Pazienza - for now

I agree fully with Arthur. I will be signing up with iBurst down here in the Cape within the next few days because I believe they are the only technologically viable alternative to landline-based ADSL (assuming, of course, they sort out their issues before 31-3-05). You don't need a degree in rocket science to figure out that Sentech jumped the bandwagon in their haste to compete with Telkom and thus launched an immature technology that will only be fixed by investing R100m's more. You can, of course, go with the fly-by-night wireless operator who is illegally flogging an 802.11g connection from his backyard (doubtlessly using ADSL for his bandwidth and sharing it with 50 users). If you just look at the cost/MB to deliver a signal, iBurst comes out tops over 3G, Sentech, Wimax and all the rest. This simply adds up to one thing: if and when the price wars do begin (hopefully soon for our sakes), iBurst will be the only one to be able to compete with ADSL on a cost basis. So yes, I am willing to pay R454pm for now in the hope that things will work as they should by 31-3-05. If not I can always go back to paying R650 + landline rental for a 384kbps connection (which in my mind is still nothing short of daylight robbery). And I agree that WBS should communicate more with its customers and I will let them know that....that is the one thing that stands between them and success. Until it comes to launch I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to other issues.

Who the **** ever said they're going to launch on the 31st of March? Their launch date is 1st of March you stupid stupid people
 
I suspect it's both :D

As for launch date - it was supposed to be "at the end of March 2005", which I interpret as being April Fools Day...
 
Mmmm, the only thing I could find on their website about a launch date was a press release done on moneyweb stating end of Feb.

And no, due to work stress and deadlines, I have shortend the amount of relax time (aka, sleep) I get to boost my overall preformance @ work.

And again, no, I don't drink coffee. It only makes me hyper and I have some serious ADD when it comes to working, coffee only makes it worse... (thats why I post so much here during the day.... that and I type at 80 odd words a minute)
 
IC, stop posting for g0d sakes! you have less than 10 posts to go and you'll beat me!

The, so called, discounted price is until the end of March 2005. "for the duration of the soft launch" unquote.

Yes, you pay a month in advance you dope head, meaning, 1st march is their official launch date and people signing up will pay *gasp* the full price
 
Noone, dude, launch does not start on any day in the month of March 2005 - it is still pre-launch up to & including 2005-03-31. As to whether launch will be delayed, anyones guess...
