Customers who would be interested in hosting our cell sites, will receive unlimited SDSL broadband and free calls, at no cost at all!
This sounds good !
Unlimited any time local and national land line calls, and unlimited SDSL up to 10Mbps Sync broadband. All this for £19.99
this also sounds good !
I for one would like to know more

re: feedback. Sounds good on paper Ricky but I am just a little bit dubious about the number of posts we have had from businesses punting their WiMax service as being the next best thing for Hull but then never backing it up. If you can pull it off though then yeah, the competition would be good  |

How well would gaming such as Xbox live and PS3 gaming, VOIP and video calling from skype and HD BBC iplayer work on this system?

Tumble weeds aren't considered as having any value except for the fact that they are interesting to watch as they tumble about is this another one.

There are actually people (not many) who harvest tumbleweeds and sell them

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is actually using Air Net? We are considering switching from karoo, but PS3, Xbox's and Laptops are all in nearly permanant use in my house and am a bit dubious about changing! Can anyone offer any advice or even better have experience of their service.
Thanks
Leese.

Hmmm... It's hard to say. I guess it depends on what speed you're actually likely to achieve on average (which is itself based on how many other people you're sharing the available bandwidth with, what kind of wireless kit they're using etc).
Are you doing this for business or residential use? I'd say for residential use, unless this is something very special it seems a bit on the pricey side for me.

The Zoom X6v integrates a full-rate ADSL 2/2+ modem, router, 802.11 wireless access point, VoIP telephone adapter, firewall, and four-port 10/100 Ethernet switch into a single costeffective product.
Our broadband packages feature low contention ratio's, so you are not slowing down at peak times. Contention works when other people are online at the same time as you, and you share a portion of the actual bandwidth with them, which in effect, at peak times reduces your broadband throughput massively. For example If you have a 1Mbps, when and if 49 other people are online, and downloading at the same time, 'theoretically' but not common, would greatly reduce your bandwidth from say 120Kbs to around 20Kbs, if you had a standard 50:1 contention ratio, this has a big impact on your connection.
At the moment i'm paying karoo £29.99 and KC comms £34.99 so this would pay for itself within 4 months.
I Think i need to get them to put something in writing guaranteeing a minimum download and upload speed.

So this is fixed line ADSL2 then rather than wireless then? I wonder if they're just reselling KC's service? If so, I wonder if it'll be any quicker?
When you say you're paying "karoo £29.99 and KC comms £34.99", is that £29.99 for Internet and £34.99 for telephone? If so, have you checked that Airnet can still provide ADSL2 if you stop paying for your KC telephone line?
