TelkomInternet "Uncapped" Glitch?

[Lightscribe]

How about a 4Mbps Uncapped ADSL account that will run until the end of July for only R399.

Keoma know something about how long this "glitch" is going to last?...

imo, it's to say to the competition, "see? we can play dirty too. only we can do it so much better"

Funny thing is. Im grabbing 90% of my stuff from local anyway.
So, its nice to have all this extra Int. bandwidth but I'm still grabbing most of it from local servers.

Yeah, same with me.

Seems like it, yes.

Where can I sign up for a Telkom 512kbs 1GB account?
http://www.telkomsa.net is completely helpless and they only seem to be interested in promoting their dobroadband offerings. I dont want that, I want an ADSL 1GB account only service ?
Are there any direct links ?
Links wood be appreciated, thanks!

According to TI, I'm capped. Yeah Right!

Has anyone else noticed the % used? Seems like the new increased cap sizes have been implemented and I thought it was only supposed to run from next month onwards?

Mine has always given me the soft cap %.
Example. If I used 3Gb of my 3Gb (4.5Gb softcap) it always said 66.67%

Ah, thought it was new. Never really took notice before to be honest

So it shows you as capped but you are still connected?

Ditto here. The actual email they send out says you've been capped and moved to local, but that's not in fact true.
I'm struggling to decide whether I should download more or not. Don't really want to take the risk of getting a massive bill at the end of the month.

Yeah, that is the question. I know I would be very cautious.

I am gonna keep mine at about 36Gb. That way I can say I just went over my 30Gb local only cap and I will gladly pay the 1.5Gb extra local.

Probably a good idea. This media silence is still most odd.

I have thought about emailing support and asking them what is going on, but I don't want to spoil the fun for everybody else if they are then going to flip the switch.

There's NO way that they don't know about this already. Besides, [email protected](Whatever the support email addy on their site is) doesn't work for some reason - it just bounces.

Strange times, indeed.

people we are not uncapped, telkom has just copied the entire interenet into one of their local servers
