Telkom LTE CAP reached on 17 or 18 August

[Electron1]

Not sure if coincidence, but 2 customers complained today of unexpectedly reaching their cap.
Yes both have low bandwidth contracts, one has 5GB the other 10GB.
Both do not use excessive bandwidth.
One (5GB user) uses it purely for VPN from Home, and has used this package for the past year, never reaching cap. Nothing has changed in their usage pattern.
The other (10GB user) has just switched to LTE from ADSL.
Both computers run Windows 10 - maybe large downloads of patches or faulty repetitive patch downloads (strong possibility)?

What I really want to know is has anyone else unexpectedly reached their cap in the last 48 hours?
Could it be more sabotage on Telkom by striking working messing things up internally?

I also had a client on a 20GB cap reach it early. They only have one person in the office But I chalked it up to the anniversary update, and they also downloaded Office 2016 through Office 365. Even though that should be much less than 20GB.

Search for “Check for updates” in the Start menu.
Under “Windows Update” choose “Advanced options.”
Under “Choose how updates are installed” click “Choose how updates are delivered.”
Disable the toggle under “Updated from more than one place.”

This will prevent your computer from being used as a peer-to-peer server in distributing updates. Of course, the downside is that it also prevents you from receiving updates from other users, so you’re stuck with the possibly slower Microsoft servers. Whenever the next update rolls around, it may be worth turning this back on. Just watch your data usage when you do.
