Now 23:20 and performance is back to something more acceptable:

Maybe you should try the trips for improving signal like use an external antennae, try new hardware, etc. I also have poor signal in many areas of my house but

We had that when our company used iBurst in the Randburg CBD a few years back. Was great when we first started, but over the course of the year got worse and worse. Would speed up after 5pm, and be okay in the mornings until around 8am. They denied it was a congestion issue, but...

I do have an external antenna and my signal is 100%. May be you should do something to improve iBurst's network. I've been on iBurst for over 5 years and I know how it use to perform.

I've been having the same for over an year now. Lately it starts speeding up only after 23:00, even later...

Have you tried an alternative device?
 
I have to add that speeds during the day is pathetic out of a full month using iburst during the day 25 of those days would be slow, what I do not understand is that there suppose to be less people online during the day so it should be a lot faster than at night when people are home and playing online games and downloading etc, but it's just the opposite of that.

I have an external antenna and it helps a lot, but not during the day lol

I feel your pain...Had the same problem in Weltevreden Park. When I first took the contract out (this is now about three years ago), speed was wonderful. But then during the second year of the contract it got worse and worse, even though my signal never left the 100% mark. Eventually after about 5 months of complaints Sean came out and did a site inspection, helped me tweak things a wee bit. Helped a bit, but it was never great. But have to say that the speeds have been pretty good and stable this past year, barring one or two temporary glitches - but I only log on in the evenings when I get home, so I don't know what it's like during the day.

That is GREAT customer service. You can look into my account and see how much money iBurst had made from me for the past 5 or so years. And all you can offer is to BUY another one on 7 days. Thank you very much! May be I'll BUY another one but... from CellC or Telkom 3G as soon as their new HSPA+ becomes available in JHB.

The offer is to have a full refund if returned within 7 days. I appreciate your custom. As an alternative, if you are located in Fourways or Bryanston, please drop by my place and I'll loan you my personal unit.

My office is at the Campus in Bryanston. When can I see you to try another unit?

Tomorrow. Came to the office and ask for me. Wear an orange T-shirt and I'll know it is you.

I don't have an orange T-shirt. Do I have to get one from Neotel for free or from iBurst on 7 days? :p

Where is your office?
