Telkom Internet will be extending it’s Free Night Surfer data by an hour from 1 September 2014.

You now get free data from 12am to 7am.
 
Fantastic News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's great news. Would be awesome if they did it from 23:00-07:00

On a 2Mb/s line with a 14% ATM+TCP overhead you can download 5.65GB in 7 hrs best case scenario so lets assume 5GB for schites & giggles which would yield 150GB in a month more or less.

If you schedule your downloads in these hours and don't use much during the day then their capped packages are great value for money which I have said before.

This helps big time with sickbeard getting series in the morning. Should be able to get everything before 7am. 6am was occasionally cutting it a bit close.
 
Anyone knows if this is now official??

I have not received any communication from Telkom.
 
10 GB Night Surfer: Between 11pm – 5am only

So are you sure its not extended from 11pm – 6am?

And it definitely starts at 11pm, I started a big download at 22:30 on Saturday night and only a small bit was taken from normal bundle and 7GB from Night Surfer...

DOH! Ignore what I said, my comment was for TELKOM MOBILE

From last weeks "The nights are getting hotter" email:

Ok, so this is only for Telkom Internet (ADSL) and not Telkom Mobile (3G, HSPA+, LTE).

Got excited for nothing. :mad:

*Thanks for your replies, much appreciated.

Applies to mobile as well (found out the hard way by running out of peak data this month).

No, you have limited data in nightsurfer time. If for instance you have a 10GB bundle you only get 10GB for nightsurfer time.
