Hi there

Did anybody else see the IS wireless broadband advert in the Sunday Times? They advertise a 24/7, cost effective wireless broadband service. Does anybody know whether this is in partnership with Sentech or whether it is a service on its own?

The advertisement reads:

“Nothing accelerates Internet connectivity like broadband. That is why IS is extending its wired broadband services to include wireless broadband. Wireless broadband will provide ultra high Internet speeds 24/7 and only require simply installation procedures. And because it is also cost effective, it’s a must have for any business wanting a faster and smarter e-Business solution.”

It is right under the NoWire advertisement and it is therefore potentially only reselling MyWireless…

I found the following on the IS web site:

Wireless connectivity is currently not a viable option due to legislative restrictions imposed by ICASA. Although IS has a wireless network installed around the greater Johannesburg area, commissioning Internet Access across this wireless medium is illegal, and thus a wireless access method may not be used as an access method just yet.

any comments?
 
I belive IS could be a sentech partner. And therefore would resell there product, but first wait for the problems to be ironed out

Hi Dean_Henstock

Yes...you are 100% correct - IS has been selected as one of the re-sellers of this product - They also provide the local bandwidth to Sentech for authentication etc.
