so... is anyone actually using this?

TheRodent, although I might agree with you there, I feel that if WBS/iBurst will stand up to the demand when they do release, we need a decent amount of people actually willing to test this system. I also feel WBS will let you cancel no problem if you feel the service degrading, and find that iburst (thus far) is a better option than Sentech and ADSL (especially for those not fitted with mini dslams or whatever like I am)

I'm paying 450 something for a connection that gets up to 100% signal (usually) and is fast and responsive, when things change, I'd probably stay with them anyway, because they treat me right as a customer, the don't ignore me (although shiela should learn to call people back when she says she will) and they always give me a straight answer when I ask a question re: if the system is slow or if a tower is down or not, none of the "um, i have to check with 2nd level support" k@k we're used to.

If iBurst can get 2000 users in their prelaunch phase and still maintain the speeds and decent pings I'm experiencing international (especially using remote desktop to connect to my servers internationally) it means the system is REALLY tried and tested and can sustain a decent amount of users. Not like sucktech, that, even though more than 50% of their consumer base has cancelled, still suffers from terribly slow speeds. WHERE IS THE CONTENTION RATIO NOW B!TCHES!!!!!!!

btb, you're an ADSL freak Rodent [;)]
 
While talking to someone on another forum today I found out something not too good.

This guy said he phoned iBurst and they told him they were going to implement the 3gb cap as soon as their soft launch was over. I was under the impression that they were rethinking such a small cap and that it was supposed to be implemented during the softlaunch, not after it.

Anyone know if this is true?
 
Sure hope not - but even if one is downgraded to 64kbps - its faster than dialup (anytime of the day) and its practicaly ISDN (or have I got my facts wrong) - thats good for me!

All that I ask is that you try out a Mac - kilps
 
Ya it should still be faster than dialup, hopefuly they don't push lots of people onto one 64k connection when they are capped.
