Broadband company Wireless Business Solutions (WBS), provider of wireless broadband solution iBurst, has announced i-Go, a new service, which makes connecting to the Internet more affordable for many South Africans at R299 per month.

The i-Go offering provides up to 1 Mbps (megabits per second) - which is the speed of data transfer - of data connectivity with a 500MB limit, which can be topped up for R139 for a further 500 MB or 1GB for R229.

"Consumers can now purchase iBurst on a monthly contract and should they not exceed the 500 MB limit, enjoy the use of high speed access for email and web browsing without the hassles of dialing-up each time," says head of sales Antony Mckechnie.

i-Go is ailed at low bandwidth hungry individuals who require a permanent connection to the Internet at home, their office, or from wherever they are.

Now both the user who has a desktop computer or a laptop can have a wireless connection at a very affordable monthly fee. All that is required is a wireless modem or laptop card which can be purchased from WBS, iBurst Direct, or through selected Hi-Fi Corporation stores, and a once-off activation fee of R114.
