Good question to those that download for the heck of it.
 
you dont, you just archive it for later veiwing, which is nice on a rainy day
 
Interesting point Slim. You d/l en masse because you know soon you will be capped and wont be able too. Iburst says we cant have uncapped because of people like Slim download terabytes. All a bit of a chicken and an egg type thing
 
For some of us iBurst is our 1st broadband experience so who cares what we d/l.
It's nice to d/l a 100mb file in a few minutes.
 
if thats what iburst say then they're idiots, it has nothign to do with users like me, it has to do with profit margins and telkom owning infrustructure. if you take any broadband base, so lets say iburst's 2500 or so users, within the group you have the minority the power users, so if iburst gave us 100GB a month theres those of us that will use it but we're the minority, maybe 250. In any country in the world the soft users subsadise the power users, its just in south africa you're a power user if you want anything over 5gb a month. Iburst hasn't lost cash this whole time have they?

If you're trying to make me feel guilty its not going to work, the 3gb cap thing was decided before any users were on iburst and they told me my connection was uncapped so thats exactly how i treated it.

OK in sa thats alot but you need to understand anywhere else in the world this isn't even a big deal, and i'm not talking about US and EU, i mean brazil and kenya and stuff
