I told my boet that he should be able to go over his cap, so he tried it and got this mail from them:

Yup - that's more ore less what Sos said last time - one should happily be able to go to about 9 Gb without them getting upset ....

Or .. untill they change their bloodie monopolistic minds again.

Sosman actually mentioned 20GB. I am also way over 10Gb this month already...

I'm with Mweb and lost my connection at the 3Gb mark a month or so ago. Haven't tried again, though.

I wish i had the stats of my usage, All i know is i got Season 1 + Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica in HD format this week, I belive the file sizes are 600Mb per episode.

Thats a total of 17 Files (Season 1) and 20 Files (Season 2)
Makes for 22.2GB downloaded, And i guess somewhere in the same regeon uploaded.

My IS has not said anything yet, I think they give you till 60Gb before they complain.

Man it rocks to not be a Telkom Subscriber !!!

AHHH! Where did you get the HD?
