In an nutshell - after much complaining and escalation to executive management, iBurst conducted site-visit (free), installed directional antenna (free) and reimbursed lost bandwidth (3GB).

Sad part is, that you have to be a real pain in the @rse and keep on pushing them. I used to send them 2-emails a day, conducted speedtests every day and kept a log of the issues (currently 2 A4 pages).

After all that pressure, they did help and showed a decent level of customer service, just a pity that it is not standard practise and that their network is growing to quick without catering for the increased bandwidth demands of their customers.

ADSL installation date is 13th October. I am going to sell of my UTD (4 months old) and 1 Belkin N1 wireless router/accesspoint - make me an offer if you are interested.
 
lol almost wowed you? I thought you almost gave in to gettign iburst :D
 
About 1,5 years ago I purchased a new modem from I burst and installed an omni aerial which was fitted by a contractor.(Contrary to popular belief the omni worked for me)I had previously to that applied for a DSL connection and hearing nothing from Telkom m in those days about installation purchased the I burst products.With Techie cost 4000.0Ido not believe in contracts.One month later Telkom phoned and installed DSL.I have had no problems with my DSL connection but eish cancelling Iburst that was a problem.My Iburst modem is a expensive paperweight.No one in their sane mind would want one.
