Eccsystems any good?

Avoid ! Even if it is your only option - rather move

Me and my mates got horrible service from them

Their website is an indication of what to expect - been like this for many years

I looked at the first list you provided. Didn't see it there. Why are there 2 lists with different listings?

Oh and way to go with the chirpy "rebuttal". A nice way draw new clients and business. As a prospective service provider to a prospective new client my response, as the Cape Connect Internet Rep would have been:

" I understand that there are a lot of listings in these documents under different headings and classes and not just alphabetical. May I draw your attention to this entry? Please contact us for any further information."

One list is the list of Class licenses. The other list is the list of Individual licenses.

Those lists not only contain communications / ISP / network licenses. They also contain broadcast and postal licenses. One should read both documents in their entirety to avoid the embarrassment of falsely accusing a licensed ISP of not being licensed.

Wow....You don't know when to quit do you? I asked a simple question after not reading and sifting through endless lists.

Now suddenly, according to you, I embarrassed myself by "falsely accusing a licensed ISP of not being licensed".

I did no such thing at all.

But hey, keep up the good work of representing the company you work for....or own perhaps?
 
I was defending the WISP industry on these forums for two years prior to you becoming a member.

Find someone else to pick on.

Wow the WISP industry needed two years of defending by you???? Who are you, the WISP Batman?

Currently your are doing more damage than good,mostly to your own company's reputation. You seem a bit overdefensive and paranoid re. the industry that you are involved with.

Maybe you should change your perspective slightly and understand that your job is to represent you company in a positive way, by being helpful and friendly. I never attacked you or your company. I asked a simple question, to which you are severly over reacting right now.

Insulting people on a public technical forum in the name of your company is not good business strategy at all.

Have a nice day further.
 

Here's a photo of Secure Link's main tower covering Brackenfell, taken today.

It's been abandoned for years.

They may, or may not, be able to provide the original poster with service.

There are several service providers who have numerous access points in the area. I would suggest the OP visits WAPA and uses the Find a provider link on the main page.

Wow...just wow. Sinking to new depths. Posting a pictue of an abandoned tower and claims it belongs to Securelink. Even if it did or does, what does it have to do with anything at all?

You are quite pathetic and immature and an embarrassment to the company you represent. If you are not the owner, I would love to see his/her reaction to this thread.

If you are the owner....well
 
Wow MightyQuin, your questions were answered - give it a rest

Portcullis has been in the industry a long time and is one of the few ISP
who offers his clients true value for money and great service.

Sorry what? I don't care how long he has been in the industry. He insulted and falsely accused me of something I did not do.

The fact that Cape Connect provides good service at value for money, is negated by this rep's attitude and behaviour.

Will not use them or recommend them to any of my clients. Simple really isn't it?

MightyQuin, it is best to say nothing and let the world think you are a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Had you bothered to follow both links that Portcullis had posted, and read the associated documents, you would not have revealed your ignorance to the world. Were you cruising for a confrontation with him or you are simply ignorant and unable to follow basic instructions?

You keep harping on about Portcullis being a company representative with a bad attitude who has falsely accused you of something you did not do.

YOU DID NOT READ PAST PAGE ONE!

Had you read on, you would have seen Cape Connect on the list.

You are the one with a seriously bad attitude.

Maybe, just maybe, Portcullis was trying to send you a message when he said; “One list is the list of Class licenses. The other list is the list of Individual licenses.
Those lists not only contain communications / ISP / network licenses. They also contain broadcast and postal licenses. One should read both documents in their entirety to avoid the embarrassment of falsely accusing a licensed ISP of not being licensed.”

You should have quit while you were ahead.

Why should a company representative sit back and take abuse from anyone? What makes him your whipping boy? Kilos made it clear that he knows Portcullis outside of these forums. As, no doubt do many other members. We're not talking about some new employee in the PR department of some faceless ISP who gets to answer forum queries with a range of prepared answers. You are insulting a business owner. For you to attack somebody who has put his money where his mouth is and who is providing a much needed service is simply out of line. For you to then expect him to just sit there and take it, shows how immature and ignorant you are.

At no point did he punt any of his services. In fact, he did the exact opposite. He revealed a major shortcoming of the company you suggested and then made a counter suggestion that OP should contact WAPA. In other words, he did exactly what would be expected from a helpful company representative.

Your over reaction to the picture of the Secure Link tower shows that Portcullis hit a nerve. Are you an employee of Secure Link? Are you the owner of Secure Link? That's a very expensive tower to have to abandon. Was it built without an EIA? I see what appear to be solar panel frames. Did they steal the solar panels? More than once? No electricity feed? For Portcullis to know where it is and be able to quickly go there to take a picture, he must have something on the same hill and know the story. Farmers take their security very seriously. No farmer is going to allow a stranger to just drive on his farm. What reason would Portcullis have to lie about the tower belonging to Secure Link?

When I look at your post history,
http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/search.php?searchid=45036702
I see the majority of your posts are negative or critical. Life is generally better when you have a positive attitude.

Unlike me, Portcullis has shown immense restraint in dealing with you. Just like a company representative should.

Get over yourself.
 
Wow the WISP industry needed two years of defending by you???? Who are you, the WISP Batman?

MightyQuin's debatable qualities aside, this made my day! I'll never quite view Batman in the same light... that is, I never much liked Batman as much as I do now!

(https://www.google.co.za/webhp?q=because i'm batman)

In an industry that had such a low barrier to entry... (Our network served internet to more than 10 000 unique devices in the last month, and when I started I could not even afford a laptop!) ...you can imagine us having seen quite a lot of fly-by-night companies come and go... they burst on the scene with a lot of flair, threatening everyone... then a few years later we're called in for help and have to repair/mend/replace their no-longer-functional installations.

Not that none of us didn't burn our own fingers with our own share of dodgy installations in the early days... but how better to really learn what works and what doesn't, than from your own mistakes, if you're committed to make it work long term!

The problem with the corporates are that there's a lot of trust - and lying - going on. "No really, look. We'll supply you with these "carrier grade" quality routers... if you buy 100 000 we'll give you a really good price. Look at all our 'awards'. Check these tests and reports. (Shush, don't tell them that we only tested 10! Them? Our marketers of course!)" The buyers and the sellers know very little about the tech, everything is financed up-front, and the corporate techies have to bite their lips and try to make it work (Gee, thanks you greedy vendor techies!), while the marketers have to try and get rid of the R50m hole they burned in their own pockets and are at best too pride to even admit and at worst don't even know about... thankfully there's an endless supply of mindless consumers who believe all the hype to foot the bill and it works just well enough that most people won't notice all the flaws... :whistle:

The worst is that all of them- the corporates right to the fly-by-nights cashed in a lot more than we did...

...but we're not (just) doing it for the money.

To us being able to render a good service is a personal engineering challenge.

A matter of pride.

Plus, we love 4x4'ing up the mountain to go and fix the cables that... magically broke... it's okay, we'll do it a hundred million times if that's that it takes. Someone's going to run out of steam, and it won't be us!
