Anticipating ic's take on this whole 4me issue, we need to look at why you have to start watching 4me closely at month-end.
The primary reason is that you don't want to loose unused data or go into out-of-bundle pricing.
So there is another solution, not technical at all. Let me see what can be done....
Back to 4me and the billing engines; the back-end systems are massive engines doing ka-zillions of transactions per second. These engines have been fine-tuned over years, so we're not going to easily see any changes here. So at best the latency is going to stay at 3 hours.
The current problem is that the latency is much more than 3 hours, 5 days for some of you. This is not on and must be fixed.

wallace, you have a p.m. explaining the reason why I have just deleted your post, which is that you are personally attacking v3g who is the messenger and did not personally develop the systems you are questioning, you are welcome to re-post as long as you make a clear distinction between v3g the person, and Vodacom the company that you have a problem with.

I am sorry (not really!) to drag another old skeleton from the cupboard, flog a dead horse and so on, but...
This whole conversation would not even take place if we could roll over the unused data that we have paid for. Intrinsically dysfunctional policies will always lead to dysfunctional behaviour.

Thanks V3G.
Vodacom4me has been updated till 27 September 9:30 AM.
Now I must just buy more data as it shows I have only 70 MB left
and have down loaded 200 Mb since. Another 500 Mb should do.

Have Norton's on office pcand AVG Free on home pc
Didn't try netlimiter on home pc. What is your opinion on AVG? What do you use / recommend?
I do use AVG Free for Windoze as well as some anti-malware s/w, but that's not on my desktop PC - I use Gentoo Linux on my desktop PC which keeps the nasties at bay...
