If you regularly have the problem below, it is better you just buy a satellite dish and talk to intelSAT.
TK From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 11:09 To: Linux Users Group Uganda Subject: Re: [LUG] Ideal Home Internet Package mmhh, two different responses from mtn so I am not sure to understand ... Maybe my question was not clear, so I summarize here (once again those are questions from a user !) => of course buying X bundles does not increase the speed: the maximum will be 1 Mbps. Just increasing the quantity of data ... Please correct me If I am wrong ... let us assume that the maximum speed (1 Mbps, megabit per second) will be constant, one hour should therefore allow me to download (1*3600)/8 = 400 MB. So a bundle of 1GB would give me ..... 2.5 hours of full downloading ??? now let assume that I want a permanent day connection (or night) and that the connection will work at full speed, full time, I would have to buy 30*(12/2.5) ~ 144 bundles for one month ???? for instance if I want to download the last Debian (3DVD ~ 12 Go), it will take me 12/0.4 = 30 hours and cost me 12 bundles ? i hope I made a mistake somewhere! maybe it is up to 1 MBps ? => let us say that I'm a very economic user and I just receive basic text mail ... can i buy a bundle of 200Mb and use it during for instance one year or is there a time limit (like airtime ...) ? cordially,
