I thought i was, as usual, the only one unsatisfied about the internet connection i have however the whole majority of surfers seems to be complaining about their internet connection in Mauritius, be it, Nomad, ADSL, MyT or now even MTML.
A lot about my experience about the “high speed wireless reliable internet access” (Nomad) has been read here in this blog.
Its sure that people are fed with nomad as users and also, as visitors in this blog, thanks for ur patience.
[ You can read the whole range about nomad here ]
Mauritius Telecom and Telecom Plus offer the following;
- Wanadoo ADSL
- MyT
Mr Avinash Meetoo has been conducting a survey on the bandwidth available with the help of other persons.
According to his first results,
Simply said, we are getting much less than what we are paying for.
And finally, the latest on the market, MTML
as our new blogger friend, Azagen, says here in his first post
My complaints to MTML Services.
I’ve been using the services of these guy’s there since January. Since then, these people there have been messing and constantly fooling me. I’ve got so many problems with them that i had to go to ACIM to lodge a complaint about them. I have already sent a letter of six full pages to the ICTA to complain about the lack of responsibility and profesionalism of the people working there.
Till now, he is the only one known to have mtml in our class, and at the start, he was very proud of his 244 kbps connection 😛
Seems now that his internet experience is no more the same.
However, i do know another friend, but till now, he hasnt been complaining about his connection
The views and experience of the different ISPs seems to differ depending on different factors;
- Location ( myT and Nomad)Different people say different things about their connection, and it seems that different regions do not always give the same speed since the internet speed depends on the distance from the Relay(myT) or the BTS antenna (Nomad) and also, the degree of saturation.
- Internet UsageThose using myT for mass downloading often complain about low speed, because they exceeded the garantie d’usage.As for Nomad, many of the users do not even know how to use internet properly because of the huge nomad campaign to attract customers.
Sorry for the word, but huge majority of nomad users
are simply “COUYON”They either do not care about their connection, or are not aware that the problems they get are due to their ‘reliable’ connection.
Also, may of them, are ‘shy’ to call the customer care…
Believe me, i know personally a lot of them.
- Customer Care Experience
A quote from many myT users;
Customer care mari bon
So, it seems that they are highly help-full and reliable
Unlike Nomad, where
– You may be put on hold for even more than 10 mins
– You may have to wait for their technicians or Customer Care agents to call you back for days!
– The problems get solved by themselves, no explanation about the source of problem or even the solution applied - Tracking of resourcesThis applied to nomad, from personal experience and feedback.
Did you know that there are some users of nomad, who havent paid their monthly fees for month???Also, i heard of someone who migrated to America, and who simply had “bouille so modem wiz lapaille dither” before going 😛Till now, Nomad, has not reported any of these cases and also, very often, they have huge billing errors in their monthly settlements!
- Home InterventionI once got the feedback that myT technicians are very very quick to attend outdoors, sometimes coming home even without notice, lol.However, some friends got the following problem;
Telecom Plus automatically switched their ADSL connection to myT without notice for testing and consequently, they dont have any internet access.
This happenned in 2 known case
– When technicians are supposed to come to upgrade ur connection
– or when they test your lines to see for myT support.As for Nomad, u have to wait for the day where technicians are deployed on the part of the island where u live. Just to add, Outdoor technicians at nomad are very limited (for the north, i know only 2)
What about
your internet experience???

Greetings,
I use ADSl 128Kbps and i have an average download speed of 14KB/S (slightly less than listed by Ben i.e 16KB/S)…I am a heavy downloader and like many guys out there, this speed is hignly inconvenient for mass downloading..
In this context, i wish to know whether changing to MyT will be the best solution to solve my problem..I learn that the IGB limit on MyT 256 Kbps has been removed. Can someone please confirm it?..What is the new limit?..Will it be advantageous for me to change to myT 256Kpbs in order to get a faster download speed?..
Thanks,
Asl

Open only one port, say 12345 or a range of ports 10000-50000, for TCP & UDP separately, local IP 192.168.1.10 & interface pp0.
After that, you need to configure uTorrent (Connection Settings) to use that port 12345 or use the randomize port option which will select a random port between 10000 to 50000.
That’s it. Your port is forwarded. 😉
@Asl
I was like you last year, pondering whether I should move to My.T or not. I’ve got only one advice – DO IT.
The limit has been removed, the FUP is not applied & you get double speed – around 30KB/s.
& if you want to max out the speed (by 10%) try any Linux distro for downloading.
Cheers! 😛

Hi bloggers,
When you download stuffs on rapidshare as a free user using internet download manager, you cannot pause the download or disconnect from the net to resume same at a later time ..so far with my adsl 128Kbps I can download huge files from rapidshare without having disconnection problems which will drive me crazy mad if this ever happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … Can you imagine your reaction if the pc disconnects when u have reached 90% of a 100MB file which takes around 2 hours to complete on a 128Kbps speed and u have to start all over again!!! I must admit adsl 128Kbps is stable and not bad; but it is costly…
So Carrot or Yashvin, is MyT as stable as ADSL in terms of zero or very rare disconnection problems?..
A stable 256Kbps internet connection with 30Kbps download speed costing as much as ADSL 128Kbps will be indeed not bad for us, islanders..

Hey there.
MyT sure is better than most(though there ain’t much)other ISPs[services] in Mauritius. You get services internet/phone/TV. Though the TV is not working for most of their users. When I got MyT one year ago they told me that I wont get the TnT thing as I’m too far blah blahblah.. and they be putting optic fiber ‘very soon’ and I should get full speed and TV etc.. One year later ‘very soon’ has not yet come. Whats the use putting 4 more channels to something that’s NOT WORKING.Would be better to fix that sh*t first. Anyone know anything about the fiber optic project by MT in Mtuis?? Are we still on good old all-oxidized copper line between the exchange points?
Oh and their orange.mu site need to have some more info. And if could be updated more often, I’m not asking for every hour or every day but lets say like..once a week. Umm ok its too much work for them.forget it.
But I have my devilish habit to call their 8900.Mwaa haha! Need to update these people too.
