Eldoraigne 3.
The tower is basically (more or less) on the corner of R101 and Lenchen.
 
Can anyone who can connect to Sunnyside please tell me which nodes they connect to?

I used to get 35% sig to Sunnyside, now I can't pick it up ...
 
Hi , I dont know what to say ? I love sentech , I am so glad that I got it , I get at Least 15-20 KB/s anytime with 128k, I think this is all getting out of hand , first U hate Telkom , then one person says Sentech sucks then all follow? Why no positive feedback? Arent u supposed to Hate telkom, not Sentech? ....
 
and if you get *at least* 15-20KB on a 128K, you're either confusing B with b or you're just plain confused, since 128K equates to 16KB, anytime, ALL the time

Hi again

I'm currently in JHb on the mintek tower, BUT i'm moving to Centurion in November. I'd like to find out who's in Centurion, where about and connecting to which tower.
I know privet is in Eldoraigne 3 with a "good" connection.

yup- I am on the Hennopspark tower. I have only had to call suppport
once or twice in the past 3 months. Running on Linux, so I can not tell you what signal strenth I get etc.
 
Apparently that tower next to old jhb rd only has one sector live. I have worked on it as far away as Greenfields in Reds Mall, but that was the limit for the Battenna.

Pass the pringles please ....
 
Thanks Draadloos

Did a quick check this weekend and found no signal. We bought property on the south side of the Eldoraigne koppie so I took the modem with, but without he 8dBi Patch antenna. I'll have better access to the poperty in about 2 weeks or so and will do a proper test. I had signal in that area while ago so it should theoretically still be there.

MySignal is just easier to use since you don't have to move your mouse over the tower image. Has that changed recently? I use a PPPoE connection so I'm not working with the sentech software.

No, it's still "On mouseover". Not *ideal" for finding the best signal LOL. Having probs with MySignal and win98 when it comes to disconnection/auto reconnection, so I tend to use the dialer.

Is anybody receiving signals in the Moreleta Park area, esp the north-facing slopes of the hill. According to the SenTech site there is no coverage there, but I want to make sure. Also, if there is no coverage, I assume they mean when using the standard setup. What about bigger/higher antennae, or boosters?

Thanx
 
if they say there's no coverage, it usually means no coverage at all. even the partially covered marked areas are very dodgy.

try iburst out, comparing wireless technologies, iburst is by far the best and cheapest

Hey, Noone, how come you are so positive today? Not even 1 negative in that reply! Also strange to recommend i-Burst, seeing your sig! ;)

I checked out the i-Burst coverage, and I might be sitting just inside (or just outside!) the light green area. Guess I'll contact them to come check the signal in loco.

I can also get a very strong G3 signal here. What's your take on G3? Actually I wish there was someplace where factual data/statistics about the various offerings were available. Then I can go hog-wild and set up a balanced score card to try and see what will be my best bet. I'd like to go for some sort of ADSL package, but Telkom has pissed me off so much over the last 3 years with a bad line that no amount of moaning and ranting can get fixed, that I want nothing to do with terrestrial lines.

Well there is the MyADSL Broadband Ratings Report, and the new edition should be available soon...:).

I found that just a few minutes ago, thanks. But the PDF on my (employer's) machine, she is broke... I only see the 1st page with the Telkom ADSL stuff.
 
Anybody else on Menlopark had a change in frequency ? I'm directly west of tower 36, on nb3 (2.530) , but now : Connecting to Tower 36 - nb2 - sig=20% - snl=13, which puts me on 2.518, the node facing away from me :confused: :confused: Been like this at least since Thursday
