Last month I had prety much what i-Burst had promissed - 64 Kbps, unfiltered, unshaped bandwidth that I could use for whatever I like - and I like using that to serve some E-Mule traffic.

From the begining of this month I see that WBS set something called cache-01.jhb.wbs.co.za (196.2.127.9) to blocks the default E-Mule TCP and UDP ports.

Why?
 
Iliyan, the problem goes away when you cancel iBurst and get an ADSL :-)

That's what I did :-)
 
and after you get adsl be sure to come here and tell everyone in every thread about how you cancelled iburst for adsl

I knew there was a reason I enjoyed reading your posts.
You must enjoy fishing.

Fishing, a definition: Dragging a fish out of the water where it can suffocate to death.

On topic: I'm sure iBurst will do fine, eventually.
 
JasonH, with 30 GB per month, I don't think I will ever get capped :-) So I am not worried about that! Capping is to worry about with iBurst because it comes at about 6GB (for the same price you get 30GB on ADSL)! Well, I know it is 5 times slower (192 kbps), I can live with that!
 
30GB accounts from Axxess and AYCE (look at the adverts at the top of the forum).

You can read review of the account on the ADSL forum. The accounts are exactly the same as the Telkom accounts, except for the cap! So there are no proxies and other bullsh*t! And they really work, apparently!
 
slimothy, I am perfectly happy with dial up, it works 100% for me, including for P2P, if the InfinitiCall was valid during the week, probably I would have kept using dial-up for few more years ...
 
sword - is infiniticall no available from 7-7 on weekdays? thought it was.

Thats not really true, Telkom Internet (their ISP department, not the line provisioning department) will perhaps cap local traffic. Now if you go to www.hellkom.co.za you can literally see 10's of ISP's offering different caps, different products and different prices.

Now, with iBurst, you don't have a choice, you HAVE to use their ISP, you can't just switch to a different service provider on a whim like if you have ADSL.

Please note, there's a difference between the physical line, and the internet service provider part. As RPM put it, the ADSL line is the body of the car, the ISP part is the engine.

Yes they do, and the reason why they don't call it the R7 call more plan is because it's R8.20 or something now. Whenever I release that bit of information, people IMMEDIATELY check their itemised billing (no idea why they don't in the first place!) and gasp when they see it :)

Would it not be the other way around ? i mean the engine is the same - telkom - (same k@k speed)

but the body can be changed - all different isp's using the same stupid telkom line in the end
