South African Nets providers planning to cut down download permit of BIS

**Kaymau5** · 10-30-2012, 10:00 AM

My fellow BBs, lucky you out there across the world whereby your net providers like Rogers alow you guys to download files,
Here in South Africa anytime soon or by next year, we will be no longer be able to download files using BIS, coz since they realized S.A is buying lot of BB, they might use this, as an advantage to RIM.

hahahahahahahahahahahah

what kind of information is this? dosent make any absolutely normal sense.

@Zakud, well, bro, if South African net providers are doing this to us, then, we won't consider BB as a phone to be bought...now I'm using a 9360, my next upgrade won't be BlackBerry again...coz they now have nonsense reasons over the net, its not us who abuse the net.
@2c....you may laugh as you can, but I'm pretty sure that you don't have same problem as us...if you did, you would have given a better response

Yip MTN is really the worst network, I'm lucky if a file can finish downloading with getting error, and its not even big files its like 2mb or 3mb
@zaku use ytconv.net clipconVerter.cc/mobile and youtube-mp3.org

I'm on cell c and they don't throttle their network I get between 100KB/s and 290KB/s never had any problem downloading stuff but yeah on vodacom I always had a struggle and never tried mtn because everyone said it was total Bullsh+t so if you guys want try Cell c depending on your area and 3G coverage you'll be happy with their service

**tsmrg** · 11-07-2012, 04:03 AM

O yeah that cool man. Look it simple, this is the Email you need, coverage@mtn.co.za just launch a complaint there detailing your problem.

Mine was freed in less than 3 days. Another smart method, download operamini. Download what ever and when it fails simply navigate to options and select Downloads from there you resume your download from where it failed. It pretty cool and fast as local browser.

Just add me 2A7E4D7D and you'll be downloading your MP4 porn again you dirty perverts! Yeah Mp3 and all that too. We have to keep it under cover or else MTN will throttle this one too.

lol, tell me more about it
