Unable to access certain websites

I also think bandwidth shedding is going on, except iBurst is pocketing money on it.
Speeds pretty appalling this side too, even though not as bad as some postings here.

@ Jhbgirl

I wouldn't use the recommended DNS servers, since that way iBurst can block any sites they may seem fit.

Try using OpenDNS instead, that way you know no one is controlling what sites you can access. Here's the link on Wikipedia.

Cheers.

PS I'm also still using this terrible service until I move residence.
 
I've tried the opendns servers but they didn't make any difference.
 
Clients are unimportant to iBurst

I don get it. :confused:

iBurst phoned me and explained to me what the problems were on their side and they apparently fixed some stuff. They also mentioned that they will get back to me the following day. I am still waiting for them to get back to me.

iBurst was supposed to have had corrected the problems with connecting to https://mobile.absa.co.za
It was working for a brief period but now it is down again. :mad:
I tried connecting to it through http://youhide.com and http://www.zend2.com and I could access the site.

http://www.indotei.com and http://www.jalkapallo.org/superkolik/canon.html are still inaccessible however both are accessible through the mentioned proxy servers and really fast as well.

The IP that I was assigned at the time of testing was 41.208.201.121

It would seem that iBurst is either not interested in service delivery or lacks the necessary knowledge to do so.

PS. I also ran into some proxy related issues where I got proxy errors back :(
The proxy is opteq01.iburst.co.za and I found a thread on it http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=100163
 
Is there any way that we can all band together and run come kind of app that just generates masses and masses of traffic on their proxy server... maybe if we can consistently make it fall over, or make it cost them a *LOT* of bandwidth they'll make it go away?
 
Ridiculous

iBurst has been mostly buggered for most of February. Their new proxy server is useless, and today/tonight has been the slowest and most frustrating yet. 23 minutes on the phone to a Charlton Morris at iBurst produced an expected result: I was asked to email a list of issues to him and he'd respond with a ticket/reference number. Guess what? Nada.

I think we deserve a refund for February, quite honestly.
 
Yeah i'm with you on that one... have had endless k@k with iburst all month and now they still expect us to pay for crappy service...

Vodacom 3G starting to look really attractive now...
 
www.adobe.com

I've been unable to access the Adobe website since last week.
I wonder if other people have been experiencing this?
