VM gprs very bad tonight.
GamCo speedtest;

Your current bandwidth reading is:
3.40kbps
which means you can download at 0.43 KB/sec. from our servers.

Yes it was, but for 1 month only. During July 2006 my data transfer rate was 9.0 KB/sec day and night. (24/7)

Downloading at 9 Kb/sec was fruitful for me. :D

Yes. I had a nice run with VM. At one stadium my VM was the only solution that gave me full speeds on GPRS vs VC and MTN. Then the day I got my E220, I was cruising at HSDPA speeds with VM roaming on VC :cool: :D :cool:

Then +-2 days later, that loophole was closed. :eek::mad: :mad:

Now look where we stand today. :speechless:

When VM's speed was 9 Kb/sec, MTN and VC were 3.5 to 4.0 Kb/sec.

Since Monday night, every night up to now Sunday (7 Days), from 20h00 pages takes a long time to open and i just cannot go on like this.
Solution:
Thx to MTN's new prices i will give them R189.00 tomorrow for 500Mb, so that i can start enjoying nighttime browsing again.
