does anybody know, on an uncapped line, does your usage get reset every month?

basically i had my line installed on the 19th October, so i have 2 weeks to the new month(Pro Rata). Do i assume, that from the 1st November, that my usage is reset to 0, and i start again?

Thanks

Normally it's a rolling 30 day window, i.e. the last 30 days regardless of what the date is. Otherwise the network will fall down on the 1st.

Depends on the ISP, TI resets on the 1st of the month some others use rolling windows eg: xxGB in 30 days.

everything is with Telkom, line and Data. my line was installed on the 19th, so i have this 2 week pro rata period. So im assuming that from the 1st November, ill start fresh for the 30 days of November.

If it's rolling 30 day window, you'll never start fresh.

thats basically what i just need to know. As my understanding on how they work the uncapped side is a bit confusing, as ther is no data per se, where they reset you to. But if ive used 50GB's based on the stats.saix checker, will that now show 0GB's used from the 1st, if that makes sense

cheers Mick :) i have been laughed at by the guys on MyBB though, as i did ask if im a heavy user. Ive done 16GB's in 10 days, and i got laughed at :D

Lol. I'm guessing you should be using that every 4 days or so to get into any type of throttling zone.

lol, ive been surprised that ive only used that amount, i thought it would have been alot more. Ive been streaming quite a bit(thats all i really do), well apart from the kid maybe downloading a game or 2 off the play store, but ive literally done 1.6GB's a day :D

Ooops, you're right. IIRC they changed the colours, used to be green > orange > RED (***** ... )

so if its now blue, does it still go to Orange and the red? im assuming, red would mean that im being throttled into oblivion? lol

hahahaha, actually a good point Mick... 3 days to end of the month, going to just let it go. BUT, would that count against me going forward, and make me somebody they will monitor more closely?
