    Vodacom has popped a cap in the ass bandwidth of Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) subscribers who exceed a monthly data limit of 100mb – cutting the speeds from 3G to 2G. Vodacom claims that this should only affect around 5% of the user base, as the rest are all using the service “fairly”.

    In a press statement released today, Vodacom announced that studies on usage patterns of the BIS service have shown that about 95% of the data usage is utilized by a minority of users, leading to congestion. This minority is considered by Vodacom to be “abusing the service,” and subsequently,
