    Aah, the old uncapped until we decide to throttle you to really ridiculous speeds trick... nope nope nope, do not want.

    That throttle though.
    If it was throttled to 1mbps it would actually be fine with me.
    Sub 1mbps in this day and age = basically no internet outside IMs.

    I looked at this on my broadband the day it came about, and its really not a bad deal... the major draw back for me is anything with 3G/LTE data that wants you to sign a 2 year contract... R599 is a ridiculously good price for 50gigs of LTE data...

    50GB threshold, with affected protocols throttled to 128kbps thereafter.
    Go home Telkom, you're drunk!

    Yeah, the 2 year contract is putting me off as well. Any idea what time the sale starts on the 10th? If I can get it at the cheaper price, I might just do it though since our estate seems to drag their feet with getting fiber.

    No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.

    but first throttle yourself to 128kbps
