Question of the Day: What is the ultimate French toast topping?
iBurst slashes WiMax prices
- Thread starter rpm
- Start date
This is certainly welcome news. It is clearly aimed at the business market, and it is encouraging to see that competition is starting to push prices down.

iBurst makes this sound like a good thing when it is actually LONG overdue, compared to the rest of the market.

Now if they drop that 5gig price to R350 I'd sign ASAP.

Not good enough.
I pay R300 for 2GB on a 2Mbps connection, for R267 extra I get 3GB extra. So that is 4x faster and more than R100 cheaper.

wow, those prices don't seem all that low. The old prices were really insane though.

WiMax pricing explained
iBurst WiMax may be expensive, but there is a reason for it.

still iburst. just dont have time to explain that there is no way i could have used up all that bandwidth because my package is smaller than that. whatever developments take place at iburst, will watch from a distance. just makes me feel safer...

Won't touch them, even if they get to be the cheapest of the lot.
This restores some of my faith in the South African consumer.
Clearly we were all clever enough to see though iBurst's BS justifications for their high prices, and refused to buy their product.
The only way they were going to gain any new customers was to drop the prices. I can only hope that this price drop is 'Too little, too late' and that they have lost a siginificant number of customers as a result of their greed.

They still have to sort out :
1. Accounts department
2. Their email server
3. Their network infrastructure
4. Get rid of throttling/blocking services (if I want to run a web/email server then I want to do so)
And there's other issues as well, but their accounts dept is the single biggest issue of them all.
But most important, not having a prepaid service really sucks.

Ah ok. Sounds fair.
I know a friend of mine had problems with his email a while back but he's never had accounts issues afaik. He seems happy with the service, although he is just your average websurfer, he's not into running web email servers and such.
