N5's wireless broadband?

[Chris]

Does anybody have any experience with N5's wireless broadband service?

I have thier MMDS broadband system installed in my office with a 2.4 Ghz backup system from them also....doing some web hosting and SSH access to out LAN and an IBM AS400 box.......so far so good.

I would reccommend them strongly..

Call Barry Raglan (978-3739) and tell him that I referred you.

Thanks Donavon. I called Barry but unfortunately I'm out out range for their Coopers Hill transmitter. No ADSL, no cable modem, no wireless broadband. I'm stuck in narrowband land :'(

I wonder where exactly the transmitter is in Coopers Hill. Fortunately I live in Coopers Hill but at the same time that doesn't mean that I am in line of sight.

Can someone get one of the guys from N5 to respond to this discussion? I am interested in N5 wireless broad band.

Roby G,

Its on the Aerotel Tower at Cooper's Hill, so chances are you wont be recieving signal.

What kind of bandwidth are we talking about???

[Chris]

They should be the ones peddling their wares ;D... but its 256Kbps down and 128Kbps up.

[grannyg]

How reliable and consistent is this bandwidth???

I called them and the equipment costs are high but the monthly is reasonable.

What you should do firstly is to get them to do a site survey of your location to see if you cna get a good enough signal (10bd for video and 15 bd for data - minimum .. thats their minimum)

Gotel may be offering some service but then we have to wait until yearend to see what they will be up to.
