Whats wrong Iburst?

Also experiencing VERY slow speeds... I've reached my cap, but it's running so slowly it takes around 2 or 3 mins to load any page.
 
According to the iburst site

"Critical core equipment outage resulting in browser connectivity loss/failure."
 
Same here. Since 15:00 my speed suddenly plummeted from 650 - 31kb/s. It's so slow that I can't even view that image in the link!!! :eek:
 
Oh, so thats been the problem.

Its not that bad here, I mean that link opened fine, but some pages have been taking a while, only sometimes though.
 
iBurst has notified...

Hi there EHV

iBurst did put a notification on their telephone system that they are upgrading Cape Town base stations. However I tried to load their site to have a look at the network notifications, but the iBurst site isn’t loading at all.

Why can’t they send their clients and advanced notification by email?

Can’t understand the logic of this company, WTF?
 
Well, what's wrong with iBurst is its d@mn inconsistency! ..wow I'm flying, oh no where's my speed, wow I'm flying, oh no where's my speed...ad nauseam...
After two years of this, I think that, for my own sanity, I'll cancel my contract come 2nd December. Just wish Vodacom data wasn't so bloody expensive.
 
Well lets hope the "upgrades" do something!

Its terrible atm, but I guess if its at least planned then its not that bad, notification would have been nice though.

Hmm.. upgrading to 100mb maby :eek: lol.. no it cant be that.
 
but when they upgrade, won't everything just happed again as in we'd have nice speeds until more and more people get iburst & then congest the towers again?

Once that happens, the towers will probably upgrade again to maybe 200mb/s? At the moment Iburst has 25 000 customers. In theory, they would have to get more than 125 000 customers to congest the towers again. So it won't happen soon, if it does. And as I said they will probably upgrade the towers again.
 
I had the same problem when I was capped this month and called Iburst 2 times and baught 3gig bandwith and it helped a bit but i will be capped again this week and will stay capped untill december month.

I hope that they will upgrade there towers soon and double the cap or make the cap higher soon
 
Um.. what happened to the Cape Town CBD tower?

It was down, then degraded, now its off the list! :eek:

lol, im guessing its a mistake.. im sure they didnt just take the tower down out of frustration.
 
It's probably just a mistake. The CPT radio network seems to be fine again, it was degraded throughout the day. Guessing the tower is probably fixed too?
 
Removed the good tower no stuck with F%*& Gardens...

No mistake iBurst did remove the tower from service and left everyone in the CBD to connect to Gardens fo a while.

But it is back online, with a stonger signal, also Gardens has a stonger signal but lower speed.
