iBurst WiMax pricing

R855 for 512 kb/s speed and a 5 gigabyte cap? What were they thinking?

Another firm disappointment.
 
Prices Telkom related. Not realizing Telkom multiple times too expensive. :(

And unfortunately SA users so hungry for broadband that they'll go for such high prices.

And no pay-as-you-go per GB price.
 
is this a joke? with those prices they can keep that service more like a disservice
 
Can we get a comparison with Neotel WiMax for enterprise?
 
Just to note how bad ibust is:

A telscum 512kbps WiMax line costs R240 per month. Then you can use ANY ADSL ISP you want so here are some prices I got from Axxess: (you can get cheaper)

5GB Shaped: R299 (+R240 = R539, thus R316 less than ibust)
10GB Shaped: R599 (+R240 = R839, thus R358 less than ibust)

5GB UnShaped: R499 (+R240 = R739, thus R401 less than ibust)
10GB UnShaped: R999 (+R240 = R1239, thus R528 less than ibust)

Not to mention you have a lot more choice given that you can choose any ISP.

High prices and bad service - I think I'll give IBurst a skip thanks.
 
The thing I hate most about iBurst is their advertising. That broadband for R49 per month bs. You wonder how they make money with such high prices? they simply feed of people who don't know any better.

You see these prices and you just want to point and laugh at the person(s) who set them.
