Anybody seeing throttling on this deal, I got my BF sim in a B300 router and I am getting really crap signal fluctuations?

Throttling doesn't happen at the signal transmission stage, you probably just have rubbish signal or live in an area that negatively affects the signal, mist/rain/valleys/redneck next door doing illicit radio broadcasts.

My speeds have stayed consistent at 35mbit/s Lte

Have reported signal 3 weeks ago, still no response

I have been getting excellent speeds - but it really depends on the time of day. When the network is loaded with users like at around 5.00pm - 9.00pm, my speeds are around 10 Mbps - which is still quite acceptable, I'm happy with that speed. Rest of the day it can be anywhere from 30 Mbps - 60 Mbps

So, either your tower is overloaded, or you have a weak signal, or your device does not work on the MTN LTE bands or UMTS bands

How long do I have to get this new 50Gig deal? Or is it only for today?

Nah, surely they will have a Valentines deal in due course.

Since the deal is in the magazine, it is valid (while stocks lasts) for the month of Feb, so no Valentines day deal.

Apply today by the call center, that will give you more time to get the documents ready, you apply and then they wait for your to send the docs via email.

My port took a mont(via the mtn store which wasted my time),which never worked and I then ended up buying 3 starter packs and did my own port.That took a day and on the 18th of jan,I got moved to the right package and after that **** happened (nothing at all)sorry for typing like this I am actually frustrated to my core...and Cba!
