Obviously this site has little to do with bandwidth. It tracks local management performance - hence the readings under local. No doubt they will start fudging these figures soon in order to cut down on the current embarrassment levels
here's my stats thus far:

Ok well they wont be charging just yet.... Take a look at this article
Here are some of the nice tasty bits
"Telkom has previously indicated that it will charge a reduced fee for all local bandwidth consumption after the usage limit is reached. Telkom is however currently not charging for this service and the price for this local bandwidth has not been communicated yet."
And the most important
No official launch date yet
"Telkom’s Group Executive for Corporate Communications Lulu Letlape said that Telkom Internet commenced testing its intended solutions from 1 November 2007 in a live environment to ensure that the solution complies with the regulation concerned.
“Specific changes to Telkom Internet's subscribers’ contracts, as well as any new packages, will be communicated once testing is successfully completed,” said Letlape."

Yeah, lets just hope that they do stick to their word here and only start billing us after a set date i.e. once they have let us know the terms.
They might also just be testing what people do when they know that they don't have to pay for local. And If their system can handle the load then they will just keep it free. They did the same thing when they were testing the 4 meg lines that were supposed to be 1 meg lines.
