iBurst is starting to migrate subscribers to new packages which provide higher usage limits and lower per-GB pricing
iBurst recently announced that it has revamped its Wireless products, offering subscribers up to double their bandwidth allocation each month for the same or slightly lower monthly subscription fee. In the run-up to the launch of the revamped iBurst Wireless packages tomorrow, iBurst Group CEO Jannie van Zyl promised current subscribers that they will be able to enjoy all the benefits of the new packages.
“It makes good business sense to reward the loyalty of one’s current customers. With this in mind, iBurst is committed to ensuring that our existing subscribers benefit equally from the launch of our new iBurst Wireless packages,” said van Zyl.
Starting today and continuing until 1 December, the majority of the existing iBurst Wireless customer base will be moved over to the new packages in the first phase of the migration project. Customers currently on the following packages will begin receiving email communication today informing them that they will be migrated to equivalent packages: KickStart, Playa, Giga, Turbo, Pro, Xtreme and Addict.
A small portion of the customer base is still subscribed to previous iBurst Wireless packages that have not been available for some time. These customers will be migrated to the new iBurst Wireless packages during Phase 2 of the migration project which starts in mid-December.
iBurst will begin communicating the relevant changes to these subscribers during the course of this week. Subscribers on the following packages will be part of this second migration phase: FreeFlo, Pro Intro, Pro Novice, Pro Classic, Pro Extreme, Pro Addict, Play Intro, Play Special, Play Novice, Play Classic, Play Extreme, Play Addict and Play Special.
iBurst Prepaid Internet subscribers are not affected by the changes to the Wireless packages.
