Wireless versus fibre debate

[daffy]

Hey Daffy,
Where are you?
Are there quite a few antennas around you?
Are you running Mikrotik equipment and what do you get when you run a frequency scan?
What is the frequemcy usage?

The biggest thing with wireless is whether you run spectrum or ISM.
ISM bands are getting fuller and fuller and is generally put up without any regard for anyone else’s network, then you have full frequency usage and one day good response the next bad.
If this article is to hold water self regulation of the ISM band so as to ensure operators can achieve the most from their network without stepping on another operators toes or visa-versa.

Those are all the right questions to ask if you're technically minded. But for a customer, they just think "wireless" is crap, because they believe the FUD that the competition are selling.

Wireless can be just as good as Wires, and sometimes better.

Wireless vs Fibre, to me there isn't any contest.

For the average consumer... there is no real difference, and wireless is probably a better product in terms of getting the product INTO a consumers home.

For consumers like me though, unless you can offer me a physical connection into my house, I'm not interested.

Look at Telkoms Fiber termination fee +R100k - i doubt if I heard wrong from the Telkom sales guy - nearly fell off my chair
Eskom fiber has landed in George from Cape Town at Blanco, just waiting for the termination kit for Neotel (June 2010)
