Mobile Torque, anybody using their service?

Hey there. I had a look at your site. Seems you guys don't seem to cover Midrand :(

Apologies for miscommunication. Level-7 is not mine/ours. Generally discussing the upload issue you raised - we have gamer clients (not Level-7) on above package (4 Mbps down/1Mbps up Lite) playing from PC's and Consoles with no problem so trust won't be a problem.

Alternatively go to WAPA.org.za click on "Find a Provider" fill in your detail and everyone in the area that can potentially cover you should get in touch with you to setup LOS survey.

Hey!

Apologies for late reply. I used WAPA to find the current company (Mobile Torque). They seemed to provide the fastest speeds (10 down/up) based on my budget.

I still am open to other WISP's though, just hoping for fast speeds as I have a room mate who streams a lot and I dont want speeds to go down drastically when I'm gaming and he's streaming.
 
Can finally post an update.

So a wireless survey was done an I am 1.2km away from the tower with clear signal.

Next step is to get permission from the body corporate to install everything.

Awesome! Any idea what kit they use?
 
Another update.

So its been a while for the results now and I tried emailing and calling, but im getting no replies at all...
 
Okay so, after the LOS test, nobody seems to want to asnwer their phones or respond to my emails, so I'm not gonna bother anymore.

Applied last week and everything was installed within the same week more like in 3 days, very quick response you just have to call them a few times though. have to say they have a stable and fast internet connection ,I applaud them on their payment system as well.
I was told to try out the 5mb connection first then if i was happy with everything then i could upgrade to a 10mb connection.

I am in Noordwyk.

Wow, that looks very promising! What are the costs insofar as their 5mb/10mb options are concerned?
