Hi

I've got an openweb account that has gone 1000% over cap, on 1GB prepaid (no openbrowse). Is this normal? I'm enjoying it at the moment, but just wondering if everyone has similar experiences?

You've probably given enough detail for them to figure out what account it is and cap it. :o
 
They cant charge him for going over his int. cap unless he's on one of those pay per meg things...
 
Ok, slow moment for me -> I cannot find the prepaid accounts on the openweb website :confused:

So I though I'd stop and ask for directions :o Anyone ?!

Openweb doesn't offer prepaid accounts. Try WebAfrica or Axxess.

I've used about 140 gigs on a small cap local only account and 70 gigs of that was used on international. ISPs seem to be very generous these days :D

They know what we have to go thought ;) with telkom
 
How does this effect ISPs though? Let's say someone does 50GB on a 5GB OW SAIX account? I assume they have to front the cost of the bandwidth (in wholesale prices).

I think on SAIX accounts, the ISP will have to bear the bill of overusage! (whether they pass some of it on the customer, I suppose, depends on the terms and conditions of use the user agreed to when signing up)

AFAIK ISP's pay SAIX per GB used over all the accounts that they have...

EDIT: To the thread-starter, can you please clear this up -> You have a prepaid account from OpenWeb?

So, basically, exploiting your ISP's failure to cap you is like having sex with a woman that's unconcious? :)

Scary stuff!
