Hi all

We're thinking of subscribing to Telkom's SpaceStream Express internet connection (the 512kB option) - I'd like to hear if anyone is either happy or appalled with the service. Can we assume that it will work in our area (rural Mossel Bay) or should we nag to have a rep come out?

Many thanks
Slak
 
Slak, did you go with the solution? We are also looking at getting SSO for one of our branches, but mainly for voice. Any feedback on this?

Thanks!
 
Avoid SSO - the voice part LAGS out - sounds like an international call!
internet speed is ONLY 8KB/sec max..

SSE is also really not good - during offpeak and pre 8am and post 5pm the speeds are ok...but during the day - expect to get around 20KB/sec max - with about 7-11% packet loss SSE

obviously only take satellite if you have NO other option...
 
SSE

Hiya - yes, we did go for SpaceStream in 2007 and we've been extremely happy with it, the most stable internet we've had by far. We've no experience with the voice option though. Also, with Wifi coming in soon, maybe wait to see what other options become available in the near future? Would be happy to answer other questions if you have any but am on holiday and about to move out of comms range, so can get back to you next week.

Cheers
Sally
 
how can you be "happy" for R1800 for additional 3gb....

you can get a microwave leased line - silver @ 256kbps for R4000 pm uncapped.
