Sorry to hear about your problems gdiza but do you really expect a forum member to help pay for your bill?
Man up and handle your bussines.
Why dont you ask your family or friends for help with the money?

I've set it up but I've never used it on any site... so I only ever get Telkom related e-mails via it.

Change your e-mail, you can, I have.

If you must use your e-mail address, use a @gmail.com one... that has the best anti spam things ever!

How am I suppose to access gmail.com when I am capped? Do you know the secret to bypass local bandwitdh, If so please share it with us, as I am very interested and others known how you do this ....

Question

Why did you carry on going over when it was made quite clear that telkom had the right to charge you as of 1 Feb ?

Was on usage page and on forums that the trial would be till then.

Yes, he actually did do it to himself his making his problem our problem, keep your financial matters to yourself in the first place gdiza, he did get a warning from Telkom in the first place.. I got no warning from Telkom ( So, I am coughing up the amount of R4,534)
 
RichardG You went 177 gigs over your alotted, ouch.

Yeah , but I ain't complaining...
I've to pay for my actions.


Here you go boys ::::::::

Please bear in mind that this is a usage-based subscription and, as such, is subject to a service threshold. Thresholds are the accumulated total of both your uploaded (sending) and downloaded (receiving) data, which includes the network overheads.

As a TelkomInternet subscriber you have access to our unique threshold management service. This service operates as follows: should you exceed your initial individual service threshold, as above, you will automatically be transferred into our collective threshold option. This will enable you to stay online until such time that the average usage for all our subscribers reaches the collective service threshold.

Should you exceed both your service threshold and that of the collective, you will be placed within restrictive limits, allowing access to e-mail and the four major banking sites.

Should you require full internet access at this point, you will be required to obtain a new username to remain online.

To unsubscribe from this reporting service or to view your online usage graphs, go to http://adsl.telkomsa.net

To report bandwidth abuse, please e-mail [email protected] immediately, attaching your online usage report.

Warm regards

We can still hold telkom liable, as they never did that ;)

I agree, some of us are struggling to pay our 384 and 512 lines, while others are enjoying 4Meg lines.

You should learn self control and stop downloading stuff you don't need, but on the other hand Telkoms systems should be flaky and they should cap local.
 
not to sound like an ass, but if you cant afford that type of bill you should not be doing it to begin with.You have no one else but yourself to blame.

You have a contract with Telscum? WTF? The lady asked me if I wanted a contract... I just smiled and said no. And I still got a free router (whoopee)
 
I do find it strange that the daily email telkom sends out doesn't include local usage and the warning about their right to charge
 
My record was 500 GB of traffic in a month. :D (it was my first month with ADSL too)
I've worked out that if you max out your 4mbps line 24/7 for 31 days, you can only achieve a transfer total of ~1100MB.

So now you have a goal. :)
 
Well, the bill is officially paid.

Telkom, thanks for nothing you SOB's!

Still can't believe I had to pay for local fscking traffic!
 
You guys think this is for 'over' local usage?
Because seriously, I've checked this bill from top to bottom and it says NOTHING about what it actually is for except for "Event for Account Adjustment" which is R1484.59 ex vat.

Maybe the reason it's not showing anything is because the details are too explicit...:D

Or maybe Telkom don't know what to really call it on their 'systems' because their 'systems' are probably made internationally, the option to rape a client for LOCAL usage isn't on there, so they have a option which fits 'every other situation' and that is called "Event for Account Adjustment"

:rolleyes:
