Question of the Day: What is your non-negotiable item, device, or app for international travel?
Seems almost impossible for Mtn to have correct information in all their stores. Given issues raised about billing and troublesome helpdesk, one can only pray you should get their good packages and never have issues of any nature

At my speeds 600GB is possible.
What speeds are you getting and what area you based at? I'm getting at max 130BK/s and even then it does not happen often...

Awesome! and thank you! Those are some nice speeds!

MTN UNcapped lite - A Limpopo platteland user's (first) impressions
Hi all,
In case anybody has ever wondered about the value of the MTN Uncapped Lite @ R289pm, it is incredible value ! Especially for me living in rural (platteland) Limpopo, Ellisras, and also because I live way out of reach of ADSL. For me as rural user the MTN Uncapped lite is MUCH better value than ADSL. Here in the platteland we have a severe shortage of bandwidth, we are 300km from Pretoria. It was ahuge surprise for me to find that I had so much speed and low ping for such a low price.
I've had the Huawei E367 now for just over a month and I've not experienced any disappointment concerning the cap and download speed. I haven't yet noticed much of a difference between office and after hours download speed. I also have a wireless releayd ADSL. Over the last 3,5 weeks I've consumed more than 25Gb on 3G wireless ! For the first time since leaving the UK 2 years ago I am able to watch Youtube without first waiting for a video to buffer. My Steam downloads run at average of 385k p/sec
I am a 'high use' user, easily using 130Gb per month. That is very easy thanks to Youtube and 12Gb game downloads p/week from Steam.
Compare platteland, Ellisras, ADSL vs MTN Uncapped Lite:
ADSL Speed: Full quoted speed on Sundays and Mondays between 02H00-05H00, office hours I rarely get more than 80k p/sec on a 4mb line.
MTN Uncapped Lite: whoooosh ! No less than 120k p/sec. Depending on server('s geo location) I download from can be up to 510k p/sec in business hours. On a recent visit to JHB international Airport speedtest.net presented me with 8,5mb/2,1mb down/up speed !
Coverage: MTN Uncapped seriously lack Vodacom's coverage. People in the major centers rarely experience slow/unresponsive internet, or the dreaded EDGE. You are where all the infrastructure investment happens. It's totally another situation for us here in the outback. If reliability and coverage is more important to you, here in my platteland no one beats Vodacom. If you want speed and true broadband, then get MTN's Uncapped.
Please note: Different (local) speedtest.net servers yields different results. Some yields faster results than others.
