MTN Uncapped Lite for R299

[Sparhawk]

Hi Guys,

After moving to a new location with shocking ADSL, I am tempted at looking at a 3G device. I am not a heavy downloader [ read Pirate...arrrrr], my habits are internet surfing, driver downloads and maybe some online gaming now and then. Primarily the unit will be for my wife for her online courses etc.

What is the MTN uncapped lite like. What sort of speeds are expected on the network, what sort of latency is experienced to local servers and international ones. I expect this is not good enough to play World of Warcraft on for instance. But maybe some Battlefield Bad Company 2 on SAIX servers perhaps?

Your feedback will be appreciated.

I know they have a fair usage story of 3Gb once you reach that they throttle you to 128kbps

i was at the mtn store enquiring about this deal

and aked the guy about speeds and he said you would get 3g hsdpa which would be +- 3.6mb for the 1st 3gigs and they throttle you to 1mb after that

Throttle to 1mb, thought it was the ridiculous 128 kbps (thats kilo bits and not kilo bytes = 1 mega bits ps)

I got this package when my Vodacom package expired. I couldn't go the 8ta route since there is not coverage in my area. I'm happy so far since I don't need to do big downloads at home. Just need to test it with some COD BO/MW to get a feel for the latencies. Otherwise, very happy. I went for the Huawei B660 router and it works great.

8ta aint cover my area ( and I aint in the bush ). MTN uncapped relaunched as unshaped unthrottled promo - No stock - What a load.

I would be just on the edge of the coverage zone with 8ta

I use the mtn #g for everyday use and i'm happy with it just don't go on a crazy download session..

Hello I'm new to MTN uncapped I'm planning to get it for my downloads and ps3. °? have the 8ta 10GIG and that does not last me a half a month and M???? download speed is 10MBps and upload is 4MBps and °? just need uncapped. The 128Kbps THROTTLE has changed to 1MB or lower and that's FIN to me and the price is R299 that's fine so can anyone give me advice to get MTN uncapped?

The 128Kbps THROTTLE has changed to 1MB or lower ...

Since when has the 128k throttle been lifted to 1Mb ? Where did you read that the thottle got lifted to 1Mb ? I've been on uncapped lite now for almost 18 months now. If ttrue that throttle was lifted to 1mB then the Uncapped Lite is even more of a bargain.

I'd say you're much better off with 8.ta, if you have coverage.

anything is much better when you have good coverage =/

Yes I was looking at their 10GIG for R199 bundle, Seems decent value for money. This however does not include a modem, what do they go for?
