There is no Blackberry Speed test thread under the MTN forum.
It appears that there is no need for such a thread to exist as nearly every comment on MTN BIS seems to be positive especially since MTN doubled capacity to RIM on Wednesday, according to comments there.
So what is the excuse for the really poor performance we have been receiving from the VC BIS?
I must admit that emails comes through quite quickly but on device browsing can be likened to watching paint dry.
I have posted numerous speed tests which indicate fluctuations in performance, mostly poor and many others concurr with their speed tests posted.
How long is this going to take to resolve?
More importantly, what are the options available to us who have subscribed to this service in good faith, only to get this, now becoming notoriously poor service from VC?
Surely this cannot continue, even if the BIS service is reasonably priced for what is purports to provide.
Payment is exacted for the service with _good_ money, we are not crumpling the notes, or throwing in monopoly money or subsituting gutter bolt washers for coins.
So what have we as consumers done to deserve such poor service from VC BIS?
Do we really deserve this?
Oh, this is not isolated incident by any means, disenchantment of new Blackberry 8520 users on VC BIS is unprecendented
The _only_ people who are positive about the BB 8520 are MTN subscribers
This seems to rule out the BB 8520 as a bad device even if it is only GPRS/EDGE capable.
This is actually coming across now as being a rip-off, promising unlimited Internet etc (have you seen the adverts?) but not delivering on the promises :erm:
Quite annoying
