Vodacom TZ introduces unlimited internet for a flat fee
Guys, Just a note, I have just finished downloading winDVD (178mb) within 6 minutes on a vodacom connection in TZ which am paying a monthly flat fee for. Now, Where is safaricom and when are they giving us this? http://www.vodacom.co.tz/docs/docredir.asp?docid=3565 BTW...the cost is just under Kshs. 4000 a month.

Hi David , Are you sure ? Here is my calculation 178 MB= 178*1024*8 = 1458176 Kb you said flat rate, i assume it is bomba tariff. the speed is limited to 64kbps. it means with that speed you need 1458176/64/3600 = 6.3 hours Unless vodacom speed limitation is not working. http://www.vodacom.co.tz/docs/docredir.asp?docid=3569 (look at point 3)
There is no limitation that I saw...I am getting avaragely 420KB/s David. On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 3:38 PM, ibtisam jamal <ibty.jamal@gmail.com> wrote:
