ADSL cheaper than MyWireless

I,m not flaming anyone, I dont do that, well i dont intend doing it anyway. I'm just making a statement as I see more and more comparisons being made.
Maybe its in the wrong topic and I should move it, its just that I have so little time these days to check the forum and when I do, I have a zillion purple topics to try and get through in a short space of time :)

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
 
Hehe DblD kinda reminds me of Finding Nemo... "It's like (s)he's trying to speak to me, I know it! You know, you're really cute! But I don't know what you're saying! Say the first thing again!" [;)]

Back to the topic at hand....

Assumptions:
<ul>
<li>download from international site only</li>
<li>Telkom ProLog account at R 249 per 3GB account</li>
<li>No overhead</li>
<li>No bottlenecks</li>
<li>30 day month</li>
</ul>

We're looking at about 158.2 GB in a month.

Now, in this case the MyWireless(512K bundled) cost : R 1449.00 pm
ADSL for a home user would cost: R680 + R249 + 52xR249: R 13877.00 pm

YES, this is an extreme case... but let's look at the price breaks....


If you are going to download anything more than 9GB in a month then MyWireless(ANY OPTION) is cheaper.

Just a thougt....

Well 2 "caps" is a little cheaper than MyWi 512k soo.. thats 6GB in and out. Which means probably about 4GB downloads. Thus, if you want &lt; 5GB downloads every month then get ADSL. Its still better to get 128 or 256 and ISDN for gaming if you really are fussy about pings.

The topic needs to be renamed.. ADSL is not cheaper than MyWireless since ADSL is 10x more expensive per MB of data.
 
exactly [8D]

At the end it all comes down to what you'll be using it for.

As an aside - while chatting to an ex of mine online she asked about "broadband" here in SA. She was bitching about a price increase - she's now paying 38 euro for 512K over cable - similar pings to ADSL etc.... less than R316 a month ![:(][xx(][:(]

Oh well ;-) ...

I must clearly state that the Uncapped ADSL service is more expensive than the Sentech MyWireless.

The advantages are, low latency times which lend themselfs to gamming and VPN as at the moment Sentech is dropping packets and this is not great for any VPN nor Remote Access, besides this, The MyWirless solution is an awesome product. ![:D]

DblD, No comment ! I would not waste my keyboard on you

Keep Surfing
 
I use my sentech 128k connection for VNC and I must say it really sucks. Although I still use it and get what I need done done. It just seems very iffy to me. I also cant seem to upload to local people ie. friends at work etc at any decent rate. If I send someone a file, it nevers maxes out my upload rate or their download rate but rather sits at 2-4K/sec.

I have tried Skype as well and it really sucks also. That may be due to my PC but I have tried both my sound cards and the only problem can be the internet connection and it must be on my end since the people on the other end chat fine with other people (overseas) with no problem. This is probably due to the massive packet loss (yes 10% is massive)

Otherwise its really good for browsing etc and the download speeds are relatively stable. Sometimes low sometimes high but I can live with that.

I guess ADSL 512k is *very* nice for that first 3GB. Thereafter it probably sucks. I wouldnt know since I never really considered taking the bait. I think R650 a month is a lot for 128kbps but R1000 for 3GB@512k is outrageous in my book.
 
the VNC problem, and possibly skype both come down to the type of service issue.

the simple way for me to exlain it would be as follows:

MyWireless - bandwidth service (focus is on data capacity NOT latency)
ADSL - broadband service (balanced capacity/latency)

This has already been discussed in another thread.

YES - I'm ignoring that broadband is defined differently in europe/US and that caps and ****e may be introduced .. blah blah blah

As to why you are stuggling with uploads ... mmm, not sure on this one but I've been pretty cabable of 10-12 K uploads on my 128K package...to be fair I've not tried it in the past 6 or so days....

Oh Mr. Dean H

You clearly have lot of vluable input here, we rubed eachother the wrong way, so be it, if you could find it within you to carry on good contribution to the forum, if any one approaches you for busines, take it outside the forum and make busienss, nobody minds.

Just please show some respect, otherwise this forum will take steps of any IRC chanel has gone trough, namly
<ul><li> forum starts with exchange of valuble information, </li></ul>
<ul><li> when critical mass of interest is achived, oportunists come in and start selling and advertising, </li></ul>
<ul><li>tempers flar up flaming starts, </li></ul>
<ul><li> considerable mass of interest drops for one of two reasons even exclusivity is neded to keep it clean or if no resources are avalibel to clean it up, peole look elswhere for information.
</li></ul>

Waht you say we do our bit to stop this form happening and call it a day?

I'll stop my belligerance and you stop ur advertising.
[:I]
 
MyWireless's inherent latency makes it bad for things like VNC, or terminal services, since you get that "laggy" feeling.

Other than that, it's great for just generic surfing, or downloading bandwidth. MyWireless+ADSL = winner. I don't even know when I get capped on my ADSL anymore.

Although most would see this is very expensive, the best package atm I feel is 256k MyWireless + 64k ISDN as the ideal setup.
This will give you better International pings than ADSL, gaming is cool and you can download 20 times as much as you can on ADSL [:)]

(normally) I dont struggle with uploads. I mean I can get up to 24K uploads and over 8K on a single connection. But it just seems that the paths between local modems/ISDN etc seems to be slow. Also from universities etc (high speed connections). Try send someone a file (with ISDN 64/128) via FTP/Yahoo send/HTTP and you may see what I mean. Even if both sides have 128k up and down it doesnt get close to half that.

I KNOW mywireless is not suitable for VNC but I use it anyways. Was just pointing that out for new users etc. If packet loss is 0% it will probably work way better. Now how to get 0% [?]
 
ISDN/ADSL with MyWireless ... yummy ... BUT our good friends Telkom aren't able to supply me with either[:(]

Dammit ;-)

TheRodent/ProAsm lucky bastards ;-)

hehe
