Another Country with iBurst

mmmh, according to arraycom Three others are committed (in Europe and elsewhere in Africa) but not yet ready for public disclosure.
 
If I'm not mistaken there's been mention of WBS getting involved in deployment in Africa (perhaps Nigeria) on these forums about 9 - 10 months ago...
 
Iburst is also in Australia. They can get it at lowered speeds like 256kb for cheaper prices and then also at up to 2mb I think, or that is coming soon. They are also going to be upgrading to 3mb in a year or so and after that it can go up to 8mb/s.

It is cheaper for them but the caps are similar, I think they go up to 10GB.
 
now if only we I can get a big enough antena to get full signal from Australia
 
Well wasn't our service supposed to be upgraded to 2mb/s sometime this year, I havent heard anything about that since an official from WBS made that comment last year sometime.

Anyone know if that is still official and being planned? It would definately be nice and shurley Iburst can afford it, they have probably tripled their user base in the last 6-10 months or so, yet their prices remain the same. Bandwidth should also be getting cheaper for them as they can buy it from differnet sources in the new fututre.

I'd rather have more bandwidth at a cheaper price than a faster 2mb/s connection.

As it is we can burn up our BW in a very short time at 1mb/s or so without much of a problem which sorta makes 2mb/s a bit of a waste unless BW gets alot cheaper.
 
iburst in OZ is more expensive than here, but they get some concessions.
Like off-peak and on-peak bandwidth.
 
Well, MrH, I dont think it really matters to WBS what you want. Because it doesn't cost them much to give us 2mb/s service but it does cost to give us more bandwidth.

Anyway, what they are planning is to upgrade to 2mb/s I think. It will be nice in any case.

But I'd also prefer a higher cap, maby we should raise our voice to WBS. But think about it, in ads they can now claim to be the fastest connection in SA once again if they up their service to 2mb/s because they will still be faster than HSDPA which only tops about 1.8mb/s. In most ad's they dont even quote the cap limit, just the price for the 1gig account, so it will harldy help them.
 
iBurst is now in 5 Countries the latest to my knowledge being Ghana

/me wonders with more countries climbing these iBurst boat is my service provider going to allow me to use my iburst modem when I go to another country.

I know there have been disscussion about swapping modems when you go down under, but wonder if those rules apply to the other four 3 countries:
1. Аzerbaijan
2. Kenya
3. Ghana

You know I'm, just thinking .......Personally, I wouldn't be spending millions into a dedicated data network and not offer voice.....nor would I not be spending that amount and not offer roaming internationally *and since other countires are accepting iBurst that would be more possible than cellular roaming I would think.Wouldn't it?
