ciphoenix: from what i see, it seems for those that use the BB7.1 OS and lower and VPN, it's still unlimited but for those those with the BB10 OS and direct connection on other devices without VPN it stops working on exhaustion of the 3GB

ozor1: that's my point. ..as regards to d vpn. Udp and icmp no longer connects

Koonbey1: hey Guys,im sorry,im a bit lost here;does this mean that subscribing for a vpn now is useless??.and,if i subscribe to mtn bis now and put in my universal modem,will it work automatically or are there any settings i should be aware of? thanks

ciphoenix: my vpn still works though.

but my BIS expires tomorrow

ozor1: it should work. Untill u exust ur mb

ciphoenix: my vpn still works though.

but my BIS expires tomorrow

Koonbey1: pls reply

lord.spiritual:

subscribing for a vpn is now basically useless as you now have internet access directly from mtn witout you using a vpn bypass...it is now like the airtel bb model...

Osumare2013: What abt those dat are using the BIS on blackberry, will there be data cap for their subscription too? Or is it just d non-BB users?

Deblow: Am still sceptical about the whole issue because I have been using the droidvpn for up to 20 days now and I am a heavy user of data. Just in a day I downloaded a two-part film both totalling about 1.1Gb let alone several other online video streaming. And since morning today I have been on my note 2 yet am still browsing! Don't you think I must have exceeded the purported 3gig cap? Honestly, its confusing

ciphoenix: personally i've gotten 7GB+ in the past 48 hours, thats why i'm still confused. am i using up my cap? or does it only apply after you renew your subscription?

VPNs still work. only thing is the APN also works without any VPN.




i might as well exhaust my data before it expires tomorrow 

ozor1: did u watch it... Re u sure u exceeded 3gig

not sure when they started it though.


i'll find out if it works when i renew tomorrow.
in the meantime i'll use it till it's finished(whenever it stops working)      

the big question remains.


WHAT IS THE ACTUAL DATA CAP

HOLLASLYD: mtn is idiotic. those mofos cut me off this afternoon. apn connects, droidvpn doesnt, system vpn doesn't both on icmp and udp.
before this shiiit happened, I've gotten a lot of complaints from people that their vpns stopped working. tot it was a joke till it hit me.
I run windows 8 which in a way.aint too friendly with direct connections. from my windows behavior,I noticed this on friday morning and didnt think of direct surfing till yesterday night.

problem is blackberry.net is connected. I cant surf neither with vpn nor direct. if it was capped, it should say. something like this via message. (you have exhausted your 3gb blackberry data plan. text BBC to 21600 for a 3gb monthly blackberry data plan.) dont yall think that.? am by then,definitely the apn will seize to connect.

so to my conclusions, I think.mtn didnt cap the damn thing.its still unlimited but the bad news was they set the network free to be able to block the icmp,udp ports individually on our sims.
reason someone I know who has not used upto 100mb since this thing started,got blocked before me. there might be a more lucid explanations but this are my conclusions
