If you want to download movies get ADSL.

Its not blackberry only. I did try both blackberry and internet apn and seems that some days are slow and others are blazing fast.

I downloaded a 50mb file on my blackberry 9720 [for testing] and got like 40kb/s at night. The next day downloading the same file I got 720kb/s download speed on my blackberry.

Put the sim in my iphone and got the same type performance. Slow for a few days and then blazing @ 1.2MB/s download speed. So not sure if its tower or network congestion.

I wonder if Telkom Mobile share international bandwidth with Telkom Internet?

Ohh and btw its hard not to download stuff on your blackberry when the speed you downloading @ is 3 x faster than your adsl connection....... Yeah downloading a 4GB file over BIS with Telkom Mobile is faster than a 4Mbps adsl line. Download speed of 1MB/s over BIS is happening on Telkom Mobile....

I have 8ta and Sim Plonker data packages, before Xmas I could download an 800Mb movie in around 20 mins, now it would take a week, my Internet speed goes up and down like a Whores panties on pay day. Reported on the 14 Jan and heard zip, then I got 4 calls from Telkom last week, the "Technician" pitched on Sat morning 2 hours before his appointment. He told me that most of the surrounding towers were around 98db a pop. I said they have been that way for nearly 2 months. He shrugged his shoulders and said I must wait a week at least. All the maintenance seems to be given out to private subcontractors, as he pitched in a Golf with no markings. Anyone else in Ferndale, Randburg getting the same crappy speeds?

I thought BIS doesn't mean free Internet and downloads anymore?

You get 500mb free with your BIS subscription.

My guess is that it's the difference between EDGE (2.5G) and 3G (e.g. HSDPA).
