Also I am getting repeated mails getting sent to me as well.

I am unable to currently send out mails.
 
I am rapidly getting the feeling that this/these 'new' connections iBurst is switching to in the next few weeks are going to be a make or break situation. There's just been too much chaos going on with iBurst in recent weeks to ignore it. Either the problems are being caused by the switchover, or they are happening in spite of it. But whatever the case, there's just been too many problems in recent weeks to ignore. Something is just not right here.
 
If Iburst was more customer friendly and told everyone what is going on we would be more patient. The last update on their website was when the seacom cable went down. Strange how quick they were to post that. In the last month there have been more than a ten outtages from short to long but there is no mention of it on their site. But except for one person it falls on deaf ears. Unfortunately it may be to late for them to recover. Once they were considered a force now slowly the force is against them. The patience is running thin with the choices that are arround us now. When does a service provider get into bed with Cell C. It makes you thin very carefully
 
Problems again now, everything is slow and showing tons of packet loss. I cant even email.
 
Microwaves?! We have iBurst MICROWAVING US in the west rand, and those idiots elsewhere were complaining about a mere tower! ;)

No wonder it was so hot last night. More heat than whoooosh! And I can say that freely 'cos iBurst sells CellC. Still haven't worked that one out yet.

So, the Reader's Digest version of things is: Another Day, another iBurst breakage. *sigh* How many more things can break there?! Seriously?!
 
We are currently experiencing issues on the microwave backhauls in the West Rand. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve the problem.

Is there any problems in the Boksburg/Benoni areas? Current have NO signal :cry:
 
Is there any problems in the Boksburg/Benoni areas? Current have NO signal :cry:

Starting at approximately a quarter to seven the following areas were affected by bad weather: Randburg, Bryanston, Germiston, Springs, Boksburg and Benoni. If the conditions are bad enough to affect a DSTV signal then it would most likely be affecting back-hauls as well.
 
Everything's slow. Luckily my Cell C Speedstick is on order. **** IBURST, **** THEM DEAD.
 
Once again down goes Iburst down in the Krugersdorp area. Not a week goes by without problems
