Wifi internet

[EasyUp Web Hosting]

Hey,

Looking for any wifi/wimax internet providers in Midrand that has coverage at my home.

DC Connect have tested and can't help.
Screamer seems to be non existing these days.
I am not able to find any one else on google.

Links to website and prices would help.

Maybe a good place to start.

When I had issues with screamer last month I sent these guys 'n mail and I am still receiving calls from companies that want to get me connected.

Thanx, will check it out.

Edit: According to that site, only AMOBIA is covering Midrand. I send them a "check coverage" request and we will see what happens.

Does MyBB members get discount?

hahahahaha true well my monthly budget is up to R2500 for uncapped as i i work from home.

Then look at Neotel Wimax or FTTH. My budget isn't even close to that.

Yeah we can only wish.
My suggestion is, send these guys your location and contact numbers, also include your budget and so on, they in turn will forward your request to the people that cover your area.

And hopefully you get connected

I called mweb business wireless and no coverage and Neotel said no coverage for Wimax, however there is an option of cable in my area but i have to speak to the body corporate to let them dig around and install (not an option) so now only 3 companies left. screamer, amobia and Khuselo.

thanks i filled up the form on wapa hopefully it will all come up as good news.

I am desperate as my occupation is extremely heavy on data and i keep on exhausting my data bundles.

If i cant locate any wireless internet services provider will have to relocate

In the mean time, why don't you get Iburst on month-2-month, I know they sux, but it is at least cheaper than 3G.

Easy, don't go with megasurf as they are fscking expensive... Mike (iirc) mailed me from AMOBIA to get my address as well... Will see what happens.

 

[onaz]

Ok as of this morning i have received emails from vlocity as well as Comtel, one issue none of them provides uncapped, although vlocity promised to start selling uncapped as of next month.
amobia seems a lot more solid and affordable just hope i have coverage as their coverage map suggest.

I agree, take it easy and look for a company that gives a product that work and (at least some) service and support. And the main thing value for your money
