rofl@ pupa.. poor guy... um, got a question. Do you know you capped after 24 hour reset? I presume I was capped at 00:00, but I stil had till 16:00 cause thats when I dialled the previous day. That means the 2GB I downloaded was basically while I was capped.... correct?

Telkom cant go at 13:24 you are now capped.. it happens at midnight right, then only comes into affect when you try dial again?

No, they can cap you at any minute. I've got experience. I have 3 telkom accounts and it happens at any time. You sit and browse and next moment you're capped

If telkom is resetting every 24 hours soon you should contact ICASA.

kk, just strange that I was online, downloading and all, I was looking at my connection timer, hit 24hr 00 Hours 00 Minutes 05 Seconds, and got cut (24 hour reset), then trying to redial it just says Invalid Username/Password.

i believe how it works is it doesnt register ur current session until you disconnect. so if you disconnect at 2.99GB and reconnect u can still download 4GB and only get capped when u disconnect in 24hrs :p

I used 3.1 GIGs yesterday in 2 hours and 25 minutes so I guess if I was with Telkom I would have been capped already :D

9.3GB and have been capped. No local access either. Isn't local supposed to be uncapped according to the new regulations?

Send your complaint to telkom with a copy cc'ed to consumer@icasa.org.za - ICASA came up with the regulations so its up to them to enforce them.

Flood them with complaints.
