    The Poynting antenna discussion thread

    I asked this in a Telkom thread but it seems not very active so here goes again. Those big rectangular antennas which I believe are identifiable as Telkom. All have multiple cables in at the bottom so obviously many internal antennas. Of the 4 towers around me ( from 260m away to 1250m) that...

    Hi all Looking at dropping my ADSL line and going to this Axxess 60+60 setup. Router probably Huawei B525-65a or B618-65d from huaweistore.co.za (both R1,999) Which is better and will these be ok on the Telkom network.
