I was capped. Strange but I guess it could happen.
Anway, it lead to an interesting discussion with someone from Telkom's technical support desk.
First though, it appears that any routing that you may do behind your modem goes. Telkom will allow a connection to your modem and that's it. No rerouting.
Now I appreciate that the person I spoke to could well be clueless but the actual experience probably supports what he was saying. If you get capped Telkom only allow access to your email account, the two Telkom sites, and to the four banks.
Think about that - you burn through your 3 gigs and you now have access to the 10 gigs of local bandwidth - to Telkom or the banks. I can't think what I'd do with 10 gigs of stuff from a bank. Mind you, if I was a bank I'd seriously think about setting a WoW server.
This noise about new bundles from Telkom also seems to be a mission. If you think that you'll automatically be upgradede to 5GB think again. Seems that you need to call the accounts department.
Enough of a moan though - the call desk people were helpful in letting me do the top up thing especially as I was having problems remembering my password. Funny that.

I didn't test everything - I had stuff to do.
