Hi,

If there is anyone in the Strand with LOS to relatively close to the Pavilion area... I'm -seriously- starting to consider replacing my ADSL with Diginet. Diginet prices has dropped significantly, and whilst it does mean less bandwidth, the bandwidth you get are at a premium.

If anyone is interested, I'm looking to split the cost of the service proportionally to the amount of bandwidth. I'm looking to put in a 128k or 192k line and split the service (and cost) on a 40/60, 50/50 type of scenario (I'll even provide you with copies of quotes / invoices to PROOVE to you that I am not snarfing you and making money out of you. Naturally, I'll provide the bandwidth to you via a wireless link (You're responsible for your own equipment), you will be required to pay for your share of the bandwidth, and I will provide you with a block of public routed IPs (not NATed ****), more than likely a /28 block.

I'm still waiting for updated prices, but guestimates are you are looking at about 2K to 3K per 64K of bandwidth (SAIX with international Fiber).

This isn't a advertisement, this isn't a business selling a service, this is me as a individual being so 'gatvol' of ADSL that I am now actually prepared to make the plunge and get a alternative that I know works. If CTWUG is reachable in the Strand, I'll even be prepared to link to the WUG and create a tunnel thru there for someone further away from the Strand wanting to share

PS - If there's a corporate willing to share, we can talk and come up with a very neat deal, as I'll naturally only use it during the nights and over weekends mostly when I am home. During the day, I need to be at work to pay for this! :D

Feel free to reply, pm, or email...
 
Hey. Moving to Strand at beginning of Dec and I have a wireless router. Im about 200m up from the train station in the flats bietobos on the third floor. Im not sure If I will have line of sight to Pavilion but can check when next I go there. (The flats are along the train line). Unfortunetly im not that rich so even if its R3000 halved its still a bit much. Diginet for private use seems just to much atm.

If it was fesiable would just be using for WOW and have normal ADSL for general internet.

Neways even if cant do the diginet and we in line of sight we can start our own wug in the area.

Give me a shout if you interested

Just FYI...

128k 1 year R4497.00 <-- This was 21 months ago...

So chances are good for sub R2K per 64K as I -know- the prices has significantly dropped since back when I got these old figures... I should receive official updated prices tomorrow, at which time I'll ammend my guestimate

Official rate: R1,340PM per 64K, I'm sleeping on this over the weekend and more than likely signing on Monday / Tuesday
