Its early Nov and Supersonic has already sent me a message that I used 80% of my data (100 gig anytime). I then streamed a movie and I got a message that I reached 90% (a change equivalent to 10 gig). I checked the net for HD movie streaming gig equivalents and it indicates roughly 3 gig for an HD movie.

I enquired about a graph that shows hourly or daily usage and was told no such facility exists but remained confused about the basis for communicating with customers that they have reached 80% and then 90% usage. The Whatsapp service is also pathetic with chaps on the other side unable to address basic queries.

Seems that I am going to have to look for another service over the longer term. Meanwhile, the Supersonic team can go home with a good Christmas bonus, until I sort that out. I've heard from insiders at the likes of Vodacom and MTN that low costs are not passed onto the SA consumer, which is a developing country at that. Its sad that managers in our developing country, even post apartheid, show disregard for the community of consumers. Should we the common people care if a manager's BMW gets hijacked? If this is how performance bonuses are generated, my heart hardens.
 
Maybe the streaming video was glitching and downloading way more than was needed.

Quite easy to burn through data on LTE, I chowed through 50Gb in 2 days last month when a small torrent got stuck in an endless download loop without me noticing.
