Ok so we are half way through this month and still my problems haven't been fixed! This is extremely bad service from Iburst, how long does it take to fix these problems seriously I was told this would be sorted out. I am tired of having to Complain about this and tired of phoning the useless customer support getting transferred from one department to the next and then getting the phone dropped in my ear after holding on for more than 15min:mad:. At the moment I have to manually monitor my own bandwidth usage because Iburst will probably cheat me on the bandwidth usage when they eventually wake up and fix the problem. I paid for my cap and I am entitled to it, I am also entitled to good service which I am not getting!!!:mad:


I was originally on the 1 Gig Package, I only use my connection mainly for WoW and from time to time for browsing. I decided to upgrade because 1Gig was to little for WoW per month.I am now on the 3Gig Pro Package from the 1September 2009 paying R489 a month.

Here are the Problems still Experienced from the 1 September 2009:
1. Contract Renewal date August 26 2037.( IBurst don't kid yourself with service and problems like this people won't be sticking around:) )
2. Bandwidth usage still says 0 for all stats.
3. Still zero daily Bandwidth usage report emailed to me.
4. Still zero Iburst Invoice for last month emailed to me.
5. 90% of time cannot logon to the Iburst website.
6. Got throttled the other day, was luckily able to fix it by rebooting the modem.

I will probably be disconnected or Throttled after this because every time I asked for something to be fixed something else gets broken:(

I want an Explanation why this is taking so long to fix, are all your customers not important to you Iburst?


Moral of the story: I do not advise anybody to take out any contract with Iburst I made the mistake and am now paying for it. In general Iburst can be a very good product but bad SERVICE DELIVERY and CUSTOMER SUPPORT is killing it.

Side Note: (I don't know if this should be like this, did the account format change?)
At the login example(eg bongani@[COLOR="Red"]burst[/COLOR].co.za or [email protected]) should be bongani@[COLOR="Red"]iburst[/COLOR].co.za it will just confuse people.( Bad Website Admin?)
 
Hmmm...

Speculation on Radio 702 last night that IBurst are in financial poo and may not be around for the long haul.

Doesn't help with your problems though... just thought I'd add my 300000000 zim dollars worth.

Seems like it, my login used to be "username@myburst", it's now "[email protected]" - found this by trial and error, no communication was sent at all.

I guess we can forget about a speedy resolution to the slow download problem, with double billing issues to be resolved, rumors to be squashed, etc, etc
 
Evening all.

Prometheus - Please get your contact detail through to me so that I can handle each query personally.


Thanks
 
I am visiting them in the morning

Did they double bill you as well this morning?

I am so glad to see that I am not the only one to be double billed.

I mailed them and said that I will be visiting them in the morning. They mailed me back saying that i have the option to get my money back, or they can keep it for October...

I replied that I will get in in the morning... when I visit them.
 
Hi Shaun thanks for the reply, I emailed my contact details through to you and awaiting your response. Seems like you are the only person who cares enough to do something about the problems that everybody is experiencing, I hope that they are paying you enough;)

Interview with Jannie van Zyl: iBurst CEO

Just some feedback regarding my original complaint.

The double billing problem was sorted the next day with great service from iBurst.

I also went and did an interview with Jannie, their CEO, and got some insight into what is happening at iBurst and the road ahead.
