data usage policy on RAIN

Think its perfectly fine that they block VPN's as they allow people to get around the limitations they put on this great cheap uncapped product. People always want to abuse everything in SA, hence why unlimited just doesnt come by that much these days here vs the USA etc

so back in 2006 someone was watching tv while mobile.

but hey, we have bona fide mobile use experts here.

careful now, you better use the internet the way they do. if youre lucky, they might even tell you how to live your life and how much media to watch. so exciting.

VPN on bona fide mobile device (whatever that might mean) is a bona fide mobile use... Just search for VPN in the app store relevant to your bona fide mobile device

30GB per day is 10 hours per day. Anybody watching that amount of telly seriously needs to reconsider their life choices

Edit: back on topic, I doubt this scenario could be classified as "bona fide mobile use"

It's still a realistic scenario. So now you're not only the decider of "bona fide mobile use" but also the life choice police?

If you want to cry then go get Vodacom or MTN prepaid data, they are giving a service at their terms and also to stop people abusing it. If you really need to vpn go to another network that supports it. Simple reason why we can’t have nice things in South Africa as everyone tries to screw the system because they cool.

You are talking rubbish. VPN is for privacy, both fixed and mobile. It's not to circumvent any restriction as there are no restrictions to circumvent. Usage is still being billed in the same way.
