Pulled off all this info from the Sentech website. I am so leaving
ghei ass ADSL, and moving over to wireless. No Caps! No Caps! No Caps!

Benefits
Improved Reliability
Unlike conventional terrestrial networks, Sentech's high-powered radio based Internet connectivity does not rely on the terrestrial telephone network that is prone to failure due a variety of reasons including cable theft and cable failure as a result of adverse weather conditions and human errors. MyWireless eliminates all these problems by applying centrally managed IP technology with effective coverage to provide Internet connectivity in high-density urban areas.
Internet Functionality
Using licensed radio frequency spectrum technology on a fully IP based network, MyWireless Internet offers all the benefits and services expected of an Internet connection including web-browsing, FTP (file transfer protocol), instant messaging, e-mail and support for all Internet applications such as online banking or shopping. In addition, customers can now dramatically reduce the cost of connectivity for inter alia home-based security systems involving third-party web-cam technology.
No additional ISP Charges
Because Sentech maintains its own connections to the International Internet backbone, no additional ISP charges will be levied. Internet traffic is routed via Sentech’s teleport in Honeydew to the base stations located in the major metropolitan areas.
Advantages over "Fixed-Line"
Fixed monthly costs - regardless of bandwidth used
Portability within coverage areas
No telephone line required
Zero downtime caused by cable theft
