Hi guys, just a quick query regarding usage of my xtra broadband account.

I'm using the Go plan, flat rate, 3gig data cap and unlimited speeds. My first month with the plan.

However, 2 days ago i exceeded my data cap, and yet I haven't noticed my speed slowing down to dial-up rates.
My usage meter ( http://www.imagegalore.com/images/1ja61790.jpg ) shows that I've done 9113 mbs, however right after the end of the red bar (which i assume is my current usage0, the meter ends.

I'm wondering, what happens when my usage gets to the very end of the meter?

Cheers for any help

You got the Go plan, and you used 3 times as much!

Don't expect to hold on to full download speeds for long...

The internet explodes!

Nah technically you should have noticed your speed drop shortly after going over.... but if you managed to do all that in two days then yeah I'm not surprised it didn't cap you as most of the time if you make any changes like plans etc with Telecom it takes two days for the systems to get the info through.

edit: hopefuly you are actually on 'Go' and not 'Go Express', cos the latter doesn't slow you, it charges you at 2cent a meg for every meg after the limit
