I did ask them and they dont know if it will work, and they dont even know how long it will take for the installment, thats why i went to Neotel because everything will be instant.
 
Think very well before going the Neotel route...The words Neotel & Speed do not belong together. I have this 'service' simply as a backup in case the ADSL isn't available and cringe whenever I have to make the switch. Neotel used to have a seven day cancellation if not happy option, make sure that this is still in place so that you can back-out and run the other way. Otherwise, you are locked in for two very long years of 'instant' and continuous frustrations and unhappiness.

Neoflex with internal house antenna from poynting



Douglasdale Jhb
 
Darkdenim mebe you can help me, where is the best tower to point to in Douglasdale area? I'm currently facing towards Bryanston over the highway as it seem to have best line of sight however looking at the coverage map I'm thinking I should be facing the opposite direction ie: Towards Witkoppen Rd, I've only had an antenna for a few days so haven't had a chance to test properly as yet. Any suggestions?
 
About as swift as the current negotiations to end the national strikes.

instant? I waited almost a month for them to organise an installation and it's been two weeks since the installation and it's still not active!

I am still perfectly happy with Neotel, I'm in Durbanville.

Have a look at my posts here, http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/128447-speedtest.neotel.co.za/page4, for speeds. My connection is still running like that.
Think I ticked off a few people and noone wanted to respond after I posted my results :)

True dude... people get so upset when you say you're happy with the service. I was on NeoFlex 10GB and was getting 1Mb/s on average download. They've now given me the FREE WiMax upgrade and I'm getting 2.15 Mb/s download!! AND IT'S UNCAPPED!!!

I couldn't be happier. For R700 a month this is definitely worth it.

The thing is you don't often see posts from happy people. It's always whiners who think their whining will make them feel better. It doesn't... it just makes you more negative! So go whine, see who cares... I don't... I'm too busy downloading and playing PS3 online! HAHA
 
If I get offered that I would definately be keen!
 
Pretty similar to mine, although I am repositioning my antenna this weekend to look at the other tower. Will let everyone know what happens

My router just connects automatic.. i have no idea how to choose another antenna to connect to.
 
I've got an external antenna, hence i can point it at things :)
