hi all,

lets do the same as in January, whoever gets capped with telkominternet account, please post the approximate time and the total usage for the month.

seeing that the SAOL/OpenWEB are increasing their prices from the next month, I need an alternative ... :D

thanks
 
Also interested. WebAfrica is great, but I will head towards TelkomInternet after this month if their capping system continues. BTW, can you top up by buying another gig(not another account) when you get capped? (Sorry for asking what has probably been explained before. Trawling through the old threads trying to find an answer)

If possible indicate if on 2Gig or 3Gig account - are these accounts capped on the same basis?

Well, Telkom doens't seem to be montiring me...I get 0 GB in the daily emails....

But anyway....downloaded a few linux distro's already.
 
At 12.9GB and not capped yet. on a 3GB account. Was not downloading all the time tho.

As per usual if I get close to 30GB I will be more than happy.
 
interestingly, according to the online monitor, i downloaded 377 MB on the 7th :/

not too bad...if the seventh had already come and gone, but as far as i know, today's the 4th....

Should sue... just cause.

I've got an account with a SAIX reseller that doesn't log bandwidth... I'm not using it heavily because then they have to pay for the bandwith from Telkom and that's not cool. It's just interesting though, that there are accounts that don't log... I want to know where the flaw is.
 
When the 1Nov pricing came ISPs had a choice. They could buy the normal 3,5,20,30gb packages from SAIX and sell them to us as is. Or they could by a pool of gb and make their own packages, thus pay for extra gbs. I dont think your isp has their own pool, otherwise they would hectically monitor u and they will definitely make sure u keep to your cap

A friend of a friend reached 120Gb on a 3GB account and was still not capped by Telscum
 
Anyone on a 2Gb TelkomInternet account that has used far more than 2Gb?
 
The Power just tripped so I got reset sooner than I should have.

Got capped at 23.1GB on a Telkom 3GB Account.

Interesting. Maybe 20ish gigs will become the average for most months.
 
The Icafe I work at has logged at least 20 gig per Telkom account since the beginning of this year...I havent checked the logs in a while, but if it stays like that I am gonna be very happy once I get adsl ^_^
