Won't stand a chance against:

Consumer’s rights to demand quality service

(a) the timely performance and completion of those services, and timely notice of any unavoidable delay in the performance of the services;
(b) the performance of the services in a manner and quality that persons are generally entitled to expect;
(c) the use, delivery or installation of goods that are free of defects and of a quality that persons are generally entitled to expect, if any such goods are required for performance of the services; and
(d) the return of any property or control over any property of the consumer in at least as good a condition as it was when the consumer made it available to the supplier for the purpose of performing such services, having regard to the circumstances of the supply, and any specific criteria or conditions agreed between the supplier and the consumer before or during the performance of the services.

Just got capped, 18.4 GB on a do2 package. A Good run :D

For your Info Telkom has extended the Free blended data promotion for another month, 1 September to 30 September 2011,” said Telkom spokesperson Pynee Chetty.

I certainly hope so. I got capped at 43GB today (9GB package, with the 20GB special). So also a good run, but does not take away the fact that 9GB is not nearly enough, and the hard cap of 40GB on their cap management tool is also not enough. The internet has changed, users require way more bandwidth. If not uncapped, I am hoping for a cap of 100GB on their high end packages. Also hoping for 4Mbps speed to increase to 50Mbps sometime. Should be possible now with that Atlantic cable?
 
I think we are in for a looooooong wait for 50Mbps, Telkom are playing with 20 & 40 Mbps but am sure this will only apply to certain exchanges and new complex's where the last mile will be on fibre
 
So, I'm supposed to be capped, but currently am not. Anyone else, or am I just lucky?
 
Last time i had this did 120 gig int lol but checked twice still on local...
