All of them are located in the economic powerhouse of Gauteng.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u201cThe figures for April 2007 tell a different story to what is commonly believed. One would expect areas like Sandton to convey heavy iBurst traffic but the fact is people in areas with limited ADSL access tend to consider wireless options like iBurst,\u201d said Thami Mtshali, CEO of iBurst.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">iBurst recently commissioned another base station in the Wonderboom area to streamline connectivity and prevent congestion in what has fast become the ISP\u2019s busiest usage area.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">iBurst said that the addition of the latest base station helped ensure that data bottlenecks were avoided before they had a chance to develop.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The company is also reporting its busiest month ever since launching its entry level broadband offering at R49 a month. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u201cCustomers are clearly impressed with the ISP\u2019s great coverage and competitive pricing as well as its delivery of high-speed mobile broadband Internet. It also helps that the modem can be delivered in less than 48 hours and set up in less than 30 minutes, so there&#8217;s no need to wait for fixed line installations,\u201d iBurst said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=76076\">Comments<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iBurst revealed its 5 busiest base stations, with the leader requiring an additional base station to alleviate the load.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wireless"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
