Yep they probably will and it will be identifiable with loads of lag and ****ty customer service, it’s the Sentech way

Fantasy is what people want, reality is what they need.

Truth be told, I have seen one of the IPW telephony devices, it would you VOIP and since sentech carry voice for MTN etc, I am sure they will launch something, however, it would be quicker to post a letter !

ST will offer VOIP (brandname only, doesn't indicate usage).
Using the full alphabet will constitute abuse, so does long sentences.
Internations calls will be limited to 6 words per sentence.
Words not frequently used by other ppl, will suffer delayed transmission.
Women will probably be banned, since they talk too much and will abuse the system.
ST will list your number, although you've asked them not too.
They will insist that you use VOIP to contact the helpdesk, so when it doesn't work, they can't be contacted and can then state that less than 1% of users are not happy.
You'll be sharing the line with 29 other ppl, but they intend to bring it down to 4 ppl on a line.
They will only provide enough bandwidth to cater for deaf mutes

Okay So VIOP is legal now... lets do a TEST then on SENTECH and VOIP www.skype.com... its a freeware program and Sentech to Sentech should work GREAT right....

Did this as a TEST earlier and *cough* what was said above was to the T 101% what we could expect from ST VOIP....

"I ----- maybe -e-r ev-ry f-w wo--s but sou--ed l-ke a re---y ba- cell---ne c---"

and to those of us not using voip

I could maybe hear every few words but it sounded like a really bad cellphone call

lol @ Luke!!

i think that this might be what Sentech was "waiting for". they can make much more from VoIP than from "broadband" connections. they will have to get ping times and packet loss down for VoIP to work though. i'm sure the will use the same infrastructure, so this might be Good Thing™ for MyWi users...
