MTN Uncapped Lite for R299

Hey Guys, I am getting BAD speeds since Saturday.. Like 1-5kb/s. Do you guys experience the same?
 
Where you from Dirk? Bellville area was fine over the weekend, worked the whole of the weekend so was staring at my screen most of the time, speed was fine.

Hi, Stilfontein/Klerksdorp region. But it makes sense. We in the NW always gets the bad end of everything. Lol
 
Hey ppl. Can you add the uncapped lite package as a prepaid option. Or is it only available as n 24 month contract?

Contract only, if it was available on pre paid as well, most people would not be using this service for more than 2-3 months(As soon as they realize just how bad the throttled speeds can get 1-2KB/s)...Contracts ugh, how else do you think the bastard make their money:D

True... Thanks for the reply m8. :D
 
Any updates on the MTN Lite speeds? Does anyone know when MTN switches to 4G? :)
 
Hey guys.... Do any of you know whats going on with the network? Yesterdag afternoon I suddenly only recieve edge. And was on 3g the whole time. Now my connection is up to. ......
 
ok, I'm at 4,2gig, have not been throttled yet:confused: Is that normal? Not complaining:D
 
Im wondering if i should get this? How is the downloading once you have been throttled? Is it a good alternative (from me being able to get uncapped as i live on a plot) to download movies/series or play online games?

Not that great for downloading...perfectly fine for browsing
 
I ask about the throttling...I work on Internet 24/7...legal stuff, cases...loads of PDF files etc. and I do hope the browsing's good enough to work though..after throttling

Mine was also that way in the beginning, just you wait;) And yes its very good, most days I recieve about a 10th of the speed when throttled

Edit: And if you complain about it on hello peter they reply, "You have gone over your 3gb, your speeds has been set to 0kbs - 256kbs"
