So, I've mown the lawn and cooled off with a few colddrinks and I decide to play BF2 online a little.

WRONG

Constant disconnects and messages saying "there is a problem with your connection.

What gives Screamer???

Great way to start the day!

 

[rebel998]

I am sure something got toasted by lightning last night. Battling to brows this morning. At least I can still open MyBB!

MY APOLOGIES TO SCREAMER

Work was done on the upstream providers network and I missed my notification that was sent out on Friday.

Connection running smoothly again.

Thanx for the feedback Howzit.

 

[rebel998]

Looking forward to possibly upgrading to Screamer WiMax.

Thanks a plenty to the guys from Screamer and Amax in Sinoville for their assistance and kind help.

Online gaming's gonna be a real pleasure now!!

 

[rebel998]

WiMax is in and tried some BF2 on SAIX and what a pleasure!!

No hick-ups whatsoever.

Now I can brag with my internet connection to my family and friends again.

Thanks AGAIN to Screamer and Amax from Sinoville. You guys made my day!!

 

[rebel998]

Geewiz!

I can very happily report that I have just spent more than an hour and a half playing Battlefield2 on the SAIX server without a single glitch, disconnect or.....well anything.

Smoothe graphics all the way, man am I glad I am to be a SCREAMER!!

I will be checking the WiMax out further and will report back. (If I get a chance, between BF2 sessions!) I am fast becoming a big Screamer fan.

 

[Rocket-Boy]

Rebel, nice to see you going to be back on. I will teabag you a few times as a welcome back

 

[rebel998]

Ag ja thanks RB!

Now I have no excuse for sucking at the game. I used to blame my connection, will have to dig up another excuse now.

 

[IainSmith]

Sorry guys
Been out in the field for the past week and also try not to get involved with vitriol and pettiness.
A number of our clients are still on our connections that use unregulated spectrum and unfortunately being unregulated means that you get the odd "fish and chips" supplier blasting out in his own little world and that inteferes with your connection. Our support desks spend most of their time adjusting clients frequencies to spectrum that is not being interfered with and we are trying as quickly as possible to move all clients to our licenced spectrum which ensures consistently high speeds.
Cyberarmy, please e-mail us with your account no and I will check if you are in an area that is due to go onto licenced spectrum connections.

By using Mikrotik wireless, what do you expect?
At least use something decent that is true carrier class.
From what I have read in this forum, it appears that Screamer are doing things on the cheap and nasty, and getting similar results.

 

[IainSmith]

No service this evening again. Reason-Power failure.

Have you guys learnt nothing?

It's obvious that if one depends on GWI/SCREAMER for internet connectivity one MUST have a backup.

Have you ever seen their hi-site installs?

 

[wow4life]

Their turn-around on WiMax tower issues is quite quick ... as long as the problem doesn't occur on the weekend, else you tend to wait until Monday for it to be corrected.

No, do I need to?

+1

Response is very good. I even have the techie's cell number now!
At least he get's a bottle of coke when he comes and fixes something.

You treat them well, you get better support.

 

[rebel998]

Their service has improved a lot since the early days.

When they came to install the WiMax it took around twenty minutes and thats because I forgot my linksys's password to setup the config on my side.

Like I said, I can confidently recommend Screamer to anyone now. I just wish they had even bigger coverage. So my poor sis in the bundus (Kosibay)can share the joy.

No experience with the adsl portion of their offering but browse around in the ADSL ISP forums for more insight.

 

[diegoa]

You guys are kidding right? What about the constant disconnects from any online application, its a serious problem which they cant seem to find what the problem is or even fix and I am getting sick and tired of it.

There seems to be big *h&t going with Telkom at the moment relating to some software upgrade gone wrong. The said, having had experience with Screamer's (ex-GWI) support and customer responsiveness, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.
