Reached my Telkom cap, bit worried

[Gimaru]

I've reached my 3gig cap and I'm 800mb over it it seems. I'm concerned, will this cost me extra?

Nah mate no need to worry you can actually keep hitting your downloads like a wh0re.its all because of Telkoms Soft Cap Policy.Someone can explain im at 5.5 gigs on my Telkom 2 gig account.

Shot dude, was worried there for a sec

I once got 16.8gb out of a 3gb Telkom account. Hasn't happened for a while though - these days the national average is around 10gb. But you can go wild Gimaru, very unlikely that you'll get yourself hard-capped before the end of this month.

I managed to download more than I thought over the weekend (catching up on all my Star Trek Fan Series Downloads) and managed to do something like 14Gb before it got snipped. Got a friendly reminder from TelkomInternet this morning telling me that I've been added to their list of high-end users (with some additional threats of being barred from their services for ever).

Question: how much can I actually go over the 3Gb without being an "high-end" user and to make sure that I don't get the boot (if it is anything but an idle threat). I'd like to keep the TelkomInternet account, of course, as the extra Gigs a month would cost money somewhere else. I normally do around 6-8Gb.
