Sorry guys but I won't be able to reply to some of your questions this month because my internet has been capped due to me downloading and uploading too much Rules 😞 Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad . I'll be back the moment my connection comes online again. I've got 56k but I don't want to run up the bills.

😞 That's a shame, I know of "capping" but we don't have that here.

The month is only half over, I hope you don't miss anything important, I couldn't exist without my (library) internet.

Agreed.

What ISP do you use? I've never used capped internet, but 56k ISP is very cheap nowadays. I know you can get SBC DSL for about $25 a month now.

YEEE HAAAAAA " I'm back"

Finaly i'm allowed to go on the net again.Anyway many of my fellow South Africans are sueing South African Telkom 😀 😀 😀 😀 because they capp the internet [Other countries don't] and people who just just check the odd email have been capped for uploading to much [how does that happen].

Every month I keep track of how much I download and upload but telkom always seems to capp me cause I've downloaded too much [incorrect info]

Last Month.

I downloaded 2,1 gigs and uploaded 0,5 gigs.

Telkom says I downloaded and uploaded 3,2 gigs.

Over here in the UK there are a few ISP's that caps internet usage and you have to pay for any aditional bandwidth you use. I work for one of the many few decent ISP's that only offer unlimited downloads 😀

You mentioned getting capped for uploading too much whilst just checking emails......it is possible that a worm/trojan virus could of been present which uses your upload to spread amongst fellow surfers. So even though the user is not actually uploading anything, the worm/trojan is. Just something for you to mull over.
