I'd like to give peer-to-peer testing a shot, meaning having people on the same tower test.

LoneGunMan, since I know you're on 126 Brixton as well, could you donwload http://rodent.za.net/files/iperf.exe and run it from a command prompt as such:

to see a KByte reading,
iperf -c rodent.kicks-ass.net -f Kbytes

or
iperf -c rodent.kicks-ass.net

to see a bps reading...

This should tell us whether it's the air transmissions giving us crap, or whether (as I suspect) it's just plain Sentech's peering that sucks.

While you wanted specific feedback from your own tower I hope this provides some basics... I'll be that side of town on Wednesday... I'll run and post then.
