I'll just point out again that, at contention ratios of 14:1 or so, that's more than 7 times better than the 100:1 contention ratios on your vaunted M-WEB ISDN. As jus says, read the sticky.

yes mithrandi but bear in mind that this is a 24/7 connection so it will ALWAYS be busy, people will download 24/7, so I hope we get good speeds always

How does this differ from ISDN? I connect 12/5 + 24/2 (ie. callmore time), and I ALWAYS download during those periods. I know lots of other people do the same, but there are also people who do not download constantly at maximum bandwidth during those periods. The same will apply to MyWireless; there will be a group of people, "Power Users" if you like, who max their connection out 95% of the time, and there will be a group of people who just use it for e-mail, surfing the web, etc. Granted, the ratios of people in these groups may differ from ISDN to MyWireless, but they'll still be there.

i agree with him, there will always be ppl like me who are constantly dl'ing, while we not playing online games. Then there are those people who don't. I have normal 56k dial-up with R7 so far it works fine. i get 5-6 Kbs, this sucks but its ok. they said earliar sentech local gaming pings will be 40-80. That is awesome!! my ping in warcraft is usually 188 (saix) / 203(mweb) which is ok, it works with almost no lag. 40-80 wud be unreal to me! I would sign up tommorrow if it wasn't for the contract(parents don't like tht word).

Not much info on there at the moment. Just a good looking site with no info of use in terms of My Wireless. Or am I pulling a Stevie Wonder on myself? [8D]

Hi Guys,

Some of your question are very valid and one has to always try to see all the players point of view. This said, Mywireless is quite new, not only in SA, but in alot of parts of the world. The fact that 5 National roleouts in other Countries does attest to the viability of this kind of service, not to mention to amount of $$$ required to manage such a roleout. We all have to adopt the same "Wait and see" attitude. I always give someone an opportunity to prove (or fail) themselves. The contention ratios mentioned by Sentech is a work in progress and I know they are trying to improve even that. We should still, however reserve judgment for when the time comes.
