Data speed limits

Good day,<br> <br> I activated a 24 hour data bundle which was purchased using my loyalty points - ***.<br> The bundle was activated at 16:04 but at 16:53 I received a message saying I had reached my fair usage of 150mb and my speed would be throttled.<br> <br> The only internet usage during this time was WhatsApp (no media files received) and cellphone banking.<br> It certainly would not have accounted for the 150mb usage. This is also not the first time this has happened. It seems in the last few months each time a 24hr bundle is activated the speed is throttled before the fair usage is reached.<br> <br> This is unacceptable as I am being deprived of the value I purchased.<br> MTN seems unwilling to even consider reimbur*****t of any sort for this *****.<br> <br> Repeatedly very poor service and value for money.<br> <br> Aggrieved.<br> <br> Reshan Packery<br>

Hello Reshan P,

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The 24 hour bundle allows you make use of the network full speed, however this data bundle has been limited by our fair-use policy to all users the same experience.

If you require constant speed, we will suggest that you make use of our monthly volume based bundles. You can simply dial *141*2#, select option 2, then option 5.

We've decided to credit your account with R150.00 (3x 24 hour bundle purchases). This credit will remain on your account and deplete the billed invoice.

Regards
Tim
MTN Complaints Management Team
