I just checked now and on the front page it is shows this:

Blended Usage for June
Uploaded 0.9302 MB
Downloaded 4.3574 MB
Combined Total 5.2876 MB
TopUp Purchased for June 0 GB

Blended Current Active Sessions
Connection 1 170.9098 MB Last refreshed @15:03
But if I view a graph it shows this:
Blended

Total Usage for June : 5.2876 MB

Local

So which is right? Have I been reset?
 
Well yes check at the blended if you login. Don't check at the graphs
 
Its back to normal this morning and over my 2 gig cap. How far can I go before telkom cap me properly now?
 
Don't rely on this, check your SAIX.net usage details...

They did the same thing last month, we all went crazy and many of us got billed... once bitten, twice shy!!!!!!!!
 
Haha I'm not talking about someone that downloaded over 100Gig of P0rn :-)

Did you get billed for blended usage? I wen over this month to about 5 or 6GB of blended with my 1GB account. They never charged me for blended and I don't think they will ever charge you extra for blended. Only local :)
 
Gdiza clearly didn't see that we are talking about international, Telkom has no way of billing you for international since it is their responsibility to cut you off, not yours.

Local is another story...
 
I always have an idea of what I should be on and if the front page does not show this amount I check the usage graphs to confirm.... I tend to find at least one of these figures confirms what I more or less know... and when I get to 19.5Gb I stop all my lined up downloads to ensure I do not go over my 20Gb. If you do and you get charged, don't whinge as Telkom has warned everyone.

EDIT : Yes, this is for local as my international gets capped at about 3.6Gb and you get switched across to local only - which is not capped!
 
Telkom Capping

Int Cap:

1Gb= ?
2Gb= ?
3Gb= ?

If you go over this limit what will happen?
You wont get billed and you will switch over to your local cap?

Local Cap:
1Gb= ?
2Gb= ?
3Gb= ?

If you go over this limit what will happen?
You will get billed?
How much per gig?
Can you buy the Openbrowse http://www.openweb.co.za/local_adsl.php to make use of this local bandwidth or do you need to purchase their ADL package as well?
 
local on do2 is 20 gig before they start billing you at R25 a gig, so they warn. Internatonal has a threshold of 2 gig, just how much you get and when they cap you seems to be a magic number though. I did over 7 gig before the cap on the 18th.
