Anyone know if the 1.5Mbps throttle (once you've used your GB allocation) is uncapped on any network (or is it only Telkom?)...

I can't seem to find out...

Thanks!

Have the package.

It comes with 15GB of unlimited speed data
35GB at 1.5Mbps then unlimited at 512k
Also apparently mobile hotspot is only allowed on the first 15GB, not sure if this is enforced.

I am slightly disappointed as the packages fine print was only uploaded after the initial promotional advertisements. It is still good value for me though.
I just wish the 1.5mbps data could be used for hotspot, that would save me a walk to campus when studying during load shedding.

Update, I have used up my unlimited speed data and am using the 1.5mbps data but it appears that the speed has not been throttled (still +-80mbps on Telkom ZA-R)

Mobile hotspot also seems to be working still.

Can you share data from your 15gig and can you confirm personal hotspot on iPhone is working ? I need to share with my WiFi only iPad when away from home.

Personal hotspot works on my android on the 15GB(As stipulated in the contract) and on the uncapped (though I think this is a glitch and wouldn't bank on it).

I have used 70Gb this month, with no throttling and hotspot is working great.
 
I'm going to go grab one of these contracts tomorrow (the R399 30GB). Confirmed with Telkom that an eSim is available - so going to use it as a secondary sim in my iPhone.

eSim is in, and is active.

Some decent speed test results (iPhone 13).

I'll monitor the data cap and see if it kicks in.

Are you able to have multisim on these deals?

As in share the data with another sim ? Nope not possible. I got it on my iPhone and personal hotspot is available; I have connected both my tablet and laptop so far and it works. Then again I don’t think I have used my “free” allocation yet.

Yea I mean multi sims so secondary sims which share the primary sims package.
 
Greetings, can anyone please update us on the Telkom unlimited data plan. I noticed the cheapest prepaid plan is R499. I would like to find out besides the allocated data, how much were you able to download during the duration. Also how was the connectivity, was it stable or the network keeps dropping.

In addition I would like to know if Telkom throttled your download speed once you used up the fair usage allocated data, if yes what was your average download speed?
