South African consumers of telecommunications services have grown accustomed to waiting for telephone lines, waiting for ADSL connections, waiting for affordability, waiting for someone to answer the helpdesk phone. Then there are those who have been waiting for a service revolution to oust the old order and usher in the new. For too long, the vague promise of revolution, which will not only solve the incessant waiting game but also result in realistic pricing, has remained just that. Vague.

However, with iBurst storming on to the telecoms scene as arguably the only independent provider of broadband in this country, long-suffering South African consumers finally have a viable alternative to the big three of Telkom, Vodacom and MTN; iBurst not only delivers a true broadband connection fast, but does so at rates that, at the entry-level, are the world`s lowest.
