Dear valued subscriber,

Did you know that as of this month you're counted among 40 000 other iBurst subscribers? And that by January 2008 you could be joined by 60 000 more? Your access to the most affordable wireless broadband is via our 150 base stations located across the country. We've recently added places as diverse as Diepkloof (Soweto), Mossel Bay and Heidelberg. Far from feeling like just another number in our fast-growing customer base, you've been inundating us with letters of thanks for the personal care and attention you consistently receive from our team:

"Your personal care for client needs is admirable. Your service is at a level I would be pleased to be associated with. With that in mind I will certainly recommend iBurst to our clients...Thank you for the fantastic service you have given me"- Paul Case, Managing Director, Dial a Nerd Bryanston

"You guys are obviously doing something right. Your staff members are great and your product works! I wish there were more companies in SA who conducted business the way you do. I will recommend iBurst to everyone." Frank Fouche, Describe Media cc

We've recently welcomed subscribers from Lenasia, Rosebank, Rynfield, Benoni, Rooihuiskrall and Lonehill to the iBurst family and we'll be spending a total of R350 million this year covering the country with the orange bubble that means instant, fast wireless access.

If you're planning on traveling this month you'll be pleased to know that we've got OR Tambo and Cape Town International covered so you can spend your free time checking email or web surfing. If you're planning a long road trip or even an odyssey by train, you'll find that iBurst maintains top connection speeds while you're moving at high speeds. That's what wireless mobility is all about.

On a slightly more serious note we've told you before about our plan to tackle the fallout from South Africa's infamous crime record: "While technological advances have made it possible for individuals to be mobile, conversely the security risks facing the mobile workforce leaves us with something to be concerned about," said Thami Mtshali, iBurst CEO. We're offering subscribers peace of mind with three insurance options covering your hardware and contracts. The credit life option insures the subscriber's contract against death, disability and retrenchment. The short term insurance option covers subscribers' modems against theft and damage, and as the name suggests, combined insurance offers both credit life and short term insurance for all-round cover.

Thanks again for the positive feedback, we love hearing from you.

Kind regards,

The iBurst Team

It's funny that iBurst didn't post any dates next to the 'positive' comments. I think those comments are 3 years old. LOL :p
 
Lies, Lies!!!!! all of those comments and should be taken with a spoonful of salt.:eek::rolleyes:
 
What's even more comical is the fact that this "newsletter" is sent out to all current subscribers who will not be duped into believing the bile spewed forth as they have all had to deal with the helpdesk, accounts and pitiful product.

I have no idea who iBurst are trying to kid, but to be honest, the fact that they are stating that by the beginning of next year 60 000 more subscribers will be sharing an already overloaded system, it seems they are only kidding themselves.

What existing subscribers want to hear is, faster speeds, more reliable signals, additional towers, better service etc are all coming to the fore.

Not this BS.
 
60 000 new subscribers and the system will truly be running at old telkom dial up speeds, thats assuming it could support it.:eek:

More than likely they are looking at 30 000 to 40 000 less subscribers by Jan 08.:rolleyes:

They might have to start with one by August.

Despite how terrible Telkom are, they are the only company who lowers their broadband prices almost every year. The latest decrease for 384 is pretty good, almost R100 less on the line rental. That's really enough to justify changing, after seeing the same prices for 2-3 years on iBurst while there have been 3 price reductions and a free speed upgrade on Telkom over the same period.

I'll sit back for awhile and watch the price changes between the ISPs and telkom for the rest of the year as I'm sure there will be even more decreases in broadband costs.

You never know maybe someone will take over iBurst and throw out the useless bunch starting at the top since thats where the rot begins, if not then I guess iBurst is doomed to failure.
 
40 000 subscribers?

No wonder iBurst don't have a representitive on this forum. It's sad to say this, but do you honestly even think they give a flying stih about what (approx 20) active members have to say about the service?

PDonut is right, this thread needs more iBurst members...
