MTN Uncapped Lite

[MaddieX]

That is really bad!!! How long do you still have before your contract expires?

Watse Spoed?

The past month my Speedtest.net result show download of about 0.15mbps and 0.10mbps upload. Ping over 2000ms when there is just the speedtest browser open. For about a year it was bearable but now I am fed up. Been waiting a week now for them to come back to me regarding a ticket i opened.

Just go myself out of the crappy 8ta on my ipad now this! *pulling out the last remaining strands of hair*

It is in my GFs name as I used to have Uncapped adsl (average 650gb per month haha oops) but now that I have moved there is no lines. I think she is a year in with her contract now.

That's amazing! What type of broadband are you getting? ADSL?

LOL, had ADSL. Telkom messed up my account and it took literally months to sort out with the help of a colleagues husband who works at Telkom. So ADSL is unfortunately not in my future.

Tried wireless internet but I am not within line of site of company's towers who are willing to treat me like a customer (airtelecom). The other wireless provider (iclix) treats me like I am being done a massive favour and am not a paying customer.

So no internet thus far LOL

When my contract expires I will suffer from internetlessness Unless something else pops up.
Why did MTN cancel the uncapped? I am one of the lucky ones who always gets a few Mb/s during the cap and >= 256Kbp/s after the cap.

I had 4mbps MWEB uncapped and I was the happiest camper ever.

I'm also one of the lucky ones who had very little to no problems so far with Uncapped Lite. Also very sad that MTN put an end to it. I've got a little over a year left with this contract and if MTN or someone else doesn't offer something similiar I'll have to make another plan. Hopefully I can go the ADSL route but I understand it's a bit of a nightmare to get.

I can just imagine. Must be awesome to have that.

What kind of money are we talking?

 

[SwaarMetaal]

More, more! Hoe is julle mense se spoed deesdae?

Ek kan glad nie kla nie.

My eerste 3GB in nogsteeds BAIE vinnig en daarna het 'n 'n konstante en heel stabiele 256Kbps.

Dis regtig hartseer dat MTN nie hierdie kontrakte meer aanbied nie!!!

Mine was about 6 months back (cancelled it before I went to experience 150mbps in the US haha) and I paid R899 incl line rental.

I see prices are at around R700 now. Won't get a 4mbps line again as I don't game and download that much anymore and for Hulu and Netflix everyone says a 2mbps line is sufficient.

My friend from Ireland keeps sending me speedtest screenshot of his 150mbps download, 100mbps upload fibre optic line URG!!!!

Selfs die eerste 3GB is crazy stadig. Die MTN connection manager wys so 260kbps download en 65kbps upload maar as ek 2 min moet wag vir google om oop te maak twyfel ek sterk. Speedtest gee so 0.15Mbps down en 0.10mbp up. Eks baie baie negatief

I have a question (which I also posted on my thread that has the exact same name), do any of you reckon that the fact that I stay on the second story of a three story building will cause my speeds to be that low? I get the mentioned speeds with the modem on an extension hanging out the window as otherwise it is even worse.

 

[MaddieX]

Ai, ek voel julle pyn en ja, ek weet ook nie wat ek gaan doen as my kontrak eindig nie. I live on a farm so, adsl is out of the question, so yes, maybe something else will pop up in the mean time. I hope so, at least. Looks like the capped speeds are back at 500-700kbps? Swaarmetaal, het jou spoed nie ook bietjie gestyg die laaste paar dae nie?

'Please note that it can take minimum 10 working days for our co-ordinators to get back to you on the ticket'

WHAT THE *^(*&^ ARE THEY DOING EVERY OTHER DAY?!

Maddie, nee lyk my nie ek's so gelukkig soos jy nie... Hier's 'n spoedtoets wat ek nou net gedoen het:

Test conducted on 6/26/2013 11:21:48 AM

Download Speed: 237 kbps (29.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 202 kbps (25.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 321 ms

Hierdie spoed kry ek konstant na my 3GB klaar is en so gaan dit sedert Januarie.

Sorry but I have absolutely no idea if that might have an impact. It will most probably not solve your problem but give MTN a call and ask them. It really does seem, with this contract, that you have to be in the right spot. I use mine extensively at home and work, both in Pretoria East about 5km from one another, and it works perfectly. On my throttled speed I surf the net without any hick-ups. At work, I'm on the second floor of a 5 floor building and I have no problems.

Oh, I take it that you have contacted MTN... Just ignore that part then on my previous post!

Ek het ja maar hulle is maar nogsteeds pateties. Verstaan nie hoekom dit hulle so lank kan vat nie!

Anyway nou wag ek en connection raak daagliks net stadiger lyk dit my.

 

[MaddieX]

Ok toemaar julle, dit was seker net 'n oomblik, terug na my normale spoed! Eish! Ek sou gedink het MTN sou ons darem "compensate" met bietjie meer spoed aangesien die 3g unlimited nou van die mark af is. Seker nie! Ai, daar raak ek nou verniet bly!
Agent47 hoop jy kry gou terugvoering. Wat ek gewoonlik doen is bel die persoon by wie ek die kontrak uitgeneem het.

Hi all. Stroke of luck i guess for me. I am on this package and in the last 4 days I have downloaded over 100gb at speeds of up to 500 kbps. This is the first time since Ive gotten it that the speeds have been remotely so fast and that I have downloaded so much, normally I get 30gb, if i leave my pc on the entire month

So for some odd reason I did not get capped this month MTN U rock

 

[MaddieX]

Lucky you!
