Please Note - Network Shaping & Peak Hours Policy: 

To ensure the sustainability and quality of our network for all Clients, MTN, as the underlying network provider, may implement traffic shaping based on network congestion levels, particularly during peak hours (typically between 18:00 and 23:00). 

Network shaping may affect download and upload speeds, latency, or prioritisation of certain traffic types such as video streaming, file sharing, and P2P traffic.
