Was Capped : What now?

The only reason people are staying with TelkomInternet is because you can go over your usage limit, they remove their "relaxed capping" everyone jumps ship to a cheaper ISP.

Face it R249 gets you ~ 5GB from another ISP.

this is a extract from telkoms emails " As you have reached your service threshold on your combined total usage, we suggest that you reduce your high volume usage to remain online and unaffected.


You will be allowed access until such time that the overall service reaches the aggregated threshold on the total service.


Should you elect to ignore this reminder your service could be subject to restrictions, at which point your access to our network will be denied."

And I managed to continue using it after I got capped.

If you could still use it you were not capped:)
 
So if i was with Mweb and i went over thier 1gig cap, would they cut me off too ?
 
MWeb would cut you off if you exceed the cap yes
 
I dont have ADSL yet (Tried filling in telkom's online form and it doest work!!!) but i`ll still have to sit with mweb because of the whole email address story. But i`ll add either an openweb or webafrica account to my package once i`m up and running. These caps seem to be a major pain. What the hell are we going to do when 2010 comes along.... cut the broadcast of the game halfway caus they just went over thier limit !!!:D
 
Sorry for bringing this thread up again. But recently I realised I play far too much online games for my cap to hold an entire month. I am at 2.5gigs after 10 days (3 gig cap). Now I can basically do nothing for the rest of the month.

Will WebAfrica be a solution? I'm not sure how WebAfrica works though, do you keep your Telkom 3gigs and then buy additional gigs from WebAfrica? And what do they charge? Thanks.

A lot of people seem to be using telkominternet and keep a wa prepaid account to still have access if telkom caps them. wa charge R70/gig but any portion not used gets carried forward.
