Over the red line

It does seem illogical that the ISP would not then enforce a hardcap when the client reaches 30Gb.

What are the reasons SAOL does not want to hardcap clients? It is usualy the practice to keep downloads going 24Hrs at max speed (Localy obvs) once the cap for international traffic is reached.

I used to do over 100Gb on my 3 Gig account. ISP's could be looking @ some serious losses if they don't cap and what you are saying is not inaccurate

When we initially released our low-priced-high-cap accounts we planned on enforcing hard caps. Considering www.myadsl.co.za is the local hub of informed ADSL users, I posted a thread including our pricing to get feedback from the community. When I mentioned the hard cap it was obviously met with a lot of negativity and I then took it up with management to see if we could change the policy.

This is where we are now - we are not imposing hard caps, however, we will be monitoring the situation closely - from past reports we don't foresee any major problems.
