BitCo Consumer Review

No problem.

The other switch ports are disabled and reserved for future services such as IPTV etc...

So no one here besides me gonna bug Garth for saying "IPTV" :P ? . I would surely like to know more about these future plans .. , if it's going to be anything like their internet service , sign me up right now :D

When is the service going to be available. what can we expect and how much?:)
 
Hi Garth

Around the 1Mbps upload speed on the 2Mbps and 5Mbps packages; is this just a limit imposed by Bitco or is it a limitation of the infrastructure?

If just a limit of Bitco, would you look at increasing this for a fee, like a few of the other providers do?

Asking as roughly once a month I have to upload a ton of software patches, and sometimes it comes to quite a few Gigs, so it would be handy if it could be done?
 
Now I am even more confused, I thought "If they find that there is line of site, they will install immediately" so I had to be home for someone to jump on the roof, look at a hill and say ok they will call to arrange an install date?!
 
Garth, any light at the end of the tunnel for some more towers covering the Weltevredenpark area?

Hi TyronDanger

If they cannot install immediately they take pictures back to the office for review and a decision will be made if the link will work or not.

Would this be of interest to many subscribers of the service? We have been looking into this.
 
Hi Garth.
Line was handover today.
Thank you download and browsing is awesome.
Just need to get the netflix and other streaming services sorted. Currently they are not working. I logged a ticket with support.

Great to have you on board No-Rules!

You can also chat to some of the users on here who have Netflix working with Unotelly etc.
 
Thank you for having me.
I don't use unotelly.
I use unblockus, I had no issues with them on my previous setup.
 
We should have good coverage of Weltevredenpark according to the map? Were you blocked by obstructions?

http://bitco.co.za/coverage/

Yes, your guys were on my roof (cannot recall their names) I believe that they could get very poor signal in the direction of clearwater mall but obviously not enough.

I can see the ridge from Northcliff Hill all the way over to Constantia Kloof and beyond... It would be awesome if you guys had something along that ridge top.
 
Off topic: Ryder, is JAWUG still running?

Yup, but most of the original guys are gone now... families / jobs take priority. I'm still connected but not involved. Too busy with work and life etc.
 
Reason I mentioned it is perhaps you have some high sites for BitCo to leverage off. :)

Set it up on the devices. Which ones do you have? I can assist with a few
