New ADSL packages from iBurst

New, cheaper ADSL packages from iBurst

iBurst has revised its capped and uncapped ADSL packages, offering better value for money to subscribers

 

[Hummercellc]

Anyone know what backbone this is on? IS I guess?

 

[Big Bean]

iBurst has their own backbone don't they?

 

[AshTV]

How's the speeds on iBurst?

 

[Prof.Merlin]

Yar, IBurst runs on their own network.

 

[MickeyD]

Any info on their AUP on uncapped, shaped packages?

I am looking for something to supplement my 8ta 10+10gig deal that is going to run for the last 12 months of it's contract. This Iburst offer seems reasonable but after reading some of the feedback in the Iburst threads I get no sense of comfort whatsoever - especially some of the dismal speedtest.net results.

Is there a way to test the speed from my location before committing to a purchase? But even then the fear of no consistency to speeds due to congestion is a problem...

I guess this is what will happen when people are starved of decent internet connectivity...

Well done iBurst, you're only 2 years too late to the party!

hmmm there 4mps uncapped seems cheap , but it is probably throttled to death.

20-40KBps

 

[LinuxMan]

That's why, thought there was a catch... they throttle you down so bad.. It is not uncapped then, right? :/

20-40KBps

 

[pjjdp]

Is I-burps still relevant?

 

[snobee]

Hmm, in the past the more knowledgeable would not touch them with a barge pole. Have they changed?

I'd say this is cheap enough to give a shot for a month or two. Maybe all the bandwidth hungry advanced internet users have drop them and there are only 5 old tannies using them.

Where can I check the coverage?

Coverage?

Whever Telkom has an ADSL enabled exchange.

Can anyone confirm that their ADSL network runs on the iBurst backbone and not IS?

Ouch! IS? We peer for free, unlike them.

We have an IPC with Telkom like everyone else. We provide our own broadband. The network is built on Metroethernet using kit from Ciena. This network stretches all the way to Telehouse in London where we pick up transit from telia and cogent.

In ZA the metronet is on a 10 Gb/s ring that connects to peering points at NAP and JINX.

The IP Core is Cisco and is located at dual data centres at Midrand and Gallo Manor.

Damn, only realise now they're talking about ADSL...moving along then

No peering with CINX?

 

[r00igev@@r]

No peering with CINX?

Yes there is peering there and also at DINX.
