Hopeless poor Iburst - all out to lunch?

Tried to send mail this morning. Repeatedly get this message:

[*] Connection established to <<deleted>>
>> 0089 421 mail-06.jhb.wbs.co.za: Too many concurrent SMTP connections; please try again later
<< 0021 EHLO [deleted]

WTF!!

On top of that I am connected to the Centurion tower. A colleague was in my office yesterday thinking of getting IBUrst. Did the speed test at 09h00 - showed him download speeds of around 170kbps and upload of 12,5kbps.
And that is an improvement - have recently been getting download speeds of well below 100kbps - then after about 01h00 in the morning it gets up to nearly 400kbps (same modem location, same setup).

Needless to say he is not exactly rushing out to buy Iburst.

Ad then the CEO proudly (?) tells us how the Centurion tower is one the 5 busiest, but only talks about the Wonderboom tower being upgraded.

Hellooooooooo.
Is everyone out to lunch there?

I can't login to my iBurst mail from the web. Just getting error messages.

Spammers taking advantage of an open relay?

I just called the helpline and a recorded voice announced that they are experiencing problems with their SMTP server!




The only positive thing about i-iBest is that the recorded voice pops up immediately, thus saving me the time and airtime!

Their SMTP server has been having issues for the last week already every morning when I open my mail it tells me there's mail issues...

Maybe because you canceled with iBurst?
