Broadband on steroids

hmmmm.....
Cheaper modems :)
Might be sold off :)

If they did sell-out to MWeb, just think of the better service we would get
 
That story sounds pretty dubious.

How can anyone justify R469 for 1GB of transfer???? 50GB - fine, 1GB? lol.. not for me thanx.
 
Wireless broadband operator Wireless Business Solutions (WBS), which offers i-Burst, is powering ahead, clocking up almost 10 000 subscribers since its February launch, according to chief operating officer Thami Mtshali.

Would that be 10 000 active subscribers, or 10 000 including cancellations?

Just curious...

MWeb would also increase the prices. Aren't they the most expensive and slowest ISP in the country?
 
Isn't Windoze the the most expensive and slowest pc OS in the world? And the most popular probably. Marketing... :eek:

Wow, the biggest amount of spindoctoring seen in the last few years. They're just BEGGING to be bought out.

No analyst will be fooled by their ruse.
 
It's not 10 000 subscribers, It's 9500 lottery machines and 500 subscribers with outstanding cancellation documents....
