If you have to buy an addon to get the service, it's an immediate fail in my book.

That window mount antenna is not Omnidirectional like the one that Ushir has, so it has to POINT in the right direction. I have one of these and if the PN(124) fails I just disconnect the cable and screw on the standard (Prime) one (I can't redirect easily as it is outside, high on the wall).
This has not improved my reception (except for upload), but it has allowed me to put the phone/modem on my desk. Previously it 'balanced' sort of on a filing cabinet which made calls difficult.
Speed is fair to poor (400kbps is sometimes reached but mainly around 160).
My previous problem was upload of 2 - 5 kbps so I could not 'browse'.
I'm now bored with these Neotel problems and will wait for Screamer to drop prices and sort out their Sentech hassle.
