Disk overages


If you’re like the majority of South africans with broadband Internet access, you’re living under a data cap. Hopefully, your provider gives you a way to measure it with some kind of meter, such as the one shown above. 


It’s from my Coretwo ADSL account, and even though it includes the notation that “enforcement of the 250GB data consumption threshold is currently suspended”, the meter continues to keep watch on how much data I use.

But apparently, your meter may not be giving you information that’s trustworthy. GigaOM reports that many broadband meters are inaccurate, which means you could cruise past a data cap without knowing it. You could face overage charges or, depending on your ISP’s policies, suspension of your account.

With Coretwo Networks ADSL you however wont have to worry about this because there is no overages charged on ADSL.

Coretwo Networks provides  Home-capped ADSL Internet  as well as Home-Uncapped ADSL Internet that is fordable and you never have to worry about calling them all the time as they have the most stable fiber backbone behind them as well as many settelite redundancies
