MTN makes Vodacom look great(er)

14 07 2008

Just when I thought it couldn’t get much worse, cue MTN, the provider of a shitter wireless service than Vodacom.

Right, remember the other day I was bitching about cost versus service and was using my Vodacom connection as a benchmark? Well this is now a cost versus a sheer lack of service. At least with Vodacom there was connectivity albeit drastically slow. That was on 3G. Now I’m not saying I am changing my stance on what I said previously, I am just saying lets compare notes and take a look at this happy little MTN connection monitor:

Let me explain real quick:

HSDPA is meant to be faster than 3G. Check the Send and Receive Current. 0.0kbps. All pages are showing as Page Cannot Be Displayed and not even MSN will log on. FASTER? Try non-existent.

I think their name is extremely misleading too, “F@stlink” which is really just a corny play with the @ sign trying to be clever spelling “fast”. Rather get your service faster and then you can get cocky.
