MTN free data, anyone noticed?

Well i really don't think i should be sharing with anyone the paradise i'm in. Well over 2months ago, everytime i exchange my airtime for data, mainly 10mb i realised i get discounted a lot. I use my sony ericsson as a modem on my ubuntu machine.
To explain what i mean about low charges is, last week i had 20mb and 3G was well in range. So as you might know last week was the release of the latest ubuntu os. So i fired up transmission bittorrent and in 4hours i had ubuntu downloaded straight to my pc with MTN free data. When i checked my airtime i was left with 3.2mb. I am not lying i just want someone to please explain if this is really suppose to happen or is it a fault in their system. Mind you the download was 681mb in total plus i browsed some sites before that. If it is indeed their fault, please do keep it secret. It works well in the night, probably because not a lot of people are sleeping by then

Start a business and sell the bandwidth on and advertise that you are undercutting everybody in the industry. :D:D

Hang on that business model has been tried and didn't work out so good. :p
 
"Please keep it a secret"?? Dude, you've just put it out there for the world to read...
 
Right until they figure out there blunder and send you a bill for unbilled data usage, these guys are not afriad to charge the end user, so my advice is dont over do it to much incase it catches up to you!!!!!
 
I would lol if he had to pay R1300 for downloading ubuntu :D
