Hi All

Anyone any input as to connectivity type(s) and costs available for a farm outside Stellenbosch?

I believe there are no ADSL available, and was looking into Wireless.

Mobile data signal is very weak and very expensive.

This seems costly, but would I be able to source my own equipment (eg. Ubiquiti) and "rent" a connection to someone's high site and where would I then get data from?

Anyone that can assist a blond person?
 
How far away are you from Welgevonden? I have Amobia which requires line of site to their repeater on Bottelary Hills. Other folks are pretty happy with WISH.
 
Ah, Wild Clover - best place to spend a weekend afternoon. My wife works across the road at West Cape Biotech, I'll check with her what internet they have over there.

From where you are located you have a good coverage from Amobia, I have used them before and had good service. I still have my Amobia CPE however I keep it as backup.

They have both capped and uncapped packages so give them a try : http://www.amobia.com/wireless_broadband?wic=wireless_broadband_uncapped

Hi Guys

Thanks for the input.

@Rouxenator - I'll definitely contact Amobia to hear what they have to offer.
 
You can try Snowball based in Techno Park Stellenbosch they specialise in wireless Internet
 
Checked with my wife, West Cape Biotech which is right across the road from you uses Snowball.
 
Hi there

Thanks for the reply. Snowball seems to be a tad bit expense. And their coverage isnt showing that area though...
 
UPDATE: I have confirmed today that there is a fully fuctional telephone line available (coming straight from an overhead cable to the house) Tried phoning Helkom to see if they can provide DSL, but they require a street name and number... The more I tell them it is on a farm, right next to the R304, the more they tell me they cant help without a physical address... THAT IS MY PHYSICAL ADDRESS!!!
 
Is that month - to - month or contract? I dont like the idea of contract. Always been with Axxess for a month to month deal... Service is also not too bad :)
