Iburst is busy with the devolping of a new product, which claims to bring the latency down in online games, on spesific servers created by Iburst. If you want this special low latencies you have to pay them R70. With this R70 you get x3 your subscribed bandwidth for local gaming. Why do I have to pay to get a better service!Why don't Iburst just give us all this special product and make online gaming more fun on iburst!What other ISP charge their customers extra to give them low latencies!:mad:
I want to play on bnet with low latencies, so even if I pay the extra R70 it would be no use.

Ai Iburst, sticking with you is making no sense!!!:(
 
I don't think this is so terrible. You're getting 3x your cap for local gaming, you'd have to pay for that anywhere :confused:, and the lower latency servers that they set up obviously cost money and are really only for a few of their users. It wouldn't make much sense to do this free for only say 10% of your subscribers.

Kinda answered your own question right? Sure they could do it for free, but it's more a niche thing.
 
I've been watching this development with interest. R70 for 3x my cap (3x3GB) for local gaming, so my normal cap doesn't get used for TMNations racing, etc.? Sounds like something worth trying once...
 
It's iBurst - tread carefully. I still think it is sick that we should pay extra for unshaped accounts.
 
iBurst is happy to allow x3 the CAP for local for R70 bucks then how can they say in another thread that cheaper international b/w won't bring down our local ISP costs?
If their network can handle x3 local cap - for someone with 10GB account, that's 30GB local then, surely it can handle 30GB of international traffic. Sounds fishy.
