I haven't read anywhere that they cap downloads but from past experience they do throttle when you supposedly abuse bis.

Biz is meant for email and browsing.
They throttle your net after x amount of data.

U need to firstly download a specific browser like UCBrowser or Opera Mini, it will speed up downloads and it hardly ever fails when downloading something. I make use of UCBrowser and I download a few series like a few times a week.

So two problems here - 1: you still using Mtn and 2: you still using blackberry? Eish....

Using we and us makes me think of this:
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile

I have noticed something very very sneak from MTN and the full BIS R59 option.

In the setting under service books they have deleted the bis apn for downloads and pushed their own own service book that has the mymtn apn on it.

VERY VERY sneaky. So you browse free but when you download it charges you.
