Anybody have NeoConnect Lite?

[War_Lord]

I'm interested in getting the NeoConnect Lite unlimited when they get to my area.

Can anybody please tell me what speeds and latency you get with it?

Hey I am on Neotel Lite, as in my area it was the only availble service.
I've to say it's seriously a terrible service

This is a dial-up service - I'd not recomment signing up for this package.

Downloading at around 8 kb/s contantly
I am going to cancel right away with Neotel..
As their service is pathetic, and they never gave me the right drivers nor anything.

That to me says that the towers in your area are connected using microwave and not fibre yet.

I say the service will improve once the prime becomes available.

How many "bars" of signal strength does it show on your phone device?
Have you considered using an external aerial like Robocop?

I'm using this self made arial http://www.perite.com/vk7jj/NextGYagi.htm
