as I'm about to get my feet wet in the Pretoria iBurst pool. I'll wade thru the forums on the technical side, but do have a few questions regarding resellers.
Since I'm currently with Nowire (month to month), I'd prefer to stay there....easier from an account point of view. They can just terminate Sentech, activate iBurst, decrease my monthly debit order, Bob's your uncle
However, from a signal test and installation (possible external antenna, etc) point of view, there are quite possibly better skilled resellers to use.
So, are all resellers dealing directly with iBurst or do some of them act as agents for Nowire ?
If the first, has anyone made use of Nowire as a one-stop shop, from signal test onwards ?
If the second, feel free to PM me If your signal test isn't free, please provide the cost in the PM
During the signal test, I'd like to get an indication of best possible speed/signal strength, not just whether I can connect, so there might be some effort needed and a decent antenna in the boot, that can be pointed manually at the offending tower, wouldn't hurt

I'm in Menlo Park, just to the west of the koppie with all the towers on (Sentech, etc) with (I think) LOS to the CSIR tower
yes. I don't think I'm going to test the antenna though, if you want to pick it up tomorrow am, I'll tape the pen to it. Otherwise just tell me when....
