1.9 petabytes..... woooow.

Imagine the money they will be making now because it will be charged.

Assume the other 30 day WhatsApp bundle is still R30?

 

[Randux]

No more Twitter for me that for sure. I'm suprised MTN kept it for this long. I'm definitely not going to pay for it.

Imagine how many poorer people won't realise MTN have stopped the free twitter until their data is depleted.

I was going to say black twitter is going to go crazy. They probably going to stop using memes now.

Ohh yeah and it's trending at #1....

MTN needs money to send to a Nigerian prince so he can claim his inheritance before giving them some.

Dojt be to happy yet, Maybe EFF/BLF/ANC will get it back by using tax money subsidies.

Indeed. Before the 500mb limit there was no limit and pictures and videos could be uploaded and watched for free. Then came the 500mb limit and now it got canned. I'm not surprised they canned it even after the 500mb limit per user MTN still pushed 1.9 Petabytes of data. That is just a crazy amount of data and I reckon MTN said they need to cut it because of the massive usage.

1.9 PB is like 4 times more than South Africas total steam downloads a month and all that zero rated.

I agree, seeing Twitter is pretty pointless.

MTN first needs to sort out the 8.2 billion the Nigerian govt. claims it owes them before they start worrying about some Nigerian Prince.
