Hi folks

Just a heads up (as you can see from the other threads) that the iBurst servers went down early on Saturday. According to helpdesk it is caused by an ‘authentication problem’ and is being resolved… Article to follow later.

Regards,

RPM
 
Hi Halicon

I think it is more related to their web and mail servers...
 
ah! the very two things i do not use. :D

a suggestion to all iburst subscribers. phone help desk and get them to open your SMTP ports so you can use your own email.

and use bwmeter to check your consumption.

:)
