I can tell that I will be among the first in fup then lol coz I can normally dl 1gb per day(though I have restricted how much I dl for the time being coz of exams) but 1gb/day isn’t hard for me to reach with ddl and torrent lol<BR/><BR/>I wouldn’t my capping PROVIDED we had something like 8mbps and capping at 512kpbs and capping after 20gb…with something like that I can tell I wouldn’t mind…du moins pas trop :P<BR/><BR/>I don’t know for you but several of my pals on adsl told me that they had speed problems. Or even that websites such as youtube took time to load or even when surfing they had some troubles. Is it the new orange policy in application? Or just some problems like that.<BR/><BR/>Now concerning mobile hope that we get some good services such as having no-need-to-pay sms day more often, lol and a better network would be great.<BR/><BR/>So for the time being I’ll just hope n c what happens but without keeping our hopes too high<BR/><BR/>darklideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-51906898640188628872008-04-21T23:23:00.000+04:002008-04-21T23:23:00.000+04:00orange pou nou vine mangue la!!!they are trying to...orange pou nou vine mangue la!!!<BR/><BR/>they are trying to fit more users in their crapy network without actually want to invest or make any big investment.. <BR/><BR/>well suppose the price goes down by50% next month..with the number of new users wanting to register, would they handle the new load? i think what they are trying to do is very dangerous and maybe in the coming days we might be faced to a consequent degradation of our internet connection..<BR/><BR/><BR/>well i know these questions am asking myself are kinda stupid and obviously all these are well thought of by MT and orange but hey in Mauritius we all have the policy of performing an action then wait to see if there is any negative reaction lol<BR/><BR/>this morning for instance, the 3rd lane going to PL was closed because some great people have to go to the airport.. lol.. zotte pena alarm dan lotel zotte resT.. pas conne leve bonheur???<BR/>providing them with some police riders wouldn't have been enough??<BR/><BR/>the way i see it life in Mauritis is becoming more and more fun!!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-6053209772180442882008-04-20T23:48:00.000+04:002008-04-20T23:48:00.000+04:00I'm starting to really hate Orange. Now, both MyT ...I'm starting to really hate Orange. Now, both MyT and ex-Wanadoo ADSL are capped, limited by the Fair Use Policy (FUP).<BR/><BR/>Mann... 1-2GB then you are on FUP? What the?! That's what I download in 3-4 days too. Some random OS, antivirus and software upgrades, and you have your 1GB. 2 Linux distros, and you are over 1 GB. Some YouTubing, Online Radio (I love online radios) and I'm again over my GBs..<BR/><BR/>The limit in other countries is like 100GB. Or at least 20GB. And then, there's FUPs that only impose a speed restriction on heavy downloaders during peak hours. Off-peak, they get full speed (Tiscali for example, imposes this).<BR/><BR/>Well, it's not for nothing that Orange is one of the least recommended ISPs of UK.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, let's wait and see. We never know. Maybe we'll get the fabled 8Mbps uncapped! Well, Tiscali offers 8Mbps at sub 10-pounds prices! :s<BR/><BR/>For orange fans, <BR/><BR/>[ http://www.reviewcentre<BR/>.com/reviews107114.html ]<BR/><BR/>This will be very interesting! :P<BR/><BR/>Anon :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-59751328929372339812008-04-20T21:26:00.000+04:002008-04-20T21:26:00.000+04:00you mentioned it yourself in other countries there...you mentioned it yourself in other countries there is competition.. but who will compete here?<BR/><BR/>its as if a "monopole" MTML was supposed to be the messiah,but its only false hopes!! without a decent competition the price might go down but at a very low rate i fear.. <BR/><BR/>the problem was that MT was overprotected by the gov and ICTA, so whatever competition there might have been disappeared. <BR/><BR/>i know about the stuff with garantee usage in MyT but i am used to adsl 512 unlimited and was paying it Rs1360+ vat . the problem with this crap fairness policy is that the price stays the same except that they can manze mo poummm if they want to..<BR/><BR/>The most important thing is to see how emtel reacts to all this. lets hope they start fighting :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-70630840823969750572008-04-20T20:44:00.000+04:002008-04-20T20:44:00.000+04:00I think that Orange is investing a lot on MYT..

In order to make the ADSL users to turn on MYT...<BR/>Orange don't really care about the Mauritius Telecom users ayoooo sori Orange Users, they only want their investment to be fruitful and to make the maximum money out of it...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759247134039797515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-68235831166044917312008-04-20T20:30:00.000+04:002008-04-20T20:30:00.000+04:00Well you have to bear in mind that the underlying ...Well you have to bear in mind that the underlying structure is still that of 'le defunt CellPlus'...It is just a name change.<BR/><BR/>In Europe they have very nice promos for orange users...there were free texts, and call time to orange customers. They even had free evening and week-end minutes...Orange Weekends...<BR/><BR/>Well i believe that he might be wanting more Orange customers...but there is one thing which i do not really understand...who is doing the marketing for Orange, is it Mauritius Telecom or Orange itself???<BR/><BR/>Fairness...that a very subjective thing. Well there is something which ressembles a fairness clause in MyT 2 GB 'guaranteed QoS' its not really guaranteed though.. lets put it this way: If you have downloaded less that 2GB during the month, you are on a sort of priority list for bandwidth and you yet a slightly higher download rate than that of subscribers who have downloaded more than 2GB.<BR/><BR/>INMHO, it could be that 'a fair user' of the net is someone who downloads less than 2GB per month.... LOL!! Dans quel monde vivons-nous? - That is what many of my friends download in about 4-5 days...<BR/><BR/>One thing which many European ISPs do is an automatic Upgrade...say you are with 'ISP X' using a 512 Kb download rate for a period of 6 months, they automatically upgrade your line to twice the speed up tp 8 Mb at no extra cost. It helps them retain customers as there is a lot of competition over there between the ISPs. You have to bear in mind that on avaerage, we are actually paying more for broadband, i.e ADSL access than the Europeans are ......when i left UK i was paying 9.99 pounds for a 2Mb line and i had unlimited call time to local landlines ....<BR/><BR/>N'y a-t-il pas matière a refléxion?????? Au moins personne ne pourra nier qu'il y a matière a comparaison quand meme!!!!<BR/><BR/>I am just hoping that with Orange, we benefit from similar deals.G@V!Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141062019485330837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206736520243633504.post-83742401135519506292008-04-20T15:53:00.000+04:002008-04-20T15:53:00.000+04:00i don't see any special change in the services bes...i don't see any special change in the services besides seeing "orange" everwhere..<BR/><BR/>the magic numbers thing i don't find it personally useful, maybe its nice for others ;)<BR/><BR/>well there should have been a mega promo i think to really put emphasis on the new deal.. something to actually scare off any competitors or something to make other people move to orange..<BR/><BR/>At some point in time i seem to understand that for more services by orange, MT should get a certain number of registered users, don't really know wether the ceo of orange was talking to the room or personally to Mr Lallah.. <BR/><BR/>something that i believe is not right and practically disgusting for the time being is the fairness clause being added to adsl.. its auite obscure right now and in the coming days we'll get a better idea how it works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
