Bandwidth monitor broken on the website.
Is this how iburst starts off the new year ?
Is this what we can expect in 2010 ?

Dude/Chick run away screaming, iBurst is a sinking ship. Are you in a contract? Rather buy yourself out and cut your losses.

+1. I fully agree. iBurst used to be good at what they do. Now they're amateurs. I said good-bye to them 2 months ago after 5 years of good service.

Dusk, they've been struggling to get their bandwidth monitor working for months now. See my blog post about it here:

I hate to be in bed with Telkom, but hey, I'm happy again with rock solid bandwidth courtesy of ADSL.

Excuse: Bandwidth Monitor Broken due to Migration

The bandwidth monitor is apparently broken due to the migration of iBurst users onto the new packages. It took me multiple calls to their helpdesk, emails back and forth and finally a spewing of hate directly at them to get it resolved. It took 5 days with no explanation given but it is now working as it should. Good luck, don't go down without a fight.

But if the bandwidth monitor is constantly broken , how can they enforce capping?
If they dont know the usage , how the flying <censored> are we supposed to know?
