Mtn uncapped lite throttle speed

There was a change made, it's been rolled back as it wasn't working properly, that was done sometime Monday. I've had to be quiet about this matter, sorry guys...

Hi, is anyone else still on the mtn uncapped lite contract? Mtn throttles the line speed to 384kbps after 3gb fair use, which was still managable for general webbrowsing and slower dowloads, but it appears as if the throttle speed has been reduced to about 64 or 72kbps - which makes even normal webbrowsing a challenge. This happened from the 5th of Oct 2017. Did anyone else notice this change?

Have you tried using a VPN to get around the throttling??

Thanks for the feedback Voldemort. Could you please just clarify the following:

A change was made, and it has been rolled back as it wasn't working properly. I assume the reduction in speed that we experienced was caused by the change that was made. Was the purpose of this change to reduce the speed, or was the speed reduced because the change wasn't working properly. So really, how does this bode for the future? Can we expect a permanent reduction of the capped speeds any time in the near future?

Hi Lourens

What was happening was that the system wasn't configured properly to start off with- for example you could have 4 connections running and receive say 256kb/s on each application simultaneously- what the update did was limit this to 256kb/s in total.
The future doesn't bode well for this package, it was discontinued a long time ago and will probably be phased out...
