Ok here is a interesting thing I have come across

Everyone I know that took a unbundeled package from Nowire ( 6 people all 256K) have absolutely no problems.

The two people I have met that took the normal package from Sentech ( on 128K one 256K) have problems, even thought they are on the same tower and node as some of the nowire guys

Coincidence.....

There is no technical difference between users on the network. It's a billing difference. I have spoken to 3 people with their contracts through Nowire - also problems.

Well, I have a 256k package through NoWire, and only from Friday have been getting good speeds (I started on the 20th May). So, I am a 'Nowire package' user that had (have) problems.

Don't be - a day and a half later the speeds are back down to what they were. Oh well, at least I had the token for a 1.5 days and experienced what a 256k package can do. :(

Nowire is just as incompetent and pathetic as sentech... if not more. So there will be no difference at all...
