Yep they are , no problem with that, but then give the people what want 3G the option to cancel and get something else where they always have 3G or pay more for 3G, don't just force it down on them.

What's stopping you from purchasing a data bundle for use when switching APNs?

Well now you'll be paying for 100MB 3G and uncapped 2G thereafter. That's a better deal than the rest of us with 100MB data bundles get anyway. If you want more 3G then you'll have to buy it.

12000 Tweets sounds like abuse to me.

Email, BBM and Browsing. NOT Downloading. Compression on these services are done extensively and so if BIS is used by you for what it was intended...the majority of people will not even reach 100meg in my opinion.

Have you considered that perhaps its so slow because of abuse by a minority?
Yes I know what you mean, its just unfair now that the majority has to suffer because some people are so greedy!

Indeed. But as has been reported. 95% of people...or at least the vast majority of people wont be affected by this and should see a improvement in their service.

EDGE is capable of this.
EDGE Class 10, 236.8 kbps
236.8 kbps is still more than sufficient for BBM, email and light browsing (What BIS was intended for in the first place). Should you want the faster 3G speeds you can switch to the Vodafone browser which goes via the normal internet or vlive apn and you will be charged for data used.

Even my journalist friend is angry, sites are no longer loading, even mybb site is taken over 25seconds to load. Once again I am owner of 8520 device, should of never bought a 3G device if I knew this was going to happen... Goodbye Vodacom u lost my business - Moving to the blaCk company
