I received my modem today after many phone calls to Sentech.
The thing is on the coverage map is showed that I do not have cover but a little bit of my house it showed partial coverage, so I ordered it any way. I live in Noordheuwel ext 4 , Krugersdorp so my closest tower will be Helderkruin or Honeydew. Now I am not sure where the towers are but from my house to the where Herderkruin start is +/- 6.2 km, Honeydew about 8 km, but clear line of sight to Honeydew.
I pluged in the modem and it shows 4 lights for the signal, signal strenght vary between 16% and 20% from tower 110.
Does any one know where is tower 110?
I have the 128 package and very happy with it so far.
 
Oh someone in my area :P Good luck with tower 110...that's the one we are closest to, 3.9km, but my modem can't find it. When the antenna guy was here, he briefly found it with his contraption, but that was it. I'm still connecting to base station 126...heaven knows where that is but it works. Maybe Powerband can come out and see if they can find you a signal. They are very helpful.

i can only connect when it's overcast, hehe, something to do with me being above the tower and my signal not getting there, but with clouds, they nicely bounce my signal... hehe

*pray for rain*
 
yes, but for the 2.5ghz range? and where do i get a connector that fits? step-by-step website for it??
 
I will hopefully soon have a step by step DIY antenna for those that cannot afford the proper thing.
