Why iBurst is so cool!

[kingrob]

With all the negative threads, thought I'd create a positive one!

Ok, here goes :

I really like the blue and green lights on my iburst laptop modem - it looks funky when you switch off the lights at night and you see the green light flickering!

I like how it flashes green for 5s then goes red for 3s. Reminds me of Christmas...

If wbs can get their heads out their behinds long enough and run iBurst as it's supposed to be run, then maybe there will not be sooo many negative posts.

blue LEDs are cool, pity my modem has to face the wall to get my sweet spot

 

[nocilah]

You got packaging? Wow!

 

[WitWolf]

Nope, mine did even had a cover on it. Dysan CD-R 193mb 24x. With IBURTS DRIVERS written on it.

You're lucky, I only got a modem, PSU and the cables for USB and nic.
No disks or any other info besides my username and pwd.

 

[RVFmal]

I like the fact that you know you are using iBurst cause every 5 minutes a little window comes up stating that iBurst has disconnected and is redialing to reconnect.

 

[alchamy]

I think The Rodent got the best packaging

Pure luxury. I received an incorrect username & pwd. I had to spend 20min waiting for an answer and 20 mins connected to the helpdesk to sort that out. I also received a CD-ROM disk that was totally unreadable. I had to drive to friend to get the drivers.

Yeah you're right as I also was supplied with the incorrect username & pwd.

Also had to wait +_20min for them to answer the phone, and about 30min to get the correct logon info.

I still had my leaseline so I downloaded the drivers.
That connection might have been slow but in 8yrs I only had to call the ISP 4 times to reset the modem on their side.
