How many mywireless users are active ?

[Gooku]

Does anyone know how many mywireless users are there in SA already ?

Telkom took about 18 month to reach 12,000(adsl users),I think Sentech can do it in 3 month.

12000 ???
I made a proggy to ping all ip addresses in the range 165.165.xxx.xxx and after many hours it came up with 4630 or thereabouts. Granted that was about 4 months ago but still.

12000????? Where the hell did u get that from?

there is a simple shell script :P
for ((a=0;a&lt;255;a++)) do for ((b=0;b&lt;255;b++)) do ping -c 1 165.165.$a.$b | grep " bytes from"; done; done | wc -l

isnt that 'orible, anyway. Even 5000 seems high to me, alot of what you will get from that is routers and things (which have a couple IP's each usualy)

I think Sentech got more applications than that in the last 3 months :)

nmap -sP 165.165.0.0/16

Not that you'd ever wanna do that.

broadcast addresses will reply, and like Kar says, routers, switches. And guys running firewalls will probably not reply

"Mywireless Users" ?

I saw mention of IP range 165.165.*.* ?

Well I think we should be careful with that range. My brother has Telkom's ADSL and he gets ip's in that range as well. He does connect through mweb though I dont know if that makes any difference but bottom line is that he uses Telkom ADSL.

Telkom claims to have around 12,000 ADSL users in various press
release lately.

I think his point was that you can't estimate the number of MyWireless users by simply counting the number of machines in that IP range that respond to pings because there are also ADSL users using that range of IP addresses (if he is correct). So you're counting both MyWireless and ADSL users in the IP subrange, and there is no way to know how many of them were MyWireless users (or for that matter other things like routers etc)

ADSL Ip Addresses start with 165.165.......
MyWireless Ip Addresses start with 66.18.........

Hope that clears up some of the confusion [;)]

Oh!! I guess I misinterpreted something too ... thought you meant that you were pinging 165.165.* to count *MyWireless* users :)
