Yep it is great news... so Fantastic, you couldnt find out when the Constantia or Kirstenhof towers are coming up? Or roughly what time the CPT towers will start to go up. Those two towers are already on the plaaned coverage section of the site and they will provide me with much better reception, cant wait.

JasTin, where about do you live? Hopefully your area will also get a new tower, with 13 more it shouldnt be a problem. Your location (bergies) doesnt mean that you live in Bergvliet does it?

what cr@p, I was promised in May last year that Alberton would be up in 3 weeks. I'm so glad I sent it back and got me 3G (now HSDPA)

Last year there was a different regime running Iburst.

Different strokes for different folks. If I sent my Iburst UTD back to them and downloaded what I do via 3G/HSDPA I would soon be bankrupted.

EDIT: Actually, I wouldn't be backrupted, but if my wife saw the bill, I would need to have the data card surgically removed from my rear end.

I advise ArminM to get a iBurst card cos he will save a lot and much faster then the other.
Alberton is covered by iBurst. :)
 
Hey Fantasic.. stop it. Youre stealing my award in that other stupid thread.

If you dnt know yet youve been nominated for the most irritating fourmite for this week. Congrats, I tried to steal it but hey...

Hahaha so what are the prizes, extra bandwidth? :D
 
Nope... a nice reputation though i geuss.

But the Constantia and Kirstenhof towers are the two closest to us coming up. 11 others will probably be going up all around, in the northern suburbs as well etc.

But I think Constantia will server us better. Kirstenhof seems to be almost as far from me as Plumbstead is currently.
If you chack out the coverage maps and then click on "planned coverage" it shows you the effect the new towers will have on coverage, I'm not shure which tower is causing this, but Begvliet will become covered in a new shade of darker green, the second or third best type I think.
With an antenna, which we probaly both have atm to be able to use plumbstead tower, we should have great coverage here in bergvlit and new uncongested tower for that too.

Thats why I cant wait for the new towers.
 
3G is a nice to have. If you in an area that doesn't pick up Iburst, the 3G is cool, but also more expensive. Most of the time I use my Iburst...
 
I hink if iBurst can decrease their LAG for gamers they would get A LOT of people off ADSL and onto Wireless.
Not that its that slow at the moment. I play online games all the time, as long as the servers are local, games run fine.
