Don't get MTN uncapped lite!!!

[PsyCLown]

Hi guys, a friend is not using his mtn uncapped lite as he got ADSL, so he islending it to me for now. I started using it last night at around 9.30 and speds were around 20kb/s on hsdpa (or was it hsupa). This morning at 6.30am speeds were around 60/70kb/s... I'm not sure whether he has used his 3gb yet and my signal strength is good (above 80%).

Just want to know if this is normal? Also how do I find out about the usage, whether he has used the 3gb or not?

Thanks,
Psy

Yip I also saw mine spike to 60-70KB/s, its unusual yes, normally never goes over 40KB/s while throttled, but 70KB's is also a way to slow for the unthrottled speeds which are normally around 700-900 KB/s

Hmm, alright. That's what I thought... I'm more than happy with 70kb/s throttled! :-D

alSo how can I check how much data has been used this month on the sim?

Can't help you there, I use mine for downloads only, so if I start a couple of downloads the 3GB goes fast, I normally finish mine on the same day, and when the speeds drop, thats when I know I've used it up haha

Edit: but I think you phone their data call centre, and just give the sim's number I'll they'll give you the overall usage for the month

Hmm, too much of a mission and since its nor originally mine and in my name - may have issues. I will mainly use it for downloading as well - so should be fine :-)

How can you say they rape the system?..uncaped means exactly that uncaped!!. This happens because SA is so far behind in technology, elswere in the world, even Nigeria is much cheaper and in most cases unlimited...you only pay for speed.

Uncapped is not "download as much as you want". It's so you don't have to worry about a cap. Even the first world are moving in on heavy downloaders and I read somewhere that some ISPs are considering caps again.
