My iBurst is very slow...

actually, it is erratic...

At random (less than 10%) a webpage will load lightning fast, and for the rest iBurst is functionally a disaster.

Eg. the MyBB page initially loaded like lightning, the formum page I had to reload plenty of times, and then it loaded fast, and then I had to login which was a mission of failures.

Anybody else?
 
Yes this has been going on since iburst launched that uncapped after midnight package, The strangest thing during nights I can download a very high speeds during the uncapped period then morning comes and iburst just completely screws up, you will load a page which your browser caches and for some amazing reason that same webpage has to be reloaded again and then your internet experience becomes slower and slower, took me 30 seconds just to load this page.

I'm on iburst 24/7 and it's a nightmare to say the lease my bandwith usage has increased due to having to load or refresh the page all the time because it's not loaded properly caching works when it feels like it so yeah I don't really have words for iburst except that they are pathetic to say the least.

My prediction is by the time iburst wakes up there little pathetic company would be dead in the water anyone working at iburst need to find themselves another job before they will get canned anyway this is just me predicting the future for iburst.

If iburst would to have a flash forward there flash forward would be blank
 
The speeds during the day are pathetic! And it didn't start happening only after the unlimited bandwidth was introduced.
 
True my iburst was working fine for some time after launching massive complains and posting them on this forum, then 1 month later and I'm back to the start.

I think iburst should start paying us for using them as a service provider, I'm completely screwed at the moment can't work during day thanks to my iburst so work is falling behind, I can't change to telkom or neotel because I was clever enough to cut my service with them back in the old days when iburst were something to talk about, so now I have to wait for new line from telkom, and they don't have any more left in my area so yeah. Personally I feel iburst should just go bust so that someone else can buy them out and provide us the service we pay for and deserve, if it keeps up like this we are going to wake up one day and iburst will be gone and only a mere memory they can't even maintain what they have so how in the world will they ever be able to compete unless there marketing strategy is to Pi&*^ everyone of and hope for the best.
 
Speeds now are slow during night, most downloads cannot start and fail. Soon as 8am mark passes, all downloads immediately wake up, in spite that speeds MORE slower than during night.

The service I've been getting from them in the last few months has actually been quite good. I get around 900kbps after hours and no latency or speed issues during the day either. :D
