| 467442 | 2006-06-30 09:57:00 | Wow, just moved into my city apartment today and got woosh wireless . THings i found out: 1 . I use a mac, and thefellas didnt even tel me that i needed a special cable (it just doesnt work) took me abt 2 hrs to upgrade the firmware since i use the latest version of mac, install etc . . . :badpc: 2 . Speeds are apalling, 40KB/s (they claim 1 . 6Mbps), takes 5s to load www . yahoo . com :mad: I think i want to move back to DSL . Just wondering if Orcons still be the best ISP in terms of speed reliability etc Btw, do i still have to pay the 150 dollar wiring fees? can i just get a self install kit and do it myself? does orcon offer this? i am not very good with computers or wiring stuff tho :annoyed: anybody with woosh having this experience? |

For normal broadband unless you have a monitored alarm or something normally all you need is the filters . |

| 467446 | 2006-06-30 22:30:00 | Hmm, i am not a techie, but 5 yrs ago when i first had "broadband" back in those days, i remembered calling a technician who came to my house and opened up the telephone jack port and did some wiring thingy... so is it new technology now when i just have to plug the filter into the normal telephone jack and it will work? |

| 467447 | 2006-06-30 22:52:00 | Gidday, if you have a telephone line to a jackpoint in your home, all you will need is router or broadband modem, and a filter for the jackpoint where you plug your telephone into. the modems normally came with instructions, and of course you will need to set up your broadband connection with a provider.
