Most of the increased bandwidth usage seems to have consumed international traffic and so that international portion of UCT's bandwidth allocation is finally pegged against the limit of 26 Mbps.
Which is interesting.
Because it means that until now, the international traffic has been crowded out by national traffic. Much of which will be to the Akamai cluster at IS, and the upcoming Google Global Caches (GGCs) and local servers.
So more international bandwidth isn't going to help unless the actual "last-mile" to UCT is drastically improved.

Looks like the temporary increase is going to become more permanent. See order 269 on http://protea.tenet.ac.za/tenpin/orders.htm
BTW, the SANReN planning link on http://www.tenet.ac.za/ might be of interest.
