I've been down since 2pm. And no luck still. Plus I uploaded 500mb data to my account that miraculously disappeared immediately

@MTNza I just lost almost R50 airtime even though I had over 160 minutes and over 200 mb of data !!!

In case you don't know what 'speedily' means. It's been over 4 hours now with no connectivity. pic.twitter.com/slkAsxuf8d
