[dunny]

Thats a good idea bob hence why ive done the list so others can see how fast they get switched over, that way you wont get people giving in there months notice to karoo and been lost without the net

[ramtops]

think i give both of these company a miss till after xmas see what speed people get then


That's my plan - I'm in contract with KC until November anyway.

Ok guys just had my Air Net system installed last week... Must complement the guys on a quick and easy install...
Th guys utilised an existing, redundant, Ariel pole to accommodate the Base Station, although it does seem to be shaking about a bit so looks like it could do with bracing to hold it steady, must mention that to Air Net.
As you can see the Speed Test Below it blows KC out the water... Can tell the difference when surfing the net, no making a cup of tea and taking the dog for a walk while waiting for youtube to load...
 


So generally it's working sweet... ...However... ... yes unfortunately they had to be a However....Gaming:
One PS3 (wired) & Two XBox's (wireless) are unfortunately not so good... To be fair Air Net are still looking into the issues of NAT settings which appears to be the main issue at the moment.
On the old KC system with their £2.99 Router from Boyes the NAT setting for all Three machines were OPEN making online gaming sweet as a nut... Now we have the getnet GR-124W router it will only give us a NAT setting of MODERATE which is not the best as it restricts the connection to friends and some game lobbies...
I'm not sure what the problem is here but I'm disappointed to say the least that at the moment no one seem to have an answer or be able to come up with a fix... To be fair though I did have similar issues with the XBoxe's some time ago when using a Netgear Router - NAT MODERATE. The PS3 I've had since launch and have always previously enjoyed an OPEN NAT Type. It could be perhaps the router is not up to gaming requirements for more than one machine, on the other hand I may be talking bollox.
Though I would just inform you people who are pondering, shall I/shan't I dump Karoo. The choice is yours of course.
In summary the Air Net service does work perfectly generally but still has some learning to do with regard to multiple gaming machines and their configuration.
I will keep you guys updated as we continue to work with Air Net to try and iron out the current issues. (or change back to Karoo... ) I have to have good connections to online gaming in my house otherwise my two children will slowly die...

I dont understand, I e-mailed them and got a full response today with them saying the following;

'Our supplier hopes it will be the next few days for stock to arrive.'

'Our supplier hopes it will be the next few days for stock to arrive.'

Yeah I think they are genuinely struggling to get stock in to be fair, I'm sure they are not just fobbing people off...

[buster_uk]

And don't forget there are only two people doing the installs too at the moment.

[bobthebuilder]
