testing uncapped LTE"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>FNB is\u00a0inviting some of its ADSL subscribers to participate in a trial for uncapped fixed LTE services.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the information the bank is sending to clients, the trial started in December and will run until\u00a029 February 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is uncapped for almost all applications and uses,\u201d said FNB.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese include email, browsing, streaming traffic like video, music, YouTube, Apple TV, [DStv] BoxOffice, Netflix, VPN, real time online gaming, backups, and gaming downloads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bank said only invited FNB ADSL customers who meet qualifying criteria can participate in the trial.<\/p>\n<p>For the trial, FNB is offering clients the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Free uncapped data over an LTE network (fair use policy applies).<\/li>\n<li>Average speeds not less than 10Mbps.<\/li>\n<li>Huawei CPE B315 LTE home router for the duration of the trial.<\/li>\n<li>Free delivery and installation.<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 technical support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Participants will be required to return the equipment at the end of the trial, which will be collected by FNB.<\/p>\n<p>FNB stated\u00a0the fair-use limit on the uncapped LTE service is set to 50GB, after which it may shape and throttle connections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFNB\u2019s fair use policy has been put in place to ensure that FNB Connect customers have a good user experience and that the network performance during peak periods is not compromised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParticipants who reach their cap may experience speed degradation due to throttling on bandwidth-intensive applications such as BitTorrent traffic via peer-to-peer and news servers protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/FNB-uncapped-LTE-trial.jpg\" rel=\"attachment
