We used 200-times the fair usage limit on MTN’s R79 uncapped data bundle

This really shouldn't be positive news it works out cheaper on contracts meaning that it can be done for cheaper, just look at how cheap Telkom's 500meg + 10gb package works out, difference being you don't have to download at a snails pace.

This should be a cautionary tale that we have gotten use to getting ripped off.
 
Is 20MB fair use a typo?
 
They must have improved this. Not only did they prematurely trigger my 'fair use' limit, but they made it really low - I'd be surprised if I got 64kbps. It kept timing out which is frustrating when you're doing banking and the like
 
For the test, we wanted to see how much data we could use on the uncapped bundle throughout the course of a “normal day”.

This is part of your normal day?

We first fired up a 10-hour YouTube video in addition to downloading test files in the background, ensuring we used up the data as quickly as possible.
 
Are MTN systems so slow that it takes them so long to respond to you going out the limit of the FUP. EINA!
