Okay as far as I know for the time being they are aiming at the business user, it´s quite funny that this question came up today because we are having it installed down in Cape Town for one of our mags today. I will let you know what the guys think of it.
 
 This costs are quite high but as I said they are aiming at the business user. The baby account (Business Classic) goes for R1500 monthly and an installation fee on top of that.

Thanks Cameron!
 
 Hopefully their home package is much cheaper...also let us know what the service, speeds, pitfalls, etc are.
 
 Later

I´m afraid not but I am going down to Cape Town this week and will let you guys know when I get back. The people that are working on the connection are saying it can be really fast but other times its very slow...I will have to take a look myself before I can say anything.

I see that GIN has been changed to WISP...any news on thsi Cameron?

Looks like WISP is expanding, good for them.
 
 Well I took a look at the connection when I was down in Cape Town and it seemed pretty cool. I am going to be chatting to the guys that run WISP this Friday (hopefully) and will find out when they are going to be making connections more affordable to the home user.
 
 Will let you know.

I just hooked a 128k connection from gateway. Getting speeds of about 10-14k. Very satisfied except for the fact that I can't get p2p working. Using the home 128k bundle.
