Chariot announces wireless pricing
Dylan Repia | Friday, 2:45 pm | Wireless
Chariot has released competitive pricing for its new wireless service in Adelaide metro and South West Gippsland (VIC).
The plans start at $39.95/mth for 20GB at 1.5Mbps/512kbps speeds, and go up to $59.95/mth for 40GB at speeds up to 13Mbps/512kbps (available only in certain areas). Once the download limit is reached, speeds are shaped at a very reasonable 256/64Kbps.
All plans require a lengthy 24 month contract, and include a VoIP service as part of the package.
The service uses Motorola Canopy technology, which is similar to WiMax. The technology allows customers to connect to the service at distances up to 10KM from the access point, surpassing current ADSL services which typically become unavailable at around 5KM from the exchange.
Service availability, installation costs and speeds available are determined by on-site testing, which is provided free of charge.
Chariot Managing Director Robert Horlin-Smith said that Chariot plans to cover areas where it has an existing customer base first, with other areas to come later.

SA just keeps falling further and further behind! And how about that shaping!
The above offer makes iBurst look like a short-wave radio ham...
And this deployment is in Adelaide - the Bloemfontein of Australia...
