Sign up with GoogleI use my bandwidth sparingly with a prepaid account through WebAfrica. I refrain from use due to pricing being so expensive--and a ripoff.
But, whenever I use the Internet more than usual I notice the bandwidth usage is not in line with my downloads. I have not taken exact note of what I download to then verify it against what WebAfrica reports, but it doesn't feel as if the usage is being recorded correctly. I'm not talking about 10% or 30% difference, but more than 100% difference. By example, say I download OpenOffice of a 100MB, it would not surprise me if my WebAfrica usage shows as +200MB.
I reported this some time ago and it was referred to SAIX and that someone else might be using my account. Well nothing has come of it. I got reply that all was just fine. I change my password fairly regularly, I use the WebAfrica option that only my phone number can be used for my usage.
But still the bandwidth usage seems excessively recorded. Off course I cannot prove or verify this unless I'm prepared to spend umpteen hours on it. And I'm not saying WebAfrica is recording incorrectly, but the recording is likely incorrectly done somewhere along the line.
So I'm wondering is anyone else experiencing excessively high recorded bandwidth usage?
It might very well be that in a country where we pay 1000% more for bandwidth than the norm, that the recording of bandwidth is flawed, so it might mean that we are likely paying 2000% more than we should.
Could someone with time on their hands look into this on their own usage? I suspect the bandwidth usage recording is flawed, but do not have the time or inclination to verify it.
