And now they've stopped, I didn't cancel them. I'd rather not change anything just now I get bucketloads of bandwidth reports!

Same here no bandwidth emails, but when I checked the bandwidth monitor webpage it seems to be correct as far as my usage goes this month.
Stayed at 0 usage for days and now it seems to be correct.

Hmmm, they must have added you to the "lucky BW user draw of the month list" :D

Still nothing here and webpage is stuck at 1.02gb for me. :eek:

Maybe their bandwith usage only gets updated when a session closes. In other words if you are connected for days on end with the same ip the bandwith monitor show usage for the last time you disconnected ?

ghostim that may be true in some cases but I have tried all sorts of things and still no BW reports.
There does not seem any pattern as to when or if you get a BW report be it by email or the webpage.

Perhaps WBS are processing a backlog of daily bandwidth reports going back to May [2005], and it's really slow bcos they have to type each one up manually...:D

My last evening of iBurst...downloading slowly with 1605MB left of my 3GB cap...FC4 iso images...

Lucky you! :)
Not quite, WBS cut my iBurst account just after 8pm last night with 1406MB left [according to Bandview in SWE2], so all my FC4 iso image downloads failed in Reget...:mad:...may the fleas of 1406 camels infest the shared underware of Thami Mtshali & Satan Parvin...:mad:...Vodacom's 3G to the rescue, and I should be getting ADSL soon so WBS can deal with all the bad karma they have created for themselves...:D

Why am I not surprised, they must be awarded as the most clueless company ever...

I have just been connected to iBurst, and when i first checked my cap, i had recieved triple the amount i paid for.

So either i am gonna be paying for it (bad), or i have 9 gigs to use! (good)

Just wondering if it has happened to any other brand new users, and if you got charged later.

Has WBS "resolved" this problem yet?
