Wireless internet – recommendations?

June 13, 2005 Roger Saner TT Internal Issues 3 Comments

In a few weeks time I’m off to the Berg for a bit of a holiday – but I still would like to have internet to keep on doing those vital website thingies and email and all of that (and to check I’m still alive). I know we all work virtually and many of us have wireless internet so my question is – what does the team recommend? I only need it for a few weeks and then it’s back to DSL…I’ve heard iBurst is pretty good and Telkom also offers something similar…suggestions?

    Most important thing is to check the footprint, I couldn’t get iBurst in Northriding, so I doubt you’ll have any luck in the berg. I’d recommend, assuming your phone and laptop play nice, simply using GPRS, you’ll pay a bit more, and the speeds aren’t great, but it’s for a short time, and works well…!

    IBurst has been slow on roll out.Just been up in White River for a week. Was unable to use mine. It is not available beyond some main areas in JHB CT and Durban at present. I wonder if a company will come up with a solution for someone like you who does not want the 24 month contract or to purchase the modem? Hope they read our blog.

    I am using Vodafone’s 3G one package. But you don’t need a 2 year contract, so I’d agree with Rich…! Go GPRS @ 57Kbps

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
My last tweet was 9999989724. Wild. Will be at 10 [...]
