    iirc Vodacom have actually upgraded the capacity of the pipe to RIM a good few times.

    I do not know the plans of Vodacom with any future upgrade plans though. This is for Jannie and VodacomData to know.
    Now why you loer en kyk gelyk?
    Is ek miskien van goud gemake?

    Cos Vodacom sucks ! ! !
    Cos Vodacom screws/cheats/lies to its subscribers. . .

    Remember R59,00 gets you 100mb of data per month = Vodacom's BIS data cap.

    So even if capacity is increased 100 fold, your BIS service will remain crap after you've used 100mb of data on your Blackberry.

    Free yourself from crappy service and dishonest data caps - "Uninstall" Vodacom !

    Where do you get the 100MB cap story from?

    If they want to cheat me for R59,00 every month I will hit the "Delete Vodacom" button.
    I've had enough of their crap, so I'll say goodbye to Vodacom at the end of this month.

    I refuse to pay R59,00 a month for a 100MB data cap.

    What 100MB cap? There is no such thing.

    When a man pays for a can of Coke and only receives a teaspoon of Coke = Vodacom's 100MB monthly BIS data cap !

    ...and then? You didn't finish your sentence.

    Still you are on about the 100MB cap that doesn't exist. Besides, your analogy is incorrect, BIS doesn't have a cap so it's not like buying a 330ml can of Coke which has a finite capacity, it's more like buying a watered-down "bottomless" Coke.

    Watered down? More like buying a coke with no syrup, no sugar, no caffeine
    So basically false advertising

    A "bottomless" Coke from any chain is pretty much the same, sure the quality may vary between individual restaurants and from time to time, but it is never The Real Thing™.

    Wasn't vodacom initially planning to introduce a 100MB cap with the whole abusive user thing? Then they just abandoned that because it is unfair

    Here in lies the truth - well said. When the networks including Vodacom started allowing the "internet.apn" on a BB SIM, this was the start of the downhill road and overcrowding the cause of the slower speeds. Remember networks create their T&C around business products to maximise their shareholder profits all designed by the "bean counters and accturies" to protect the their franchises for Vodacom they use Mr Soffer. Lastly when your network bleats "Sustainability" that means that the person bleating is actually stating his network cannot "Sustain" dropping their prices.

    I find your comments/attitude rude and obnoxious.
    You certainly are a Mr. Know-It-All.
    Your analogy sucks, just like Vodacom's BIS !!!

    Does not change the fact that there is NO (NONE, ZILCH, F*ALL) 100MB cap on BIS.

    BTW, your ranting aside, the networking guys are still trying to see what's causing your poor response on BIS. All our links to RIM are running at less than 100% utilisation so something upstream is doing this, i.e. outside of Vodacom.

    And before you ask why only Vodacom, our pipes are substantially bigger than anyones else's and I suspect someone up north is not able to accomodate them. Will give feedback when I get same.
