No, I was originally talking about use of the word Uncapped
What about HSDPA 1.8Mbps?
EDGE's maximum speed is 236kbps, and is common with Blackberries.

Thanks. But I'm making calculations of the 3 lowest known speed types. I'm aware of 1.8, 2, 3.6, 7.2 and 10, 10.2 (mbps), this is S.A btw, in any case I stated in brackets that EDGE speed vary from device to device. At www.gsmarena.com edge is most times/devices are at 296kbps, some are the 236kbps you noted. Well, one would get an idea of what to atleast expect.

Hopefully imminent... Something like -
Vodacom: Uncapped for 1 week at R100. First 3 1/2 days get full handsets speed. Then remaining 3 1/2 days throttle to 128kbps would be a good deal. An option to switch between normal mode and uncapped mode after the first 3 1/2 days would be good.
This would be a innovative and good deal.

Hahaha. Can I please have what you're smoking?
BTW, imminent is quite the wrong word to be using in a hopeful connotation

It appears this offer is still not available (well it's not on 555). According to the MTN website some of these services will only be launched on the 9th of April.

Why is 3G going at the dial up speeds of 384kbps
Wow, you must have been the happiest dialup user ever. I wish I got 384kbps when I was on dialup.

This has been bugging me. I did similar calculations to you and was getting way different answers. Then I read you wen for /12 not /8 - fair enough. Shoulda read closer. But now, now that I am reading closer, the above stood out:
Mmmm - so when you have reached 150MB on GPRS you will have your speed increased to 128...
Methinks this needs correction...
MTN 1-Day Unlimited (New) R50 still not available due date 9 april 2010
To my surprised after being promised by mtn to have the 1-Day Unlimited (New) R50 launched last sunday on the 4th of April and today seem like we just got ourselves set for another disappointment .

MTN4u... When I phone the call centre, they do not know what I'm talkin' 'bout. Let me wait for like 10mins, while reading off the site.
