At present what exactly happens when you reach your telkom monthly cap?

You are basically stuffed: only access to a few services - Telkom, Internet Banking, e-Mail
Depends on your ISP.
AFAIK TelkomInternet 3GB accounts allow usage up to 6GB {So 3GB more than what you should, not 6GB on top of your 3GB limit!}, some other ISP's apparently only cap at the end of a day IE if you reach the limit in the daytime, you can keep on browsing/downloading until that night. I have no experience in being capped, so I can't really say though
If you are on a DoBraodband package, I've heard that on the 1GB Do package, you are hard capped IE no browsing/downloading after cap; but for the 2GB and 3GB packages, you can go over the cap, although I am unsure by how much.
EDIT: And of course others simply cap you ASAP after you have reached your cap
