More bandwidth, same cost

iBurstWhether this is due to the Seacom cable having been connected or simply increased competition is pretty irrelevant. iBurst has migrated my 5GB service to one capped to 8GB. Best of all, the monthly price remains the same and the purchase of additional data bundles will be slightly cheaper. From the press release, it looks like the per GB cost could be as low as ZAR 39.

Though it’s not been in effect on my account, stepping over the boundaries of ones allocated data bundle will no longer incur a per MB charge and no throttling of data will take place.

Though I’d still rather have a piece of wire to connect me to an exchange, until the time that that becomes a reality, I’m bound to wireless Internet access. The lower cost and higher cap will certainly be welcome.

    Yeah, I don’t think it’s got anything to do with seacom. Perhaps this new Ruling by the courts over Telkom, maybe as a result of competition. Who knows.

    Who knows, indeed – at least more bandwidth for the same price is a welcome change in an environment where everything always gets more expensive…
