TelkomInternet - Capped Users for May 2007

Well it would be shooting myself in the foot a bit if I was to leave just coz they hard cap. ADSL rental 4mbps = R516pm. doBroadband 4mbps = R675. Which means I effectively pay R159pm for 3GB. Would have liked the soft cap to kick in a whole lot later but I can't think of where else I'll get 3GB at that price.
 
@Bonobo - for what its worth I have a 3GB dsl512telkomsa.net account and was capped on exactly 3GB this month - Can you tell us if soft capping is a thing of the past ? If so I shall be finding another ISP immediately. the reason I have a Telkom account is for the softcap.
 
I read on the forum that a 1GB account would be allowed to download 2GB, 2GB would be allowed to download 4GB etc. Is this no longer true?
 
fook this! if Telkom starts with hardcapping im going straight to whoever.thats the only point of staying with them :( and now knowing that il only be able to download so little sure is sad :(

PM me your username and I will see why you were capped. If you have a 3Gb account this month, you would have been capped at 6Gb.
 
bonobo i've also sent you a PM. I've also got a dsl512telkomsa.net account.
 
Im at 2.2GB on my first 3GB account.... so, lets see what happens.
 
Freaksta, you're not actually hardcapped right? more like telkom's sucky soft cap?
I hope it's maybe just some areas they being strict on... but if I get capped, I'll be very upset.
 
Well.. It seems that other people are also "capped" WEO i can go to the telkom site.. This is so kewl...

let me know how your 3gig+ goes.. Beware..
 
Caped @3.2 GB.
This is a disgrace.
All i can say is webafrica will get a sh*t load more customers, including me.
 
If you cancel today, will your account still be running next month? or is it like WebAfrica etc, where you cancel today, and thats it? i.e no notice period?
 
what i cant understand is, telkom makes billions in profit, has thousands of users, yet still charges us more? If countries like england have cheap broadband why cant we? And also, @ renger, what is the internet worth if we cant use it at around the 8th of every month? I havnt downloaded a single large file, only browsing, and i got capped. And then i see you posted that businesses also use 3gig cap, they would also get capped now like the rest of us. a 3gb cap is for an old Granny who uses email, and thats about it.
 
Ye, i really think telkom needs to think about making the cap about 10gigs.. Im not in need of an uncapped account.. I just want some intl bw..

If i could buy the OLD 30gig accounts then i would be happy.. Most people where happy in those days.. I dont get why its change..

All i need is 10-15gigs intl bw and my 30gig local..

10GB international is certainly a reasonable start. Getting rid of the International/Local divide would be a help as well. Overseas, there is no distinction made between the two.

Not much point in having the WORLD wide web, if you can only access sites inside your own country . :rolleyes:
 
Hardcapped my telkom 3gig at 3.1 gigs.
YAY!! what happened to the so called 6gig allowence this month.
Getting rid of my account and moving to openweb next month
