Webafrica 30gig local

It's not capped by WA, it's capped by IS. Generally I get around 32-40GB, regardless of which ISP.

im not 100% sure this is true.. Btw..
Last month i was on a diff openweb account that i had been on for ages.. never ever used to get capped. Could get 100+gigs on it.. Then this month i forgot to fax proof of payment, so they sent me new details when they recieved proof of payment.. And on those new account details i get capped @ 38gigs.. Its madness.. Never once was my 30gig local account capped..

Should have faxed your proof of payment! :p Seems like you were lucky on that account. AFAIK IS handles the capping, not the ISP.

If they charged per gig as SAIX does, then WA would most probably control the capping.

Hi everyone,

Yup, basically everything indicated here is the situation. On the SAIX side of things we have greater control in how we can cap users, which means that we handle the actual capping/disabling of accounts (and so on and so forth), while on the IS side the capping is handled by IS themselves and not us (we merely indicate what kind of account a specific user is using, not whether they are capped or not). As we do not handle capping ourselves we are charged on a "per account" basis, not a per GB basis, and as such any over usage doesn't get charged to us.

IS's capping policy at this time is lenient and they do not appear to hard cap accounts when they exceed their 30GB threshold (though this can always change, at the moment that is not the case). This is the same as with every other ISP reselling IS accounts in general (it's not only limited to the local only ones).

He asked, we answered. What's with the sigh? :confused:

How you use your data is up to you, but there's no need to infer ways in which others use theirs ;)
