They kept their promise this far. My internet speed really doubled.

I could do anything i ever wanted to do: download huge files, develop websites, do some facebooking, <del>download song albums<\/del>, <del>download movies<\/del>.  I didn&#8217;t need a 1M connection.

(now)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As you see, MyT 1M (ex MyT 512k) have the highest performance-price ratio. However, ADSL users are being scammed.<br \/>\nThe budget says 16-24% decrease but they decreased the price by a mere 10%. This is a scandal! You must contact consumer protection thingies and the ministers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A New Twist: MyT w\/o TV option<\/strong><br \/>\nWHAT IN HELL IS THAT!? MyT is a package consisting of My.T Surf, My.T Watch and My.T Talk. I can remember clearly that they stated that MyT cannot be obtained without the TV options in their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mauritiustelecom.com\/myt\/?page_id=78\">FAQ<\/a>. Seems like they removed it some time ago. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did they allow people to take MyT w\/o TV?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you ask MyT officials, they won&#8217;t know themselves.<br \/>\nIt was made clear that if there is too much attenuation in your line, you just couldn&#8217;t get MyT. You <b>had<\/b> to take ADSL. It was a quite fair rule IMO. Where did MyT w\/o TV come from? <\/p>\n<p>The only difference between ADSL 512k and MyT 512k(w\/o TV) is that MyT is shipped with wi-fi.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Is Mauritius Telecom handled by nerd donkeys? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What to do about these users with MyT w\/o TV?<\/strong><br \/>\nThey are actually being offered 3 options:<br \/>\n1. Upgrade to MyT 1M which includes TV (Rs 999)<br \/>\n2. Downgrade to ADSL 512k (Rs 759)<br \/>\n3. Keep the existing connection without any speed increase or price decrease.<\/p>\n<p>Comment on option 3: This option is 100% illegal. It is Mauritius Telecom who sold MyT w\/o TV package. It is they who are now stopping this service. It is they who should take actions so as to comply with the law. They must automatically downgrade these users to ADSL 512k or offer them to upgrade to MyT 1M. Keep this in mind that they CANNOT say &#8220;keep your existing connection and pay the same&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why am i writing this article instead of enjoying my 1M connection?<\/strong><br \/>\nBecause i believe the extra speed given to me is being stolen from You!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pravind Jugnauth, Minister of Finance of Mauritius announced in the budget speech 2010-2011 that all internet access fees must decrease by 16-24%.
