Uncapped again in 90 minutes

Gosh its going to be nice having a 1 meg connection again. 64K is getting kind of tiresome. This time I'm going to try make my 3 gigs last longer than 3 days at least. I refuse to buy more bandwidth at the current prices. When its about the same as overseas I'll consider it.

yeah, I just suddenly had all my dc++ connections die, IRC downloads of 12 - 16KB each drop to 1KB, evidently used up my extra b/w.
Getting more than a little gatvol of being bled dry to get a half day here and there of normal speeds, by having to buy extra b/w at ripoff prices - or sit chugging along slightly faster than dialup users..

My connection also dropped again:

23:24:13 smoothwall PPP has gone down on ppp0
...
23:51:55 smoothwall PPP has gone down on ppp0

methinks WBS don't want me to be able to use my remaining bandwidth......how I wish WBS would come to their senses & allow bandwidth to rollover to the next month...it would improve network stability by reducing peaks of high contention around month-end & month-beginning...

Time for WBS to wake up & smell the fact that I aint never gonna purchase extra bandwidth from them at the prices they are charging...never!!!

I was pretty damn sure I had around 400-500megs left, at least - which I'd paid extra for. I phoned the w*nker at help desk, says nothings wrong - he checks with Sam, who allegedly says 'everything's fine' and that I'm throttled.
Bye bye the remaining bandwidth I'd bought.
We've been here before, with Sentech discussions - the only way to 'fix' the problem, is to deprive them of our cash. Long as we're paying up each month, they have no reason to change anything, regardless of the grumbling.
The scum known as Sassan 'Urine Drinker' Parvin, and Uncle Tom Mtshali don't give a damn. So my days with IBurst are numbered. F*ckem.

Haha i will make sure mine will last for 3 weeks because the 64K sucks big time....

I'm sorry, but I have to requote this. It caused me to snort/chortle/spew a perfectly good swig of Windhoek draught through my nostrils. It hurts...

My last 100 MB automagically disappeared last week, spend a week of absolute hell on severely throttled (dis)connection...
At least this looks better:
# Estimated line speed: 998.5 (kilobits/second)
# Estimated line speed: 122.4 (kiloBytes/second)
