[Wisemansa]

hey,

im busy downloading something, and i need to get as much as possible done this month.

At what time will my download start using next month's cap?is it at 12?
or will it only start using next months cap once i reset my router?

pls help i need help asap........
thanks

once you reset your router... Or the 24hour reset happens. Thing is if you downloading past 12:00 and your router resets and you sleeping, could eat up next months cap...

i just reset my router now, and even though ive used 40gb this month i havent been capped........

so technically next months cap should only start being used tomorrow at 6 in the night(in 24hrs)?

yes...

I would rather put my pc into bridge mode at least then when the "24hour" reset happens you will be disconnected and not take a nice bite out of next months cap...

Otherwise you never know when your router has reset the connection

how do i do that?

If you download 1GB in a session over 30th and 1st 500MB belongs to 30th and 500MB to 1st, thats how SAIX does their billing atleast.

Best you cut your downloads at 11:55. It mentions all this on www.saix.co.za Usage Tracker - FAQ section

my reset happens at around 10 and even with my router not in bridge mode it disconnects.....

Only started happening after I went the dual core route....

Which ISP and what type of account if I may ask?

If you are using WA then they have updates that occur without resets.

Ok, I am not going to create a new thread for this, but for some or other reason, even if I download like mad on a TelkomInternet during the first few days of the month, the usage reports still say 0 GB during those first few days. At soem or other random point (it seems) they start counting. I don't understand it. does it happen to anyone else?

TelkomTracker is messed, if SAIX tracker isnt tracking that would be BIG news.

SAIX tracker always shows zero for my telkomsa account. telkomsa shows traffic.
