What IBurst Think

...In the abscence of conclusive proof, that is all your very 1st post under the member name THX1138 is...I never said that I didn't believe you, right now I am not prepared to say that I do beleive your allegations either...I have also stated that your allegations are serious enough for WBS Management to provide an official response...While online anonimity is important, hiding behind a new member name did nothing for you...Your topic is important, especially to those who already have iBurst, your topic is equally controversial...WBS Management should respond

LoneGunman (aka THX1138),

Thanks for coming out of the closet as it were, also I do appreicate your posts as THX1138 including the first one.

Please note that I would've been less suspicious if you had just posted from the start as LoneGunman.

One thought that occurred to me was: you might be one of those Suckingtech wraiths/orcs running interference & deliberately trying to cast dispersions on WBS/iBurst waters.

Not even taking your last THX1138 post into account, I do believe that enough time has passed, and WBS Management's lack of response is sufficient indication that thou hath spake the truth.

If I had the money to shell out on the UTD, I would have done it, but I have posted elsewhere that I am saving up to buy the UTD outright and switch to 30d notice - that is if WBS stick to what they told Noone (*allegedly*) ;)

I won't be posting again, unless I run across something else of use for forumites, as in this case. So hold off on wasting energy on flames :P )

About that, I really don't think myself or anyone else intentionally flamed you, if you took it that way - I apologise, my personal intention was to give WBS the opportunity to respond and defend their opinions, so please stick about & don't take it personal like :)
 
Hehe, the elusive LoneGunman returns... and departs ;) I find it unfortunate that you'll be leaving us again despite the fact that certain members take exception to your postings. Personally I have no doubt that what you have conveyed to us is the truth and I certainly will be holding off on iBurst until they bring something more reasonable to the table. If I wanted a 3 gig cap I would go for the more reliable option with better pings aka ADSL. Those boardroom guys must be smoking crack if they truly believe "mobility" is the most important factor. If I wanted mobility 3G is just around the corner and it'll be useable in a FAR larger region than iBurst.
 
Yep Perdition, you be absoluto correcto.

I'm still singing this tune: WBS will fail miserably if it doesn't do its market research right now, in the end it was clear that Sentech didn't want power users (anymore? / from the start?).

WBS Management also don't want power users (they aren't denying anything so it is highly likely to still be their line of "thinking"), and yet they continue to think that Joe Public is prepared to pay between R600 and R700 per month for a connection to do their email, come on W-BS-M get real, smell the daisies that are about to surround your tombstone!!!

Here comes total failure 2.0 aka WBS' I-Go-Nowhere.
 
Back to the "Is 3gb a lot ?" question/surver raised by ic.
To me - yes it is when I don't need more, but sometimes I do, and, sometimes I only use 600 MB, and feel ripped off cos I didn't use the full 3GB.

Lets see - about R 650 for 3GB = R 216 for 1GB = R 108 for 1/2 a GB. If a service provider would charge me R 108 per 1/2 a GB used, then i'd be as happy as a gamer with a direct 1MB line to the gameservers. It would also stop us from downloading like maniacs at month end.

Oh - damn - this is far too simple a solution - I must be missing something.
 
Yes the bit where you get to shaft the customer, you're clearly not cut out for business. Go join a commune or something, dirty commie hippy.
 
I don't want to be hunted down and tortured by gamers, but I don't think iBurst is suitable for gamers (get the hint - gamers get out of my playpen!), seriously the latency on iBurst is what should keep 'em shooting up somewhere else...

I doubt WBS will want to be stabilising latency anytime soon.
 
Yeah the technology is not ideal for latency dependant applications, but it's still better than a kick in the ass. I'm really just arguing the point out of a sense of moral outrage, I'm far meaner when it's something that affects me :)
 
Guys, I think the bottom line here is that ADSL is less expensive, more stable and reliable, and far superior than both Wireless technologies we've seen so far.

LoneGunman, I can't believe that you went for another wireless dark horse again dude. ;)
 
I'm ressurecting this thread specially for all those newcomer iBursters that haven't read all the important iBurst threads yet. Start at the beginning, as all things do, work your way through to the end, this is a historical thread & will give newcomers that never have any problems some perspective on what they're getting into. Happy reading, Enjoy!!! :)
 
Iburst opinions out to 22000 JHB readers

Well after reading this thread, it appears that iburst does not want to hear what we have to say, and after reading what management thinks of us as the 'minority', I am even more upset.

Well, as for their monority.... I have a mailing list that goes out to 22000 people in Johannesburg twice a month. I will be sure to tell all the readers what IBurst thinks of them. Abusers........ a minority?

Well, I will show them a minority. Until they start responding to us here, 22000 readers will twice a month, get a segment dedicated to what I think of Iburst. (and its their target market)
