Telkom mobile aka 8ta now has a 1GB BIS limit. So when you download and reach that limit they throttle you to the ground with average 10 to 15kbps speeds. the only alternative is cellc which has the 2GB BIS limit but its network will teach you new swear words you didn't even know existed. And that's how the cookie crumbles.

My bro has cellc he only gets 1GB? And can anyone confirm that mtn still have unlimited bis for R59

@phly_kid | 14 August 14 | |
either cellc downed their data on the R57 package or your bro is using the lesser priced BIS package like the R37 or less package which are limited to 1GB. AFAIK the only package on cellc with 2GB is the R57 one. MTN... You don't wanna go there. Trust me.

Not even worth owning a BB now lol rather head over to android

android is the future. Your best bet is to organize WIFI at home. Hook up an affordable net package and use wifi to connect. Or buy data packages. prices are falling but still not as cheap/affordable as we like but what is one to do. The best a BB can now function as is a mobile hotspot.

Or if we could somehow find a way to stop them throttling the speeds? Resend service books? Would that work?

If your really in a bind, and need untrottled speed, everytime you get throttled, use Jl_cmder to wipe your phone....then reload os.....speed will be back to normal without buying a new bundle......kinda extreme, but repeat as needed.....

@samir187 | 20 August 14 | |
