Some tests. blah

I dont see where IPv6 comes into this. In IPv6 standards you should be alocated at least a /64, the recomended prefix is a /48 address space, not just a single static IP. Anyway, this is a new standard that is reletivly far off from implementation as it is not backward compatible with the current internet in many ways.

Anyway, Sentech should have absolutly no problem getting sufficient address space. I'd rather they just stoped that nonsense excuse and told us the real reason, which is quite obviously marketing or forcing it on home users/"consumers" only.

I received the complete list of current and future cells for JHB, DBN and CT this afternoon, and although I'm still waiting permission to post it, I can assure you the whole of Gauteng and CT is very well covered. Durbs, from the airport right through the city, the beach front and right up and including Pheonix and Umhlanga rocks are very well covered.
 
btw 4 bars on the modem doesnt mean 100% signal, im getting 4 bars with the modem at the top of my cupboard and my signal is 17% ;/ i think it also has to do with how close you are.

Proasm, does your list have the basestation numbers? cause every time i call seems they have no idea. (We'll phone you back) etc..
 
not 4 bars, signals, 4 signals....well, thats what i heard....

anyway... ProAsm, care to comment on the static IP issue?

Hi.
Base Station numbers range from 101 at the moment upwards etc.
You will find it in the software showing the range of the signal if you move your mouse over it.
...(this information may change at any time)

according to sentech they want 99% coverage of south africa by end of march 2004, or was that only gauteng? but yea, I reckon they'd have some sites up and running in cape town by then, seeing as there's a list and everything [:D]

that is absolutly stupid.

that is NOT a static IP. That just means they wont force it to change, an IP that changes *ever* be it every 5 mins or every 10 days is not static!
