New coverage areas?

[kaspaas]

Hi,

at the launch, Neotel gave a list of areas that might have Neotel service.

Since then it was just quiet.

Time for an update I guess.

Or has Neotel gone stagnant?

I can confirm that there is NO coverage in the Brackenhurst, Alberton area of Ekurhuleni. But they said they will call me as soon as they are in the area.

Hopefully by then, they will also have some better handsets/routers available as well. I am envisioning keeping my Telkom phone for landline calls, but using the Neotel for the Internet as soon as they support Ethernet connections.

btw, the number to call to check for coverage is 0800-333-636.

Well Mr Panday did indicate coverage would double within a month not long after they launched. Must have meant one of those hundred day months

It would appear that the coverage area is much larger than the map would indicate if you are willing to use an external aerial. Robocop seems to be using the service in Boksburg which is presumably roughly the same distance from Germiston (covered according to Neotel) as Alberton (there may even be a closer tower in Jhb).

Is that the Leave your details and we will contact you as soon as possible thing on their website? I did that 4 -5 months ago regarding a BUSINESS fiber connection, and wanting to get the mega internet we need to serve 1000 plus people. I am still waiting...

How do you know that you get signal? Did you borrow a handset from someone? I know i have coverage where i am (Top floor of a flat, LOS to the WHOLE of durban), but i am like 1 road away on the neotel coverage map according to their unhelpdesk...

Isn't there like a coverage map, or something? If there is then either I have not been looking good enough or their website navigation leaves much to be desired....
