TelkomInternet June

KILL THE INT then use the local, but I didnt do that this month :(

Yeah, I was contemplating downloading using torrents etc.
Thing is, when you've got two pc's downloading and getting uncached speeds of 100KB/s on both, then getting an NZB is easier and faster than going the torrents route..

What I want to know is :

How big do you think the chance is that they'll start charging me after this month if I say, download 60GB local?

Good idea or Bad idea : ???
Should I trade my IS 30GB account for another 3GB Telkom account :p ??

Thing is how do we teach these fools that their usage tracker isnt working ?

No-one to call, no-one to listen, DEFINATELY not paying any bill, thus telkom kick you off your phone line and yeah, ure shafted.

Na, I think you'll get away with it ;)
 
Had done about 3 gig international on my Do1 when TI decided to reset my cap again. So lets see how far I can smoke it this time :p

i was just about to start a thread...
This is my first month with telkom...where do you go to check how much bandwidth you've used thus far?
 
Telkom has been good to me this month.

Roughly 3 gigs before they reset it for the first time, and now it's 6.9437 GB and counting on Do1 :D

Yep, Telkom was good to me this month. Sort of makes up for 3 weeks at 512kbps last month while Telkom were chasing their tails.

Could have gone further if I didnt restart my router :(
 
Lol, I am not touching my router till the end of the month. Needless to say that the TI tracker is having some major issues with regards to capping accounts (if the amount I have done on my account is anything to go by).

And then I just had to go and upgrade the router firmware!!
 
Just over 6GB on Do3 and still going. Fingers crossed it continues to push on.

something caused my router to reset :mad:

Blended Usage for June 
Uploaded 	1.6304 GB 
Downloaded 	10.2904 GB 
Combined Total 	11.9208 GB

Mitigating factors were 512kbps speed for about a week and trying to download low seeder torrents.

EDIT: It wasn't a router reset but Telkom just being cruel to me
