iBurst clarifies data bonus offer

I am also using the month to month G9 Iburst contract and also want more bandwith for the price I pay and I am also waiting for more competition and uncapped connections for cheeper. When will Iburst upgrade to 2Mbit and more and will we need to buy a 2Mbit modem when 2 Mbit is out to get 2Mbit on m 2 m? another problem
 
Question to current iBurst users (month-to-month and contract) : is all this fuss really being generated over a measly 200mb - 500mb extra allocation?

I can understand protesting simply for the principal of the matter, but misdirected complaints have as much effect on reform as complaining to iCASA, the ASA, Competition Commission ... well basically anyone in government that has any influence (or lack thereof) on communications.

Having the option to carry over unused bandwidth on month-to-month is really useful IF the base allocation is large to begin with, otherwise in order to benefit from the carry-over you will actually have to use less than your allocation each month!

Makes one wonder what's happening behind closed doors in our ICT industry ...
 
I have just given up hope of acquiring iBurst. Clearly they do NOT intend on offering any kind of competition. I hope Neotel has a better offering when they launch their wireless. 3GB for R300/month would go down well as a start. And if I can use my existing HSDPA modem it would be even better.

NeOTel will not be implementing HSDPA, NeOTel will be going for both WiMax as well as CDMA2000 [EV-DO AFAIK]. Three different wireless technologies [read incompatible], and three different wireless devices for customers to buy...

As long as it offers me 24x7 connectivity at speeds faster than 256k, and at a reasonable price (less than R300) then I wouldn't mind...

Yes, sure, but my post was in response to Prometheus' hope of using an HSDPA modem with NeOTel, which cannot be done bcos apart from different frequencies, the technologies are also incompatible.
 
I've had it with being shafted by this useless company..

Rather the devil I know and once slaved for than sticking it out with a company that discriminates against non-contract customers.

I have also been told I am wasting my money on iBurst and for the same money I can get a sweeter deal with ADSL. The only crunch is the hard capping and since suffering cap of death I don't go over cap too often so it's almost a habit.

While I have enjoyed the benefit of no lightning problems I am willing to make a compromise as I feel the exhorbirant price paid for sh1tty pings is no longer worth it, and for a bunch of fsckers who refuse to allow me to use my own outgoing mail server. I am sick and tired of constantly having problems posting to this forum... logins not working and being kicked off the forum within 10 minutes.
