Why don't you PM the screamer and tell him you want to speed test the new backbone?:D

I think they are indeed testing or optimizing their new backbone as my speed sometimes goes upto 70kilobyte/s down, twice as fast as it should be and I will run my cap out twice as fast......

Same here, I sometimes get lightning fast downloads but then that's sometimes.

I must add that in general I have seen imrpovement with the speed here. I am in PTA.

Maybe they're still working on things on your side?

I wonder what happened to the screamer? Haven't seen him on the forum for a while now?:D

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.

Good to see you're still with us.

Can you clarify what you mean with licensed/unlicensed spectrum?

Also, what is happening with regards to the voice solution?:D

"we will have a very exciting announcement regarding voice services in 3 weeks time"

UnLicenced spectrum = unregulated access spectrum such as in the 2.4Gb range
Licenced spectrum = regulated access spectrum allocated to one of the operators that we have an agreement with and, no, I am not authorised to publish the agreement or details thereof on the web.

Voice is being deployed at a number of the gated communities we service and as soon as it is bedded down and available generally I am sure management will let all their clients know.

hisite, you really are an embittered little guy with a very large axe to grind. But please spare us the vitriolic stream of consciousness stuff and find your caps key and spacebar.

Glad to see you've turned down the volume on Northcliff-3 which was pumping it out like a pulsar since it was turned on this weekend. It was one of my strongest signals on an antenna pointing away from the site.

Quick question from an ex-GWI client - what is the gain on your standard panel antenna that you install?

But thats how WISPs in ISM operate. Amp at the first sign of noise, and then complain about interference.

Well whatever, but the service is very crappy again this evening.:D

Talk is cheap. I had many, many months of crappy service getting to the point of being down about one week in four. And with the cap, plus R120/Gb topup, it's also become expensive compared to ADSL. Frankly, my feeling is GWI is only a choice of last resort ie if you cannot get ADSL.

True. But alas, if ADSL isn't available........

But for a company that makes that kind of money one would expect better service?:D

The reasons for the expensive top ups is to try and get clients to take more accurate packages which are still some of the cheapest in the industry.
What area are you in Buffalobill and you, Rebel998?
