Good News PPL

You can cancell the contract with no penalties or at least I have.
I received my modem and tested it the same night for what I would be using it for the most ie gaming. I found it to not suite my needs and so I called Sentech the following day and informed them that I would like to cancell the contract. They asked me to send them an e-mail giving the reasons why I wanted to cancell which I sent right away. I confirmed that they had received it. After about a month and many phone calls to Sentech tehy have informed me that the contract has been cancelled and that I will be refunded all fees except the delivery fees ( even though I collected the modem). But I aint gonna complain

Good luck to all those who want to try.

Sigh i get pings of around 150 - 300 (SAIX counterstrike)depending on the weather. Lucky i am on beta testing, pity as i cant get adsl in my area.
 
Its not *that* rosy since from day 15 you will have to pay 70% of the contract if you cancel. They should rather have a sliding scale. 70% for first 6 months. 60% next 6 months. 25% final year.

One question though, assuming you do cancel and pay 70% - who keeps the modem? Since if you give the modem back (and there are apparently people who have cancelled already) then 70% is steep since all they care about is their precious modem.
 
Gaming is a good reason to keep your ISDN line.
I've setup my routing to route game server IPs across the ISDN and set the ISDN to autodial.

So when I want to play games, I get my sweet ISDN 30ms pings, and downloads rocket down at 32KB/s over MyWireless

And downloads/other people browsing on the net on the LAN don't affect my ping as it did before. [:D]

if your signal strenght is good enough your ping will even beat ADSL

/me averages about 100ms now

Have had my modem 4 days now, signal full strength 4bars, never varies come wind rain or shine. Never drops kicks, the crap out of my ISDN (128 versus 128)

Happy wireless
 
Give it time..

No really.. Even though I love my connection and it works beautifully you will have times where the tower is fiddled with and you get dropped all the time. Overall though you will have 95% uptime and it will work great!

But report back after 1 month. 4 days aint much [:p]
