[Please Note] Night surfer: new hours

21 October and night data balance is 9840MB. This is not working for me.
 
Was really confused how my normal day data was getting chewed up...
I start a few downloads at 11pm normally...
Now tonight I know I have no more day gbs but still out of bundle warning at 11:30!!!!
Now I know why, it sucks.
11pm start was the difference they had over all the other service providers, ADSL included.
Makes a rats ass difference if you are on a limited bundle having an extra hr in the morning, 11pm was perfect.
:(

I was hoping this is a new Telkom that cares about and wants to engage with its customers, but after this stunt, you realise it's still the old Telkom.

I agree.
They shoudve at least have a poll to find out what their customers wanted but its obvious these news hours are designed to serve their own greedy interests.
I used to use up quite a bit of my data between 11 and 12.The new hours in the morning dont help because Im usually exercising or doing work prep during that time..

I found a solution - LTE. :D

If I have stuff to download, I can do it early in the morning.

LTE is incredibly fast, so any big file/s I need, downloads very quickly.

Sorted. :)

It's not as good as it used to be, but I managed to use 9.5gb of night data this month. I wake.up early to do downloads now.

Why did they do this in the first place to begin with?

Kingrob's is the offical answer, it's part of merging TM into Telkom.

It has the advantage, for Telkom, that less data will be used. This deal is still amazing though.
 
I like the new night surfer hours - I wake up at 05:00 and do my daily browsing on night surfer. My child use the normal bundle during the day.

I still miss the 11 pm slot, as that was the time when I would watch any new YouTube videos from my subscriptions, before heading to bed.
 
I'm quite happy with the new hours. Granted, it meant changing my waking hours, but I guess I had to change them anyway... Hehe. That said, I'm often way too tired to wait for 11pm. Doing my downloads for two hours in the morning is much better.
