerely hope Telkom are taken to task over their flagrant disregard for their own product T&C's.

If they do insist on throttling heavily they should at least provide an incentive for people to download between 12 and 6am. To punish those who schedule downloads to the middle of the night the same as those who download between 6pm and 12 is rather ridiculous and unfair.

I received the same SMS but I didn't monitor my usage. Now under the T&C

Bandwidth intensive protocols or applications are defined as Bit torrent traffic downloaded via Peer to Peer, Application to Application, Application to Server, news servers Protocols ( NNTP)

So they added application to application and application to server as bandwidth intensive protocols. That means everything is considered as bandwidth intensive protocol.

250mb?

Sorry 250gb

Yep totally a joke ito streaming. True uncapped. Never throttled .
250gb is a joke.

I note speeds nowadays in the 20mbps range.

Telkom, the days are fast approaching where you will be relegated to irrelevance.
