| 480340 | 2006-08-24 09:21:00 | It is really that bad. Unless you're within about a block of their transmission towers (I have a friend who lives about 50m from one of Woosh's cellsites and gets very good service), the service is hopeless. I can SEE the building which the Woosh cellsite is on, but it's about 500-600m away from me and I get hopeless speeds (about 200kbit/s max). | somebody (208) | ||

I just rang them and asked where the nearest tower is, it's less than 100m from me....I took a walk and can't see it. This is purely a residential aerea. Could it be a booster tower or something ? the guy I talked too was really happy about me being so close, it scared me he was so happy. |
