    Standard 3G per device is 384kbps as far as I'm concerned. Not sure if they vary per device, but skeptic. You can always use higher profiles - HSDPA / HSUPA.

    If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.

    Things to do:
    * DL Linux Netbook Remix
    * DL Snow Leopard Combo update

    This is where I will find a use for the R50 account.

    EDGE's maximum speed is 236kbps, and is common with Blackberries.

    Thanks. But I'm making calculations of the 3 lowest known speed types. I'm aware of 1.8, 2, 3.6, 7.2 and 10, 10.2 (mbps), this is S.A btw, in any case I stated in brackets that EDGE speed vary from device to device. At www.gsmarena.com edge is most times/devices are at 296kbps, some are the 236kbps you noted. Well, one would get an idea of what to atleast expect.

    Hopefully imminent... Something like -
    Vodacom: Uncapped for 1 week at R100. First 3 1/2 days get full handsets speed. Then remaining 3 1/2 days throttle to 128kbps would be a good deal. An option to switch between normal mode and uncapped mode after the first 3 1/2 days would be good.
    This would be a innovative and good deal.

    Hahaha. Can I please have what you're smoking?
    BTW, imminent is quite the wrong word to be using in a hopeful connotation

    You do know what imminent means on this forum, right?

    It appears this offer is still not available (well it's not on 555). According to the MTN website some of these services will only be launched on the 9th of April.
