Free iBurst bandwidth after midnight

Durandal said:
Dunno. Don't want to be a damp squib here, but is iBurst going to be able the logistics of this, or are a whole bunch of us going to find ourselves accidentally charged for massive bandwidth use by accident? I'll wait for a few of you guys to try it first, make sure it isn't showing on your Cap, and then go for it! :p

They've managed to get a semi-radioactive monkey that responds to the alignment of the sun, moon and earth which wakes it up at 23:58 every night. Then, using banana training, he presses a switch which turns off the monitoring system. What could possibly go wrong?
 
This is a step into the Right direction (but must be a permanent feature) . This might make up for the fact that you can't get 64K throttled speeds during the day, rather give users uncapped full speed during 12pm-8pm ( for 8hours)


My 2cents. Way to go Iburst, keep it up
 
What a pleasant surprise :D. I have but 1 question, if this does become a VAS how much will it cost?
 
I just hope that after the 3 month trial, that iburst dont decide to make it a VAS that has to be paid for.

And that is the million dollar question. Because now you still need to pay potentially more for something ADSL is offering at just over R1000 on a 4MB line, whilst best Iburst can do is 1MB currently. Sure ADSL also gets shaped, but still better than Iburst.

Steam works fine at anytime so far. So yes, this is great news.

Seriously, "uncapped" is not torrent only, get over yourself and be thankful that uncapped solutions are becoming a reality.

Steam works ok, but I often get disconnects and very annoying when downloading updates etc and you need to restart. So yes, I'm over myself. And why does Iburst have to throttle so badly and ADSL doesn't? <----Seriously. No sarcasm intended. Steam also does weird things, sometimes when I restart I simply can't login or other times I often get this game not available. try again later. Now that's probably more to do with Steam being the biggest load of crap under the sun than Ibusrt.

BTW: iBurst competes very well against ADSL on the uplink.
 
So I can start downloading from 12 PM until 8 AM tomorrow without any of my bandwidth being incurred?
 
I hope iBurst is ready to handle the P2P crazed users... From what I've read recently it is a major problem on wireless networks like iBurst Wireless...
