@amby: Not only is MTN GPRS rather slow now, it times out twice every second! Absolutely unusable for my purposes - and for most people's, IMO. They cannot even get GPRS to work well, and they are talking of 3G in 2006!

@Amby MTN vanished last night for me. But I found out that if U have slow speeds, U can disconnect and reconnect to get a new ip address that is "faster". So I just check how fast it is loading.... and then decide to recconect or let it be. The "Client IP address" keeps changing.
Other errors and solutions: When it says "Hardware Failure" consistently, try to re-install the modem. Worked for me after days of frustration.
When it says "Cannot Assign ip address", reduce the modem speed from 115kb to 57kb. I also did that to start getting connected after days of wahala.
I also tried dialup with Glo. Even though I couldn't get access, I noticed how fast it was in dialling and connecting to the remote computer.... unlike MTN.
Vmobile GPRS does not cover my area! Too bad for me.

lol. mine's around 24-30kbps when i'm downloading but its timeouts....
Not possible with an mtn connection. if you are downloading using opera, the speed will be displayed under transfers as the last column. check actual speeds and report back. alternatively, do a speed test using dsl speed report.
@coola: I've been doing the disconnect-reconnect trick, but sometimes, reconnecting becomes a hassle. and changing the maximum speed does not make a difference.

I can't confirm the 1,1Mbit/sec connection...mario2002 was boasting to me.
Right now the 512kb/s product from Telkom.
AYA you night want to emigrate to South Korea.

AYA do u still use your Starcomms? what's the speed like during non-peak periods say btw 11pm and 6am?
Nope; I dont use it for internet access anymore. My objective report: everything seemed to work fine during the Free access period, but once I paid, my experience (after the period of non-service) was frequent downtimes. I found that for the majority of my daily slot (8 am to 6pm), I could not browse, and whenever i could it was agonizingly slow.
And to think that Starcomms compels you to pay for the full month in advance - and then you end up with a connection almost as useless as MTN GPRS' these days. There is the possibility that Starcomms works well for some others out there, but - hey! - you asked for my experience.
IMHO, Glo GPRS, for example, is much more reliable on the average. Its just that for heavy users, you pay through your nose for GPRS usage.

@Brix25: Why do you want our Aya to emigrate to South Korea? can he achieve 2mb internet connection speeds there?
@Mikky: Thats more likely. But then, a 2.5-4kb/s speed on MTN GPRS is a feat I haven't achieved since the early days of its free service. I also experienced some burst of speed two weeks ago after MTN removed some good cash from internet users accounts, and we decided to murder our SIMs. I guess we have a high concentration of awoof lovers in this my area
