Thinking of joining telkom, I am a heavy user so whats my cap before I get throttled on 1MB line I need to to 180GB a month?

I got around 180GB 3 times so far on my mweb 1mb unthrottled one. Using it for about 10 months now.

When I was with Telkom even with the semi shaping I got over 180GB every month.

Then Mweb's R199 account is worth the extra R35. I can get about 160GB on average on the 1mbps account.

It doesn't stop when throttled- it's just slower. I'm still trucking along, but only doing ~5GB/day instead of 8 or 9 (DL).

I'll update at month end to see how much I get even with throttling.

So what you at now... I'm at 155GB using Mweb's 1Mbps account.

I expect almost double if you on a 2mbps line...

Let us know?

Still the same- stats only update once or twice a day and they haven't changed yet:

Is that 132GB downloaded or in total? I'm on ~100GB DL, 160GB total for the month and I only started on the 13th...

As it is, I'm running out of stuff to watch- this line can barley keen up with a few hours of HD per day ;)

Got whole seasons of Justified, Southland and Sons of Anarchy in the pipeline which should complete in a week or so to keep me going :D

from mweb? Bypass shaping?

yes on suckweb ...
Its not bypassing (don't do torrents or nbz only http over ssh tunnel), its the rolling window flag. On 2MB seems couple days of 19gb got me a warning now 1mb, couple of days of 8.3gb got me a warning, go figure, skanky rearmunchers can ban me had enough... looks like i could push 180gb on 2mb data package with 1mb line for 50 bucks more from telkom instead of the R700 rand mweb keeps pushing on me. Whats telkom's cancellation policy. 1 months notice?

So you not on the unthrottled account then....?

I used to be with mweb. Premium 4meg uncapped. In my last month with them (notice period) I pulled over 800GB but only due to bypassing their shaping. Received a warning hence my previous question(s).
I've been with Telkom since last month though and I don't do any "unshaping" of my line.
 
Hmm just checked both SAIX and and TiTracker. My 2MB line has done 171GB total according to SAIX and the TiTracker is still showing in the green slightly over half way.
If orange is dependent on a sort of soft cap then I guess I'm gonna hit that soon, if it's based on continuous usage then I think I'll manage to avoid both it and the red for this month.
