This month im gonna save a good gig below 7 gigs or so for the last day.Then im gonna klap a torrent and see if i get capped.Cause if i get capped at 7 gigs it must mean thats my average amount im allowed to hit,that would be great ;)

Capped on the 9th on 9.3 Gb. Received this lovely email:

13GB - capped on first account 10 Oct on 384 line. I however dont get any emails from telkom about abuse because I simply didnt sign up for their email notifications.

They're telkom. They can do anything - especially if you abuse them. ;)

What would be of interest, just some random info, the lowest amount of gigs you have been capped at, and the highest amount. If you werent capped, give the amount and (NOt Capped) in brackets.
E.g

Lowest Amount : 11.659GB
Highest Amount: 14.867GB (capped)

Lowest Amount : 4.2GB (capped)
Highest Amount : 18GB (not capped)

Can't remember exactly, but it was something like that, will edit this post and correct it when I the usage tracker works again.

Hmmm does this mean I'm capped?
My adsl still works, I link via my router.
But when i log onto telkom site to check usage, they say my username and pass is invalid~
So if I disocnnect now, I'll be capped right?

Well last usage was 10.3gigs (capped)
