iBurst is to launch a 3 month trial where wireless customers will get free Internet between midnight and 8 am.

The free Internet access trial will be open to all iBurst contract and month-to-month wireless subscribers. The subscribers will be able to access the Internet for free during midnight and 8 am in the mornings, with no traffic being counted towards their monthly cap.

This announcement comes just weeks after numerous ISP’s introduced cheap affordable uncapped solutions, iBurst will be the first ISP to do something about their wireless products since the announcement of the uncapped accounts.

The service will first be launched as a free trial starting from July and if successful will become a value added service to iBurst products.

According to iBurst this is only the first of a number of initiatives which consumers can expect from them over the next three months.

“We are launching even more services to provide wireless Internet services at wireline-like pricing,” said Van Zyl.  “In addition, exciting new wire-line services are on the cards.”

I’m an active CTWUG member now for the past 3 years and since the beginning we relied mostly on Mikrotik routers to run our network, not excluding routers like WRT and Ubiquiti.

The good news is that Mikrotik has now stared penetrating the fixed line arena with their brand new RB750 router. The RB750 is a small five port ethernet router in a nice plastic case for a very special price, and yet – with all the power of RouterOS.

Even more it’s probably the most afordable MPLS capable router in South Africa at the moment. With it’s compact design and clean looks, it will fit perfectly into any SOHO environment. All this for only a mere R350 excl vat from Scoop Distribution.

With the indroduction of the cheap RB750 into the South African market Scoop Distribution has launched a competition where you can win one of 3 RB750′s aswell as subscriptions to SACM the South African Computer Magazine.

All you have to do to stand a chance to win one of tese prizes is to simply create a unique Router OS script that can be used with the RB750, scripts that are unique to the South African internet space will be favoured, this include scripts to split local and international traffic.

Get scripting.

If you are interested in buying the RB750 feel free to buy it from Scoop Distribution and just use the CTWUG account when buying to get it at the nice price of R350 excl vat.
