MTN Uncapped Lite

[SwaarMetaal]

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

May I ask, what do you download? I mean an average of say 50GB per month is totally understandable, a bit excessive but understandable, but when people mention more than 100GB I cannot other than think that you must obviously be downloading movies and series after series. Now don't get me wrong, if you PAID for said movies and series, then by all means, 100GB doesn't sound unreasonable at all but what makes my blood boil is people who steal. People who take something that doesn't belong to them. Download something they didn't pay for. And there are countless internet users who does this. Why??? These days you can very conveniently buy the original products for very good prices. I really never could and won't ever understand why anyone would bother downloading a movie or series. And if the series or movie hasn't been released yet. Then you f#cking wait until it gets released. The same goes for ANY software. If you want it, buy it, if you cannot afford it then that's just too bad.

And another thing, why do some people with uncapped internet download anything and everything that they can? Even if it's never going to be used / watched / installed / whatever the case may be. It's because of mentality such as this that we have throttled speeds in the first place.

Maybe you use it for work and need to download huge files of who knows what which is ace but for a private / home internet user, downloading 100GB + screams piracy.

Not at all, I'm just TOTALLY, and I mean TOTALLY, against piracy. Cannot stand it. I've had numerous extremely heated arguments with random people and work colleagues about this subject and well, although I feel very strongly about it, I suppose those people just doesn't give a sh#t. Unfortunately. Hopefully I'll get through to somebody, some day...

Ek is ook maar nog gethrottle.

 

[MaddieX]

Oh, noooo dit was seker net dan gister. Ek wou se want my cap kry ek gewoonlik eers die 17de van elke maand.

So does anyone know what happens when your contract expires? Will they convert the Uncapped to a package that's the same as your fair usage policy?

I suppose that is what all current MTN Uncapped Lite / Pro contract holders would like to know.

Anyone had connection trouble over the weekend? On Saturday morning the network light on my router stayed orange. This is the first time that that had ever happened. I couldn't connect at all. Restarting also didn't do the trick. Tried again yesterday morning, same thing. At around 10:00 I was able to connect (green light on router) but speed were extremely slow. This morning at around 04:30 I tried again and again no connection (orange light).

Well, I'm at work now and it's working fine. I just hope that it's not the tower I connect to from home that's busted.

Het enige iemand n probleem met upload? My download hardloop mooi op n Ookla speed test, maar bom uit met upload. Daar is absoluut geen beweging met upload nie.

 

[MaddieX]

Ek het ook probleme met uploads gehad met my Outlook, was gisteraand weer reg. Joune reg gekom?

Nuwe ding by mtn. Hulle throttle jou tot in met EDGE spoed. As jy hulle bel en vra wat gan an dan sê hulle net dat die kontrak se dat as jy gethrottle word kan die spoed tot in met 256kbps gan. So as jy 1kbps kry dan is dit nou ma so.

Ek sal defnitief nooit weer 'n MTN data kontrak vat nie. Grootste hoop bollie op aarde.
Eks nogals spuit ek het my vir 24 maande vas geteken.

Ek is nog BAIE gelukkig met hierdie kontrak. Het dit sedert Julie 2012 en sou dit teen Julie 2014 sonder enige twyfel wou hernu, maar ongelukkig bied MTN nie meer hierdie kontrakte aan nie. In die sowat 14 maande het ek minimaal probleme ondervind. Wanneer ek ge-throttle is kry ek 'n konstante en heel stabiele 25 tot 32 KB/s terwyl ek download.

Ek het laas oor die naweek van 3 en 4 Aug die jaar 'n probleem ondervind. Sedertdien absoluut geen. My konneksie bly verbasend konstand en stabiel vir ure en ure aaneen. Ek het nou vir net bietjie meer as 'n week 'n 12GB download met ge-throttelde spoed gedoen en ek het GEEN probleem gehad nie. Het die download in sessies van 10 tot 15 ure op 'n slag gedoen, om my PlayStation 3 so nou en dan bietjie rus te gee. Die game het vanoggend klaar ge-download en install. Geen probleem.

I have been pretty happy with my contract. Fortunately I do not live in the city, so we dont have Telkom infrastructure, I had ADSL for 2 weeks, our lines where then stolen, then a year later our poles where removed. So I tried a couple of Wireless providers and this product has been the only one which I have had consistent service, one month I was not capped....

 

[MaddieX]

anyone experiencing some difficulties with their uncapped? Been struggling for a month now...signals are really bad.
