If anyone got thier modem yesterday and is still trying to hook up today for the first time, I feel sorry for them !
Although I very much dought there's many new MyCareLess users these days.
I just got new laptop a few weeks back and just dumped XP of it and put on win2k + slackware - I hadn't installed the modem software on it and decided to that today to check whether the problems I've been having connecting to websites today wasn't just a tower issue.
Well, that turned out to be a waste of time, but on my drive around some of the "hot spots" in the JHB Northern suburbs, I couldn't register - got a "page not found" for the reg.mywireless.sentech.co.za - this is on a total default install of the modem, on a fresh copy of win2k
Blairgowrie - tower 22, where I live - nada
Near mintek - or rather the sports grounds - tower 22 also - nada
Cresta carpark - tower 66 - nada
1st Avenue Linden top of hill line of sight to brixton - tower 60 - nada
Delta park, by the school - tower 12 - nada
Craighall park, valley shopping center - tower 12 - nada
Hyde park, right by tower 12 - nada
Well, the coverage is good, if little else - I could not register, which I would guess anyone in JHB, Pretoria or Durban cannot register today either - not sure how long it's been bust for. Four towers in the JHB N.Suburbs area you can't register from.
I'm not suprised and I would imagine that the technicians are completely unaware that anyone hooking up the modem to a new computer for the first time will be unable to.
Luckily, however, as I mentioned just now, I don't think they have many new registrations these days [
