Missing the POINT
Ok I have read the entire thread ... yippy for me lol.
This is a never ending cyclic battle!
But ultimately the problem lies in us as South Africans, regardless whether I download 1gig or 100gig, I as a consumer of the service must be satisfied.
In this country we accept bad service and overpricing as the norm, hell we have even setup a commission to point out all the various elements that are basically ripping us off, to list but a few cars, banks and DSL so far all of thous industries have come under fire for overpricing and under servicing there clients.Pathetically this has to be done by a commission and not the consumer.
All I can say is instead of complaining that isuck sucks for hard capping, we as consumers should spread the word to all , to use DC hubs and torrents and as many other ways of utilizing the but minuscule bandwidth this country has to show that although overpricing is common, and lack of service is high we as consumers can stand out, In this case we can consume as much bandwidth as possible from as many people as possible put isuck on the spot and let them know that 1gig or 3gig or whatever gig package at a (SHARED bandwith of 1M) is unacceptable. Its obvious that not everyone will be a (POWER user), that does not matter, a user is a user is a user, everyone deserves good prompt efficient service at a REASONABLE price.
To put it globally I am sure that absolutely no person using broadband in America , UK or ASIA even RUSSIA thinks hmmm I wonder if I should not download this as I may hit my cap.... If this was the case youtube ,youpron ,facebook ,myspace ,blog whatever would not exist people all over the world want broadband internet that is fast and cheap and I mean cheap.
Yes the global (POWER user) base is probably 5 or 10% of the population but so is the group of people with IQ's above 100 does this mean because they are a minority they are not allowed to think, come on... the internet is there to be used if people want to use it supply them with a service they are happy with or go out of business.
Yes the usage listed in these posts seem crazy!
But what are we measuring it against. Is 40gig a high usage amount I believe this should be the minimum package, anyone using less has no business been on a DSL connection. We are so busy fighting with each other about whether one is abusing the other that we failed to notice that we are all been abused and accepting it with smiles, in fact we are paying for it each month.
I accept the fact that you get what you pay for but come on really what are we paying for .... R49 for 40MB please get serious R470 for 1.5GIGs .
Isuck needs a wakeup call if people want to use 40gig of local content sell it to them don't cut them off.
Its like saying I was born with one leg 30cm longer than the other, first choice cut the longer leg and make the stump as short as the smaller leg. Or break the shorter leg and make it grow you will be 30cm taller and probably get laid a lot quicker than been 30cm shorter.
My final words...
If Iburst does not come out with a 40 to 80gig local only package for no more than R250 not only will they not be laughing they will be left behind by my company or someone else's who is willing to provide the service. Were there is a will there is always a way.
