If im not mistaken the uncapped plus just lets u download unlimited during the day? While the simple plus has a 20GB softcap right? So if u could live with 20GB day data and do downloads at night with the free night surfer it could save u R270? I have already signed up for simple plus and the tech is due to install for me on monday anyone else on the simple plus deal? How do u like it?

Telkom simple plus vs Uncapped plus

Simple uncapped plus is uncapped 24/7 with a fair use policy. The usage tracker displays a bar to indicate when you get close to being throttled.
Normal simple or as they call the accounts softcap accounts has a x amount or in your case 20GB of data that can be used between the hours of 7am to 00:00 Monday to Sunday. You get unlimited data usage between 00:00 and 7am Monday to Sunday which you can use to download everything you want it's unlimited between those times.
Once your 20GB daytime limit has been reached your connection would be slowed to 384k or 40KB/s download speed 24/7 until the new month and you restart your router.
To remove that limit you can top up and then you will be back to full speed to enjoy the topup allocation anytime or unlimited night surfer data at full speed.
The softcap also comes with free Facebook,Twitter,Whatsapp ect ect data so you can do social media 24/7 and it won't use your 20GB allocation.

Very helpful input bro thanks
now I cant wait to get connected, I can do with 20GB day data for the month and i'll do my downloads at midnight (insomniac lol) so I would say the deal would suit me.
Keep this in mind! Good deal though, you effectively have uncapped from 00:00-07:00 which would get you close to 5GB a night or 150GB a month.

And because uncapped is shaped to **** between 7am and 00pm, you might as well be on softcap.
I was warned at 6:30pm yesterday and couldn't get access to the internet till 1st day of this month (30min ago).While most people just get throttled to a slower speed.
Do you know how many GB per month a telkom 4mb uncapped account could download before being throttled.

Every local or international web page I opened turned to a Telkom message page.Luckily for me yesterday was the last day of the month.
Hi,I have two questions.
1) where can I see my monthly total bandwidth usage graph?
2) with Telkom Simple Uncapped Plus(4mb) account,does midnight-to-6am bandwidth usage count towards the monthly FUP limit?

That page should have had a box for your to either acknowledge or accept the TI AUP. Once you click on that you are softcapped to a lower speed but can still surf the net, download, etc.
The only times you will be disconnected are when your account is suspended, your line is faulty or your modem is switched off.

1. If on uncapped: http://userstats.adsl.saix.net/ and https://secure.telkomsa.net/titracker/
2. No, it does not.
Thanks for the reply.
