The abusers are off now we got speed

or on the flip side if this speed improvment is permanent they're cut you off after you hit 4GB call you a dirty abuser and try extort a little ching out of you. This is exactly what I expect from someone selling weed, not broadband
 
i think the big debacle is how iburst did this. i can understand why they did this and some people will appreciate because they are getting what they paid for, while others will be MAD which is a justifiable madness.

had they canned users and sent an email saying: Sorry our 64K line is down please be patient while we repair this fault would it perhaps have been different?

I like WBS's hardassed approach... and if people want to complain about being labelled abusers let them, they can always leave the service.

And if they do it to you, in the same fashion, would you still feel the same way?
 
One thing being hardassed,

Another to go beyond the contract.

How can you understand what they did.

They should have enough bandwidth to give everyone a contended 64Kb!!

Nowhere to they state they will be disconnecting you?

I wouldn't feel so comfortable with I-Burst if I were you.

Let's say they can't handle all the users being online all at once, So then they send a mail and say that they will be disconnecting all users who's connection is not active!! Will you be happy with this?

Think not
 
it is? well i thought the big debacle was how wbs could just break a legally binding contract because they felt liek it and because some idiot made a mistake by not throttling certain throttled users.

the reason they didn't send an email saying "Sorry our 64K line is down please be patient while we repair this fault" was because they cant extort money out of you with that, and thats also a key word here, extortion

if they did it to me in the exact same manner i would leave the service to be entirely hoesnt with you. but first i would raze hell.

i think alot of people have been shafted unfairly but does it bother me or anger me? no because i am now getting good speeds.

You sound a lot like <insert name of other person here> when he was getting good speeds and everyone else got bad speeds. My whole point was that right now it mightn't anger you, but it might in future.
 
Copied from the other thread ...

yeah ok if I was one of the users that had slow speeds and today got faster speeds I would be downloading and probably loving it however I would also see that WBS seem to think they have the power to make the rules as they go along and break legal binding contracts whenever they please, they I would ask whens it goin to happen to me. Anyways the problem is not/was not the power users and I guarantee you are not all getting 1mbit right now and I bet theres some people in the exact same position they were in yesterday as far as problems are concerned.

maybe WBS decide later today they would be more profitable with 512kbit connections and then tonight without warning they flip the switch and everyone is on 512, then next week they're like "hey we could be more profitable with 192k". where does it end?

Methinks it's a wrap.

i am not saying it is fair or justifiable, but please bear in mind there are going to be 80% of iburst users who have no reason to be angry at this point in time.

That is a load of ... uuhhm, untruths ... EVERYONE paying money over to that company right now should be:

1. P!ss3d off - Do you really want to give your money to a company that operates like this;
2. Worried - When will this happen to you, if not now, today, at some point in time that day will come like a burglar in the night
 
I personally think 3 GB is excessive, it would be 10 times faster if you only downloaded 2 GB, you damm dirty leachers. If they feel no qualms about breaking their contract the first time, how many do you think they would have the second? Stuff that make it a 1 GB cap cause it's mobile like 3G.
