I see that WBS has now changes its name officially form WBS to iBurst, to keep in line with a good brand name..... I wonder if they can live up to that?
Maybe better is to reduce prices, that would be a good start
 
Could you post a link to something official regarding this?

I find it hard to believe that a company will change their name to ONE of the products, since they do other wireless work, notably the Lottery network http://www.wbsmobile.co.za/
 
I got the e-mail last night, PDF attachment:

Dear Valued Subscriber,
Growing companies go through many changes that are exciting for both
customers and employees.
Everybody wants to be associated with a winning company projecting an
image of leadership while staying true to its founding philosophy.
Central to a company’s brand and image is its name. A name should inspire
confidence and it should conjure up images of cutting-edge products and
services.
With this is mind, Wireless Business Solutions (WBS) would like to inform our
loyal customers that as of 1 April 2006 the company will be trading as iBurst.
We are in the process of adapting all correspondence with you to the new
name and should have finished the migration by June 2006.
Please note that the name change will have no effect upon our contractual
and billing relationship.
We’re sure you will have noticed that iBurst has been very active in the
marketplace recently. While many changes have been implemented at iBurst,
all of them have been implemented with the single-minded ideal of exceeding
your every expectation.
We have expanded our call centre to be able to provide 24/7 technical support
to customers in line with our desire to focus heavily on customer satisfaction.
We are keeping our promise that current customers will be the first to
experience the benefits of the new look iBurst thanks to massive investments
in network quality and coverage and a focus on hiring the most capable
customer care agents in the industry.
Also in the news is that we have moved our head office to new premises.
Henceforth you will find us at 66 Park Lane, Sandton.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact our
customer support centre either via telephone (0861 086 086) or email
([email protected]).
Your support is valued and appreciated by all at iBurst.
Yours sincerely,
iBurst

:).Aha, that's rather sneaky - they're probably not changing their name officially through CIPRO, they're just 'WBS trading as iBurst' :).
1 April 2006 caught my eye in that sentence :D

iBursters could call WBS' April fools bluff & refuse to pay any tax invoices that have anything other than iBurst on them :D.

/me files this one away under "Useful tips"

Oh, wait, I don't get any invoices, do I? :D
