It's a everyday issue. The max I can get during that time period is 200kbps for a 1mbps connection. Sort of a pain in the a$$.Right OrangeMauritius?

I went there the day after, "Sorry sir, but port is still unavailable in your region" they take 1 week to reply to a mail, and replied only to one out of 4 mails. Yeah, their customer care is awesome, they are probably the only allowed to take drugs during work hours.

Speeds of 7kb/s are no longer surprising. The frustrating 'Server Not Found' message are more and more frequent and the problem is always found to come from Orange. Can't do anything against those abuses that are tolerated by the authorities. The yoyo quality of service of Orange.mu seemed to have tired out and tend to stay at the bottom these days.

I'm using a blackberry on orange network and yep I'm forced to say the connection (speed / availability / stability ) isn't that great. The most I get on a download is 56Kb/s yep that's like an old 56K modem. And it can take ages to request a page. And I'm not even talking about their CC services. The web site says that there is only a gprs connection for blackberry, their technicians say I will get 3G speed if I activate the 3G on my phone, another assistant say no I will get only gprs and another seller is forcing me to change my phone for a supposed better one so that I will get the 3G speed. Note that I'm using a Bold 9000 which IS a 3G phone. I think Emtel's price for blackberry connection is a bit higher. Is it worth it? Does anyone here use Blackberry on Emtel? I would like some feedback. I'm wondering if I should change operator. Thanks everyone Hi,

I once wrote an article in L'express back in 2004 requesting the government (ICTA) to open the way for new ISPs in Mauritius but obviously as someone mentioned above, ICTA is managed by the people at MT and they don't want competition.... the result.... Internet speed still sucks big time in Mauritius. I am currently on holidays in my paradise island and I had hoped to see some new 2mbps or even 8mbps packages to keep up with the rest of the world...but no... ORANGE still advertising 512kbps as Fast Internet Access (my f*****g arse!!!). I have been surfing for the last 6 years in UK at 16mbps and recently upgraded to 20mbps. Mauritius is supposed to be an IT Hub and all it's people get is a lousy 512kbps...and that too if you're lucky. The fastest speed I've seen advertised in the papers recently is 7.5mbps by Emtel (using the Mifi dongle)...but that remains to be seen and tested. I sincerely hope that with the end of the monopoly on the SAFE cable, a lot of new and innovative ISPs set up shop in Mauritius and that we see some new high speed packages at low prices... In the mean time friends, as we say, let's "pince neznez boire dilhuile"... Nuvs. Hey all,
