iBurst will launch a new pricing model in April that will show savings on both its wireless broadband packages and booster bandwidth.<\/p>\n
The new pricing model sees the number of packages being reduced from the current 12 offerings to only 7 offerings in a quest for iBurst to ‘simplify its business’.<\/p>\n
Low end prices<\/strong><\/p>\n The low end of the market will be served with iBurst’s FreeFlo service allowing for 10 MB of usage per month at no cost. iBurst will retain its R 49-00 Kickstart service which allows for 40 MB of monthly usage.<\/p>\n iBurst’s Playa package will supply users with 500 MB of monthly usage for R 149-00 while R 199-00 will buy a subscriber 1 GB of usage.<\/p>\n These costs are lower than the previous R 195-00 for 400 MB and R 369-00 for 1.2 GB of monthly usage.<\/p>\n Higher end offerings<\/strong><\/p>\n On the higher end of the market iBurst has 3 different packages, namely Pro, Xtreme and Addict options.<\/p>\n iBurst Pro offers 3 GB of usage for R 449-00 per month while the Xtreme package gives 5 GB of bandwidth for R 599-00. The largest package called Addict allows for 10 GB of monthly usage at a price of R 999-00 per month.<\/p>\n These prices are significantly lower than the current R 469-00 for 1.5 GB of bandwidth and R 599-00 for 3.5 GB of monthly usage. A throttled 64 Kbps service is still available on the higher end packages once a subscriber has reached their monthly usage limit. <\/p>\n Booster bandwidth<\/strong><\/p>\n iBurst will also be reducing the price of their booster bandwidth packages in April.<\/p>\n The wireless provider will cut the price of its Booster100 package, offering 100 MB of usage, from R 89-00 to R 79-00 while the cost of the Booster500 offering will be cut from R 189-00 to R 149-00.<\/p>\n The price for both the Booster1000 and Booster 3000 packages remains unchanged at R 199-00 and R 499-00 respectively.<\/p>\n
