525627 2007-02-18 22:46:00 Anyone have any feedback on these guys? Good, bad or neutral?

I've already investigated, pricing, installation, small print etc.

They are new and small though...........

525632 2007-02-19 03:50:00 Doesn't look particularly cheap! My Woosh plan (20GB) is around the same price as the "Super Ultra"...

OK, I don't get anywhere near the speeds Wireless Nation are promising, but still... 20GB a month for $250 is a commercial rate - is that who they are trying to target? Certainly won't be home users at that price! And with a 15c/MB for overlimit for every Plan!!

No thanks - I'll stick with "slow,-with-predictable-monthly-invoices-Woosh"...

525634 2007-02-19 04:51:00 For home user 2 MB down 1 MB 1GB cap $56 a month is their cheapest plan.
Which is fine for those who just email and surf, just like my parents.

525635 2007-02-19 06:37:00 Tom right?

No.

And I'll let you all know the result of my conversation when I have more info..........no point in jumping the gun.



This is for rural people who have no choice. The choices are:
1)Dialup (very sad, disconnections, average 16k connections, all that stuff)
2)Satellite with someone

No Woosh, no Wireless - its satellite or bust.

And out of all the other satellite ISP choices this seems to be the best deal.

The first lady interested was looking at the 5Gb plan.

Take a look at Orcons (satellite) pricing if you want to be really horrified.
I asked them did they want to discourage new customers?
Even Farmside sucks...

And being farmers they should be able to claim a portion of the internet charges as a home business anyway.
