Laptop bundles from iBurst

Big no no

As an ex-iBurst user, I would not recommend ANYONE to take any of these packages. Their internet sucks, period. I hope new users realise that they will be stuck with iBurst for the next 36 months! It will be the longest period of their lives.
 
It's the beginning of a steady flow of offerings from providers to tie gullible consumers into lengthy expensive contracts just before cheap bandwidth hits our shores, thats what it is.

the best contract u can get is a top-up contract from voda (dunno if mtn has the same) because it's for cash - not data - and you'd be able to benefit from any drop in price. 1Gig = 1Gig, but R300 could be 1Gig today and 3Gig tomorrow...
 
So let's see, this offering gets you:

1. An average performance laptop from a vendor with a known history of shoddy service.
2. an ISP with a history of shoddy bandwidth and service (although slightly improved this last year, in my experience)
3. 250/500MB traffic p/m, above which you'd have to pay lots per GB, which would last you what, 5-15 days if you were lucky?

Ouch.
 
Thanks, but no thanks.

I'll rather stick with a 3g cellphone, a prepaid SIM and be good to go anywhere.

thanks but if I wanted to get robbed there are a few places up the street from me that would do it with a lot more delicacy than this offer.

Laptop OS likely Vista, so just add in the cost of a Windows 7 upgrade within the 1st year (probably the same for MSOffice) - Ouch, OUCH.
 
Generally I'd say you're a fool to get locked into any sort of contract which is just another form of hire purchase and more especially in these uncertain times. As for 500MB - I spit on it.
 
This is actually an insult...to our 'half' inteligent brains.

Do they really think we are sooo stupid?:mad:
Steve Briggs sure does so! (see article)

Cheap PC's:confused:, fast & relieable broadband:confused:... from iWorst???

Hook, line & sinker...again?!
NO THANK YOU!:D

Why they don't put so much effort in to actually doing what they were suppose to do....(or where doing) and bring FAST CHEAP BROADBAND to the masses?

Whoever get's this "package" better have 36 months supply of vaseline too.:eek:

The words "best" and "contract" should not be used in the same sentence.
 
I can remember when there was a time when iBurst was the cheapest and the best option available.

What happened in the time between then and now?
 
Fantastic - Can't wait now I can download 10 minutes of a movie. What a bunch of plonkers.
