iburst metronet

[sal12344]

Hi does anyone know anything about Metronet? I dont have wimax coverage where I live but i do have metronet. The normal Iburst Wireless has been really crappy since I moved to my current adress in fact it show only fair coverage here and i used to have excellent coverage at my old place.

Also could an iburst rep contact me about signing up? tx

That is a business microwave service if I am correct. Will cost way to much.

 

[sal12344]

Do you have any indication on pricing? My other option is to cancel the iburst contract and get a second ADSL line! My contract expired 6 months ago and I have no desire to be tied down unless its worth my while.

Not sure of the iBurst pricing but we have service through Neotel for the company which is 10K plus.

On a 1 year contract for a 1mpbs link it will cost R7298 exc VAT (half price on a 3 year contract)

Then you still need bandwidth on top of this at about 10c per mb.

Benefits;

1:1 contention ratio
99.5% SLA on uptime
same speed up and down

WDSL pricing starts from R5780 for 5 Mb/s and a cap of 60GB. See http://www.iburst.co.za/business.aspx?link=packages_wdsl

Can we have a speedtest for this one?

 

[r00igev@@r]

I'll have the techies post the speedtest results.

There are versions of 5,10 and 15! It is symmetrical so upload speed is the same as download speed. Great for the small business or branch.

Jannie posted his results here: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?207132-W-DSL-Results&p=3430884&viewfull=1#post3430884

It's a pity that iBurst doesn't actually want to sell this product though.

Would like to have this latency with residential price, and speed too.. /sigh

Gees, how the hell do you that kind of latency on a wireless product, were you standing inside the tower? or was it right next to the server?

 

[Jagtiger]

I have no idea. Maybe fibre backbone between towers.
Also this KILLS me.
