Thanks MickZA, look forward for feedback.

For now though the Telkom site has been updated but abit broken too lol

Goto http://www.telkomsa.net > Our products > Access Services > Uncapped.

They should really do a overhaul on their site :(. Bastards :p



See bold :)

Maybe im blind but i still dont see uncapped on the pages you specified. Nevermind i had to bit the browser into compatibility mode. ****ing lame.

I used to think this aswell, current ISP works well for me. After a week of changing backbones, i am now stable and full speed 24/7. Got around 550GB last month which isn't bad :)

The thing is though do you really get full speed on mweb or any other uncapped ISP before 10pm? So telkom is doing the correct thing by stating it up front.

According to White in a tweet, when asked about 500GB, he says that is excessive but you won't be cut off. Isn't that awesome :D

Letting early adopters like you test the product for us & provide feedback before we decide requires no brain cells at all!
 
Will provide some feedback later tonight, prior and after throttling times.

Yes, I usually get full speeds on my Mweb 1 meg during the day. Pushed 164 gigs last month without even trying.
 
Applied for the uncapped special at rage this weekend, called today to follow up, and now they cannot find any trace of the order. I probably should not have expected anything better from Telkom
 
@frobbertze, you should have a reference number, speak to someone who sounds more "capable" .

Although not unheard of before, you will get lucky :p....do keep us posted please.
 
So dose anyone know if there is a FUP, What ports are blocked or opened, and speeds day and night on the packages if anyone has one.

The Telkom rep I spoke to said the uncapped accounts are not shaped anymore than their capped accounts. They use throttling as opposed to shaping, in order to curb abuse.

Chances are they have not entered your order into the system yet. I'm guessing people signed up via pen and paper @ rage, and so they would have to manually add hundreds of applications to their system today.
 
Thanks all. Lets see now what there site says......

I do not know how it is called UnCapped. This should be a Limited Internet Service.

Uncapped - Unlimited Internet, Full Speed 24x7, No Shapping. etc....

Oh welll.

Has anyone got this yet and any luck....

Uncapped is relative. I think the point is that there is no cap. This has been debated over and over literally to death, so I won't go any further than what I have.

I will stick with my current uncapped shaped account as I get full speed on the things that matter to me... :D
