Good job.

I am by no means an iBurst supporter but this is definitely good news.

 

[MaD]

Nice. Does this mean that 3G / HSDPA is also now broadband again?

 

[Paul Hjul]

Its not good news - IBurst hasn't changed it business model at all. It hasn't offered to guarentee its services where used properly.

I wonder what effect the decision has on my Telkom complaint and whether IBurst didn't get a bit of support from them.

 

[MaD]

It hasn't offered to guarentee its services where used properly.

Neither has Telkom though?

 

[Paul Hjul]

Hence my complaint to ASASA on the matter:
TELKOM ADSL / P HJUL / 8238

 

[MaD]

Eish - Poor ASA

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

 

[Tanarri]

I think IBurst is cool and it's competition *cough international cough* to Telkom and all, but you just gotta love SA standards.

You have something a bit better than dial-up and you can justify it's broadband.

WAKY WAKY 56kb/s is so 1991 and 256kb/s is so 1996...

 

[Tns]

tsk tsk. paint it gray and call it broadband. telkom still controls everything coming and going.

I agree with Gatecrasher - what is in a name anyway? iBurst is iBurst is iBurst, tis neither here nor there.

iBurst, more like iSuck, they are worse than Telkom, when telkom gets flak they just keep quite, since they make enough money. When iBurst have a slight technical glitch which is 100% of the time, they play "smaller ILLEGAL wisps".
