iBurst testers

[anakin]

To all those who have emailed me enquiring on how to become a beta tester - I am not employed by WBS, but merely a tester, I am unable to assist you. As far as I am aware, WBS selects their testers on invitation basis only.

Alternatively, you can try your luck at helpdesk@wbsmobile.co.za.

<br />From chatting to WBS they'll only be going full commercial next year - if so I'm glad to hear it !

This means more extensive testing has been done.
This means more towers have been commisioned and tested (they want 30 in jhb live before launch).
This MAY mean more extensive testing with a larger beta test group.

I am very happy to see a company taking a responsible approach to launching a service.

I believe ICASA has approved their license change already - so this is 100% legit.

While pricing may not be cheap it would hopefully be competitive - and right now that is what we as end users require.

I believe there will be a limited rollout in the next few months. However, this will remain mainly a test phase, when strategic partners, and select users are taken in as beta testers to test the network in an environment simulating more closely to the loads to be experienced in the commercial rollout.

If they do better than Sentech,then Sentech will running for the hills.

See`s Mr Winston Smith hiding under the bed "mommy make the Bad Iburst go away"

 

[malec]

Damn, they have ugly bitch ass modems, but I guess service and speed are the only things that matter

 

[malec]

This kinda looks promising since googling for "iburst sucks" doesn't yield any relevant results []

 

[playkiller no.2]

What about Iburst rocks?

Telkom you try and stop this,I swear I will hunt you down and remove you from the Gene pool.

Your time has come you can`t fight progress.

 

[Syzygy78]

[playkiller no.2]

Yes I hear the sound of drooling everywhere.

From their web site...

* ... E-mail based support is very very fast (10-15min turn around) and as a last option can ring their 1300 85 4678 number. Can't see this really an issue as iBurst homepage has a status page for all pop's and email you with advanced outages, but old chicken egg theory, no connection, no email.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Here's something Sintech could take note of - the aussies aren't all bad!

Those ugly bitch-ass modems with their little antennae do over 10KM's...

Remember that!
