Question of the Day: Are you keeping your Prime subscription?
No speed limits. No caps.
- Thread starter rpm
- Start date
Can do better than that, can give you an exact amount:

or
http://mailer.miro.co.za/miro_add_4_wireless_kit.jpg - R1788 excl
plot your location on www.wug.za.net - then download the google earth KML file and open it, it will show you all the highsites, coverage, nodes and links.

Any major differences between the two? Is one better than the other?
Hi RPM please hook us up with a node in Soweto. Here's the link for the LOS pics we have taken from an appropriate highsite where we could see most parts of Soweto. Your assistance will be highly appreciated. http://www.wug.za.net/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=10816&g2_page=1
javas how's the planning looking, how are you going to link to the rest of Jawug ?
What kit is needed on that Jawug highsite ?
What kit do you want to put up in Soweto.
How big a area are you going to cover ?

I am in Edenvale dude. Harmelia to be exact. Got hooked up to the JAWUG yesterday. Planning on transmitting to the surrounding areas too as I can see quite nicely from the second story of my house which is where the kit is installed.
Got direct LOS to the Primrose node.

I might be a bit negative, but other than gaming online or copying files from each other, what else can the network be used for?

That's just the thing. The only thing I can think of using it for is gaming or downloading files from each other
I guess it won't be a bad way to get new episodes of EVERYTHING I enjoy to watch rather than spend a couple of hundred gigs a month downloading them...
Do you guys have torrent trackers running with availability ?

You can use it for whatever you can use a network for. It is not just about what you get from it, but what you give too.
This is the general attitude with everyone which ends up generating an awesome community around the WUG.
For me, the initial cost far outweights the benefit of being connected. It is one BIG network. Use your imagination

Of course I agree, giving back etc.
But that's just the thing. I'm thinking now "Why should I spend the money to get connected to something I don't generally see a use for"
thus my question

Got onto the IRC channels (www.wug.za.net) and chat to the guys. Get a feel for what is out there and what is going on.
I only had to chat to a few guys to get a bee in my bonnet and the urge to get connected out weighed the cash in the bank
