Purpose of this thread is what exactly?

Not too sure. I have this feeling that it has to do with sex across the colour line.

Don't Feed The Trolls

Troll: Internet luser who gets a kick out of making inflammatory statements and watching total strangers react. Trolls need a steady diet of outraged replies and barely supporessed fury in order to survive and breed.

The moral: don't feed the trolls. They soon starve, and move on to greener pastures.

Me downloading some stuff @ over 100KB/s. Look at the graph at the top, pretty stable would'nt you say? And I'm not even in a hotspot!

Useless - iBurst or "Researchers"

Facts have always been better than fantasy, although often not as interesting. Here we have a case which is neither fact nor fantasy - merely an intellectual tragedy! The "researcher" may well profit by reading the 'iBurst Antennae" thread to gain a small measure of insight as to what research is!

Yes, we all have moments of extreme frustration. Throwing the toys out of the cot may alleviate a measure of frustration, but will always expose oneself to unwanted critisism of irrational behaviour.

The "researcher" can only be lambasted for irrational comments and behaviour in addition to being critisised for unimaginative use of crude expletives where factual expression would have been credible.

So House, how much does Telkom pay you to post crap like this?

They should ask for a refund, because to call your efforts amateurish would be a grave insult to true amateurs everywhere.

Do you believe anyone will take you seriously when you say that iBurst download speeds are worse than dial up? Your efforts at propaganda would be so much better if they were at least half believable. It's back to the drawing board for you, I'm afraid.

How incredibly insightful

House, please, if your going to spend way too much time doing something totally futile then atleast have the smarts to make worth while.

Who (other than yourself) is actually going to go through all those threads verifying whether or not each really relevant to a problem with iBurst?

Ekhaatvensters · Dec 5, 2006

Look we know there can be problems, but it can also be fine. You have NO proof, and if it doesn't work for you then too bad. It can still work for others.

noswal · Dec 5, 2006

We can probably make over 20 pages of links of what people think about telkom

but I think this one sums up your situation

Totally agree with you. There are a lot of us that don't have any issues with iBurst. There are a ton of ppl that have problems with ADSL, so should we also just throw that out of the window??

If it works for you, keep it, if not, switch to something else.

MrH · Dec 5, 2006

House, nobody here is blind we all know iBurst has it's fair share of problems which hopefully will be sorted out in the near future, and as EHV says "if it don't work for you too bad"

Can't say it's working too well for me right now but I expect it will get better at some stage.

As for reading all those threads, well I'm sure most of us who have been here for awhile have already read most of them and made our own comments where we saw fit.

I think if you could find a way of generating energy from those posts you'd rid Cape Town of power problems for the rest of time.

I think "House" is Ed Hall. He just wanted to read some positive feedback for a change. Good one, Ed.

How many of you guys on this forum has read these threads or are you all just plain blind? These are a few links from only the first few pages in this thread (need more reasons to stay away from iBurst?):

Hey my favourite mad scientist is back.

Okay Dr House, since you have been researching iBurst can you please post your findings that all iBurst connections are worse than dialup?

What? You mean you can't prove your idiotic statement...

This thread and this response in particular has put a smile on my face

Ed Hall · Dec 6, 2006

Nice one Gatecrasher, made me laugh too.....

Yes I would like some positive feedback, but I would never go to this length to get it!

I don't mind criticism, I really don't, but it needs to be backed up with some facts. iBurst is not perfect and we make mistakes, but we learn from them and fix them.

OMG, you guys can't be serious!... It's like seeing 10 taxi accidents on your way to work and believing that the bad driving will stop!

I am busy compiling the findings and you guys will see it first. Fact is, iBurst is useless. Unfortunately some people were duped into signing contracts and now have to live with this nightmare.

What is the matter with you guys, are you not spending too much time online? Maybe some pills might do the thing for you - try Zanors and a few hours of being off the Internet - Sh.t!

Useless compared to what? ADSL? Don't make make me laugh.
