Will they block me from overuse?

[Fireprufe15]

I'm with WebAfrica on a 1mbps Uncapped account, and I average about 50 gigs a month. I'm worried because I'm regularly over my rolling window limit, and even though the throttling doesn't bother me in the least, I'm worried they might suspend my account for using it to much. What would be the upper limit before they warn me for abusing the account?

No. 50 is nothing on a 1Mb account. Probably around 150 for a gentle rebuke....

I dont get why they would terminate you for "overusing" an uncapped package. Isnt the point of uncapped to use as much data as possible?

No the point is not to use as much as possible.....

No, the point is to use as much data as you need. Not as much data as possible.

Mind you, I've just noticed they changed their throttling policy like somewhere this week, because I remember it being the old way a week ago. Now they will only ever throttle me if I use more than 14gb in a 7 rolling window, up from the 11gb. And they've completely removed the 6 hour rolling windows. Also, on a 4 meg account they only throttle you if you use more than 74 gb in a seven day rolling window. That's AMAZING throttling policy if you ask me.

No. It's to make life easier.

You sir are the reason ISP's need to shape and throttle uncapped users.

You are with WebAfrica, what does Telkom have to do with it?
