Hey guys,

I hijacked another thread but unfortunately it is not getting any answers so I thought I'd try here.

This is what I asked :

I was just thinking something now....

I have a Telkom 2Gb All Access account and a Nashua 1Gb contract including the 384k ADSL line rental. Now my usual set up is to use the Telkom account at the beginning of the month until the 2Gb (which is actually 3-something Gb) is used up. I then start up RouteSentry and use the Telkom for my local, the 20Gbs included, and the Nashua for my international. Any international shortfalls in the month are made up with Axxess prepaid which can last a year before it expires (yeah right! )

Now this thread got me thinking and it may help the OP but I am wasting some local download time while using those original 2Gbs. So would it be possible to buy a second TelkomInternet AllAccess 1Gb account and then smoke that 1Gb straight away and then use that 10Gb free local on RouteSentry while switching to my 2Gb AllAccess for the international until that is used up and then switch to Nashua?

My logic for this is that 10Gb local from OpenWeb costs R69 but I can get that from Telkom with 1Gb international to play with for R79....

A bit complicated sounding but I am sure someone will follow! Basically it means no longer waiting to slowly use the 2Gb until i start smoking my downloads!

Related to this does the 1Gb allow you to go over like the 2Gb or does it cut you off at 1Gb?

So any feedback or ideas? Will Telkom allow me to have a 2Gb AllAccess account and a 1Gb AllAccess account with them? And will I be able to use both on RouteSentry at the same time?

I know these answers should all be yes but you never know with Telkom! :)
 
Damn, the quality of this forum is on a steep slide... must be all these competitions that are resulting in more spammers and less useful posters.

A respectable ADSL query, the self same topic that spawned this forum and still has pride of place in it's name, like my one above gets bumped off the new posts list so quick that not even one response is forthcoming. It really is worrying.... someone's last cr_p or latest bitch about an advert gets more attention than broadband related query...

Anyway, that's me done with my rant and my bump in an attempt to try and find at least some intelligent life out there on this forum that could provide assistance.... ;)
 
I used to have a 2GB and 3GB telkom account and used them simultaneously with Routesentry. As long as you're willing to pay, Telkom doesn't mind :)

Cool thanks for the response orin!! :)

Did that mean you had two separate accounts with Telkom? Or two logins on the same account? The reason I ask this is when I look on their website it does not seem to offer an option to add a second login/username to your existing account but only options to apply for a second account.

With axxess I have one account but two usernames and can log in with either.
