Now I'm confused

[paf]

Got these 2 mails from Telkom today:
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">
Dear Telkom Internet subscriber,

Herewith a notification to inform you that you have uploaded 377.96Mbytes and downloaded 2.41Gbytes and that you reached 80% of your monthly 3.00Gbytes cap on both up- and downloaded traffic combined. Please note that you will be redirected to a throttled international service once you reached the cap limit on either one of these. You have 602.68Mbytes of bandwidth usage left before the constraint will apply.
........

Regards,

Dear Telkom Internet subscriber,

Just a short report to indicate that you have currently uploaded 377.96Mbytes and downloaded 2.41Gbytes of your monthly 3.00Gbytes allocated volume. Should you reach the 3.00Gbytes cap on the combined total of these, you will be redirected to a throttled international service.

80% = 2.4/3 - that's downloaded only - not both directions.
But the second mail talks about combined.

So which is it?

There seems to be a lot of incoherence with Telkom reports.

Hi Goldie5218
I'm not sure whether the following only applies to Telkom Internet users. You log on with the user id/password Telkom supplied you.
Go to http://adsl.telkomsa.net/
There you can see your current usage according to Telkom and there are a couple of options for subscribing to certain automated notifications.

Typical Telkom type response:
<b>Login unsuccessful, please note that the online tracker is only available to Telkom Internet ADSL users only</b>

<font color="blue"><b>IS</b></font id="blue"> will get the usage info for anyone

Can't uderstand this - my uname/passw is registered neither with telkom nor IS and the IS link works fine for me [?]
The Telkom link does not work - but this is no surprise []

I don't quite see how IS would get the stats.
I get 0 as well, but the authentication seems genuine.
