13h10:



I had 40-70% packet loss on the server in Harrismith - then I called the representative.

14h10:




now the result from pingtest.net

"Acceptable. Your VoIP quality will suffer some, and you will have a disadvantage in many online games. Most streaming media will be fine."
http://www.pingtest.net/learn.php#grade

in my experience VOIP is not usable at all...

I know there is still nothing to write home about... but I have to admit this is still better than the alternative ( VSAT)

I get this also from time to time. on aaily basis, to any http address at random. Must admit, the last week or so it seems that this message is gone now, hope it lasts!

Are out of reach of ADSL coverage on a farm ?

I am surprised WiSP do not sell as this an option, you install your own ADSL
line at their PoP or a friend who is on their wireless network in Town and you use the ADSL Router as your gateway and not Screamers gateway.
(open to abuse as someone else could use your bandwidth, have to limit which source IP addresses can access the ADSL router)

You will pay a small fee for the use of the their network (last mile carrier) from Harrismith to your location

WRONG

Constant disconnects and messages saying "there is a problem with your connection.

What gives Screamer???

Great way to start the day!

[rebel998]

I am sure something got toasted by lightning last night. Battling to brows this morning. At least I can still open MyBB!

[rebel998]

MY APOLOGIES TO SCREAMER

Work was done on the upstream providers network and I missed my notification that was sent out on Friday.

Connection running smoothly again.

Thanx for the feedback Howzit.

[rebel998]

Looking forward to possibly upgrading to Screamer WiMax.

Thanks a plenty to the guys from Screamer and Amax in Sinoville for their assistance and kind help.

Online gaming's gonna be a real pleasure now!!

[rebel998]

WiMax is in and tried some BF2 on SAIX and what a pleasure!!

No hick-ups whatsoever.

Now I can brag with my internet connection to my family and friends again.

Thanks AGAIN to Screamer and Amax from Sinoville. You guys made my day!!

[rebel998]

Geewiz!

I can very happily report that I have just spent more than an hour and a half playing Battlefield2 on the SAIX server without a single glitch, disconnect or.....well anything.

Smoothe graphics all the way, man am I glad I am to be a SCREAMER!!

I will be checking the WiMax out further and will report back. (If I get a chance, between BF2 sessions!) I am fast becoming a big Screamer fan.

[Rocket-Boy]

Rebel, nice to see you going to be back on. I will teabag you a few times as a welcome back

[rebel998]

Ag ja thanks RB!

Now I have no excuse for sucking at the game. I used to blame my connection, will have to dig up another excuse now.
