Usually it's fine. You don't need to buffer at all but these past 2 weeks sometimes it's been a bit iffy for about 2 hours in the evenings at times and I've needed to buffer once or twice.
 
Just noticed I've been throttled for the first time in my life. How long does Telkom throttling last?

This is something about Telkom that I don't understand.. I have a friend that's on a 10GB capped account and when he gets capped, he can still use his internet, but at a lower speed. On my uncapped account, after 200GB I get reduced to exactly the same speed my friend is on when he is capped. And you just confirmed that speed returns to normal at midnight tonight.

So wtf is the difference between a 200GB capped account and an uncapped account?
 
Same here - been capped to 30 - 40kb since Tuesday

Thought there was something wrong with line, noticed some spiking to to normal speeds every now and then

Called Telkom, and sure as hell - been capped after using 120 gig on 2mb line for the month

Also first time it happened to me

My all inclusive Telkom account is about R1,200 per month - sorry WAS !
I cancelled immediately and went with AXXESS - don't mind wasting the 30 day cancel period - I am just done with Telkom !

Rant Over ;-)

Ok I was throttled for about 4 hours. to 0.43Mbps first time in Months
I knew I would be throttled some time, My Son asked me to download a program that was 22gig and only had a few seeders let it run allday for 3 days .

Did manage 420 Gigs March

I am also on 4meg uncapped

Edit.... screenshot taken about an hour B4 capping/throttling

Is there a way to check Night Surfer usage on 2MB uncapped line ?

Just did a check on https://userstats.adsl.saix.net
Only did downloads on Night Surfing for the last 3 days
The combined total at "userstats" reflect all the night surfing
I rebooted the modem on all occasions to force new session for Night Surfing

The Usage Tracking Tool also display "You are on an Uncapped product and therefore usage tracking is not applicable to you"

So how do I know if this is not added to my soft cap ?

My line is as slow as an owl swimming through custard right now.
Seems to happen on and off for the past month.

It's not. Did the bar on the usage tracking tool grow?
