Telkom Internet Is Hardcapping

[ZuBS_]

So what is really going on then, eish?

Like micang said, telkom seems confused...

go read allyoucaneat's exploits then read this posted earlier:

Hardcapped on my one Telkom Internet 3gig account. Local and international is dead. only site I can visit is www.telkom.co.za.

I saw some1 else saying something similar to only www.telkom.co.za on another forum

Noone really knows exactly what is happening, perhaps tomorrow the AYCE team will be hardcapped as Telkom realise that they are "abusing" their account, oh NO!!!!!! lol, Telkom is gonna fall hard with this.

Telkom Internet is not hard capping at 3GB at this present moment. I'll upload some screenshots in the morning with some more tests that we have done.

apparently telkom will only be implementing hardcapping on their telkomsa.net accounts from dec2005/jan2006, their systems aren't in place to do it to their accounts yet

 

[eye_suc]

ok, so they arent hardcapping. so why are we paying for accounts that are assuming that we are being hardcapped?

I finally got a mail from telkom stating the same.. hard capping is not currently in place.. At least from telkom ISP side but the systems are being looked at for december. As to why the other ISP's are charging for capped lines.. I think you need to ask them that

the ISP's are being billed per gig, local or international. thats why they have to hardcap - otherwise telkom will charge them for it.

Kalvaer, can you please post the Telkom email that you got here?

 

[Maestr0]

Then why can't I do jack **** with that Telkom account of mine? No email, no local and no international. They are hardcapping man.

I'm milking another account...will check it on Saturday to see if it is hardcapped as well.

@ AYCE Sent you a PM

Now enx... how can telkom charge ISP's per gig.. and not Charge telkom ISP the same.. The are after all a "different" company are the not.. so hmmm is that not favouritism and somewhat illegal?

Hmm maybe because they actually are doing one thing.. and actually doing what they say in there terms and conditions.. and actually shutting down people who "milk accounts" ie abusers... I dont know.. ask them!

You know what...I don't care. I'll download like a mad man in the beginning of every month and then take it easy with my IS uncapped for the rest of the month.
