WISP - Randfontein

[rodney.reid.za]

I am at my wits end -
Randfontein had the fastest broadband connections in 2013 and came in 3rd place in 2014.... find it odd since there is almost no ASDL lines in Randfontein (as per Telkom).

I'm currently on the MTN 3G Uncapped lite package and looking to upgrade my connection as 3gigs dont last a weekend and MTN throttles you completely down.

Hunting for a WISP covering Randfontein seems even more impossible than asking Telkom for an ASDL line -
I have tried the big guns - Neotell, Iburst etc and the medium guys - Skywire, Wirulink, Vlocity,Bsit, Bitco and even the local guys - uncappedwirelessinternet*co*za and all-ict (No response from the local guys in 5 days time)

99.95% of the response was that there is no coverage - and the remaining 0.05% costs are astronomical for basic services.

I have logged a request on WAPA website and on Quomoto and no have not received a single response.

Can any one please assist me by informing me of a well priced - uncapped WISP that covers Randfontein ?

Hi Rodney

We have been looking for buildings and towers in Randfontein for a while now. If you know of anyone that is prepared to lease us roof space on a high building in the area we will provide connectivity at a discounted rate.

Please PM me if you have any details.

Do not use BSit. They are rather useless

My house is in the Greenhills area, and from experience is probably the worst area i could of bought this property at, there is no infrastructure of any kind here, no MTN, none of the WISPS have line of sight and no adsl. i have been struggling with telkom for MONTHS on end and i have pretty much lost all hope of getting to a decent connection. If there is anyone that can help with a wireless connection please get in touch via PM
