I am thinking Benoni should be 22 although I have no evidence?
 
?Florida?

Looks to me like Florida will be #27 or #28. Both distances look like a possibility.
Ill keep an eye open.

BUT: Since I moved my UTD to the top of my roof earlier this evening im getting a total of 12 unknown towers (#27; #29; #30; #33; #41; #43; #47; #49; #52; #56; #57; #61) all within 15kms according to iConnectC#. I am also seeing towers as far afield as Edenvale and Primrose. If youre under Northcliff's spell, take Seburn's advice and give your utd some altitude. Went from approx -100 average to a steady -81 average instantly while still connected to Northcliffe!

Thanks to Seburn!:D
 
Tower 25 is live and kicking in randburg area pity I donno what it could be
 
Uhm ... Randpark Ridge is the only new live tower in our area Seburn (AFAIK) ... I was told it would be 26 ... maybe they settled onto 25 ;-)

Had quite a laugh - first they go give the church in Linden a crown of thowns and now they gave Randpark ridge shopping centre a 13 pronged lightning stick ;-)
 
Seems Randpark is #26. Im connecting there tonight but its dropped my signal strength a bit and Im bouncing between it and Northcliff.
 
Yip, on Tower26 as well.

Dammit, speed so good I ate up the rest of my 3Gig in minutes ... rock solid downloading around the 102-108K mark ...

Now capped and for the first time ever feeling like I'm getting the service I paid for .....

If IBurst get their roll-out right it's going to rock ....
[Yes Rodent, I know it's still shafting us cost wise ;-) ]
 
#26 Randparkridge

Damn Daisy!! I realigned my UTD and WHAM! Getting an average DL speed of 100KB/s all day so far. At last iBurst seems to be worth it. Already bought another 2 Gigs so far. If they keep setting up new towers, It will be somthing amazing.:D

I see Gallo Manor hasn't been identified either, so maybe 25 = Gallo Manor, 27 = Morningside, or the other way around. I will try and find the exact towers later and see who I connect to while sitting right by them :)

... from utTraceStar Thread
 
I'm in olivedale and I also see 25 - have no clue what it might be. Can anyone help?
 
Might it be illovo or morningside? Donno where Gallo Manor came from

I'm in Hyde Park and I've noticed a new tower, no 27, which I'm certain is Illovo. It is 1km away, which matches the info in Iconnect #C.

It is still not giving me a strong enough signal to take me off the Randburg tower, so I suspect the array is not pointed in my direction, or there is some obstruction. I get 7/10 -80db for #27, whereas Randburg is 8/10, -72db. But it's stronger than the next best.

I see there is still another BS planned for Hyde Park. We'll see...
 
I'm now being switched between #13 (Randburg) and #27 (Illovo) quite regularly. So I'm certain that #27 is Illovo, none of the other new stations is close enough to Hyde Park to make a connection. The BS is only a few hundred metres from my house.
 
Ok, pretty certain tower 25 is Morningside. Tower 15 is incorrectly labeled UUNET (Woodmead). Should be UUNET (Gallo Manor)

Ok list updated.
We still need confirmation on benoni

If you look at the iburst base station list there is no Gallo Manor but UUNET is in the center of Woodmead coverage.

Don't worry they like doing this ... as if sanlam center is in the middle of JHB CBD no!!!
