We have 1 national supplier for fixed line internet access in South Africa, it's a 39% government owned Monopoly called Telkom. Although things are getting better this is our only option for now.
This is from their website:
"Does DSL give me a fixed IP address?"
"No, at each login a new dynamic IP address will be assigned to you. Your DSL connection will be reset 24 hours after the last login and a 60 min idle timeout has been implemented."
And the way that they implement uncapped/ capped connection is by separating them in to IP address blocks. So your DSL connection is forcefully disconnected every 24 hours, when you reconnect you get a new IP address and dependent on your usage limit you'll be capped or uncapped. (When you're capped you don't receive any data).
I hope that helps to clear up your statement about our bandwidth limits not been enforced daily.
