Telkom 10mbs uncapped

[Damz70]

Hi I have just recently installed a 10mbs uncapped adsl line into my home,I was wondering how uncapped is it? How many gigs can you use until they cap it?
The service provider is telkom.

You get a Fair usage policy of 900GB, then they will cap your speed

On 10mbs line you get 900GB but will start getting throttled during peak times after using 50% (450gb), and again further throttling at 75% and 100% of the 900GB FUP.

Hi gazbal
So after 450gigs I will be throttled to 5mbs during peak times or after 450gigs I’ll only have a 5mbs for another 225gigs(overall 675gig usage)

Don't forget night data: midnight to 7am is 'free'

Sort of , when you hit 450GB you will be throttled at 5 Mbps for 2 hours (7PM to 9PM i think), when you hit 675 GB they will throttle you to 2.5 Mbps for 4 hours 7pm-11pm) and once you hit 900GB you will be throttled to 384 kbps from 7am till midnight
but remember the 900 GB cap is only calculated from 7AM till midnight - anything used from Midnight to 7AM is excluded - so if you can schedule downloads and you updates etc to run at that time, you shoudl not have any issues - i have never hit that 450GB and i use a crap load.

Nope, you will be throttled to 10% of line speed, so 1Mb/s if you're on a 10Mb/s line.

isn't the throttling across all the packages
Fup 1- 1/2 speed
Fup 2- 1/4 speed
Fup 3- 1/8 speed or 384kbps whichever is faster

You're correct, it's 1/8. So on a 10Mb/s line it's 1.25Mb/s

Dunno why but had the vox figures in my head.

lol worked out 1/8 incorrectly, seem to think it was 128kbps for some reason

I've never had issues and I also stream torrents directly with soda player, no buffering which I actually amazed about seeing it's only a 4Mb/s line

Hi Dirtdiver. I’ve got a 4 Mbps line with Telkom. Speed test always show 3,4 Mbps which is 435 kBps (3,4*1024/8=435). I find peer-to-peer slow, very slow. Not that it bothers me much, I can wait a day or two to watch a movie. Sometimes a movie might even take a week to download. So what?

Here’s a screenshot 2 o’clock this morning. I was pleasantly surprised to see peer-to-peer downloading at 353 kBps which is 2,75 Mbps (353*8/1024=2,75). That’s more than okay with me.

But if you use normal download, like through the browser, your movie will download in under 2 hours(3GB file).

Maybe stop using peer to peer

Many streaming services on Kodi allow you to download movies and series. Why struggle with P2P (torrents).

You're doing something wrong somewhere. Is your torrent client correctly setup, have you enabled port forwarding on your router for the port(s) used by your client, do the torrents have sufficient seeders etc?
