NOTICE: International Internet connectivity issues since February 17 [Resolved]

[SirSlothXCI]

I foresee another Sentech debacle....

[DsBalsak]

Connection still screwed

[boyequal]

Ditto. TALK.GOOGLE.COM still not connecting, no matter what port.

[jabezz]

Must admit, wish I could move too. If Telkom ever removes that rip-off 'connection' fee that pretty much no-one uses but has topay for, then iBurst will have lost me as a customer. It's just that it's been the cheapest option for me. But seeing as international browsing/downloading has been out of the question since last week Friday, I almost find myself reconsidering that issue.

What about 8ta's 10Gb for R200 special? Just need 21mbps dongle @ R599

Sitting at 20k+ ms latency to Blizzard EU servers, nearly 2 weeks I cant play WOW and my SA mates are playing fine. WOW subscription time ticking... patients wearing out... guild loosing confidence in me and looking for a replacement toon for the raid squad... restraining myself from malicious comments...

Well my downlaod speeds are 1/5th the speeds they were before. Use to download 100kb/s now can hardly get over 20kb/s. Seriously I feel throttling going on over this cable issue. Also my WoW latency has jumped to +1kms. Dont get me started on browsing, its very sluggish.

[Poekiej]

I just wonder...What's gonna happen with the cap we pay for? If I remember correctly, the midnight to morning cap doesn't get carried over and the anytime data only gets carried over 1 month? In my opinion, the least Iburst can do is carry over all the cap we pay for and can't use at the moment...Would be fair enough, isn't it?

[SirSlothXCI]

Speed seems decent today on my side. Browsing is adequate and downloads are at +-60kB/s.

My aunt is also having these constant disconnects. She is based in Krugersdorp.

I am going to check it out later but sounds like the exact same issue the people above are having.

How pathetic and they still want me to pay for a ****ing useless service i am not receiving,
still haven't even heard from them on cancelling my contract seems like the only way is to stop the
debit order at least then u will receive some sort of service

From Spectrum: use it or lose it in a clever way?

...ICASA asserting that Wireless Business Solutions (WBS), which operates iBurst and Broadlink, has been running around 1,000 unlicensed wireless links that they have rolled out since 1 April 2010.

WBS has racked up a bill to the tune of R24 million in outstanding license fees, ICASA said.

OMG! Are we feeling the pain of decommissioned wireless links?

+100

[SirSlothXCI]

It's been a whole week now and we still don't know jack $h!t regarding the ETA for repairing this problem. Rooi also seems to be absent from the forums.....

[DsBalsak]

Trying to play starcraft on the eu servers is a joke

[Markd]

speeds seen stupidly slow tonight. Whats going on iBurst?
