Web Intact (Or intactless service)

you realise a game ping is almost definetly different to a icmp ping.

games don't use icmp to ping their servers, so your logic about it being different routes would not apply there
 
Its a 2 way thing. And you're not upgrading your laptop's antenna. So thats probably the weakest point.
Moving the Router/AP would be the easiest and most effective way.

So if i dont want to move the router i must just upgrade my laptop's antenna, currently im using an acer aspire laptop(not standard anymore), they come with a build in wifi adapter.

Do have any suggestions on an pcmcia card thats both b and g compatable.
 
For GWI

GWI,

Do you think when Neotel one day starts doing business in SA it would affect your customers

or

when they one day start you would already be miles ahead of them with better and cheaper connections.

Also what does a lisence cost per year for a spesific band lets say 900mhz band or something(just for some knowladge)

I think any competition has that effect... and Neotel doing real telco business in SA will hopefully affect Telkom's prices, and that's what will benefit everyone.

Very very expensive - I don't the real number, but it's millions...

Thats why wisps use the frequencies they not suppose to, cause they are to greedy to make money, and to stingy to give out a bit.
 
GWI,

What was happening with the connection last night and this morning we where down since 7h30 last night.

Also we tryed to call the after hours number but a lady picked up and she didnt have a clue what we where talking about.

Also the one guy thats working in your support department, whe contacted your offices this morning and when we ask the guy what was going on and how long we will be off all he could say was that our tech's are working on it does he even know whats going on there.

Where do you connect?

what time did you call? after hours number operates from 5pm-10pm weekdays, 8am - 2pm weekends & public holidays, as per our website...

yes - his answer was 100% correct....
 
My statement is there is no legal way to sell internet over the 2.4 and 5.8 GSM band unless you have a munincipal licence. And no a VANS licence doesnt entitle you to do that.
 
Ah - this old argument again... it's been dredged up many a time in this thread and others over the past few years, so I'm not going to rehash any of it...

What about this comment: "cause they are to greedy to make money, and to stingy to give out a bit."

How much money do you think WISPs make, and how much is 'a bit'?
 
Well, according to WAPA (www.wapa.org.za), of which GWI is not a member...

http://www.wapa.org.za/about/

R42million

You're overlooking a crucial bit of information there, daffy:

Turnover does not = profit

And membership of WAPA is voluntary - it is a self-regulating body of wireless service providers based in the Western Cape designed to regulate the use of unlicensed spectrum in as fair a way as possible, as the official regulatory body (ICASA) obviously will not.

Non-membership should not have negative connotations; and membership certainly does not mean members behave, judging by the problems we are having in Polokwane caused mainly by a WAPA member.
 
Still waiting what was the matter on sunday

So sorry for the delay - it may have been quicker to call our official support line if you needed an answer as quick as you'd have liked.

Please don't rely on this forum for responses to this type of question - this is not our official support point of contact. It is, in fact, a users' forum that I frequent as a representative of GWI to 'fill in the blanks'...

Anyway - the answer is: OSPF failure on the Meyerton ABR.

:cool:
