There has been a small change to capping policy on the TelkomInternet accounts, as of 14 December 2006.

I am interested to see exactly how this has affected capping figures and if there are similar capping stats for different people. i.e Caps now set at x figure.

Thanks
Mr.G
 
I thought they were going to cap all accounts at 2 or 3 gigs and then only allow you access to certain sites beyond that?
 
Yeah don't keep us in suspense MrG (it ain't april yet.)
 
If you were capped with the old IP address range
of 165.165.x.x you were given an ip of 165.165.65.x ?
and less , is this still the same with the new range
and what is the new capped IP address range 41.242.x.x
 
The important statistic from the accounts will be for account reaching double their limit.

i.e possible theory has been if 3GB accounts reach 6GB thats where the cap now is.

Just trying to see if there has been a change to the Relaxed Capping system. Which point are you denied access, except to the banking/email.
 
I have a 3GB 384 account and was surprised to see that December usage was @ 4.8GB. I was downloading from USA and was expecting to be capped, but speeds were normal.
 
Seems the TI account has not changed, in that the relaxed capping is still there. However, when i was capped, I could still authenticate, but could only do banking, emails and surf TI's web page.

Thanks for the screenshot. It says you downloaded 9GB 1st therefore, I imagine you redialed on the 2nd... i,e the date of capping was first.

That kills me theory of being capped above 6GB?

In total it was 11 sessions. 4 sessions for the 1st. I get a lot of sync losses with the 4mb line.
 
yeah i see there were more sessions the day afterwards so that safely means capping system hasnt changed, besides access to banking etc thanks :)
 
How long is your TI 3Gb DSL acc valid for as I bought mine 21/12/2006 ?

Does Telkom automatically re-bill you after the month is up ?
 
yes they just continue billing you. It never ends, even if you want it... like a bad tooth ache... you can only die to get rid of it.
 
First account capped on 5 January at 9.8GB. First account usually gets to around 17gb by the 12th day of the month before being capped. Not so this month it seems. :eek:
 
Second account capped. Stats however show 28.5gb which doesn't include the 6th which was approx another 8gb. Till now it hasn't updated yet

I accidentally reached my cap in December and then noticed I wasn't getting capped, so just went on using it, went up to 6.5 GB by the end of the month on a 3GB account with Telkom ISP. I wasn't denied access to anything as far as I could tell. (This is the first time I went so far past the cap - can't afford multiple accounts etc.)

The 'change to the capping policy' isn't clear to me.
