    So, after a few months of Sky Muster, '4Bee or Not 4Bee'? That is the question.

    Mornin' Steve.

    I can see you read my posts with avid interest, not. Ah well.

    I did do a Thesis on this subject on here a while ago when it was up & Running.


    No, never did go with SkyMuster after perusing replies on here, indeed the bloke came, sat his arse on the ridge of the roof playing with his meter thingy & said there was a good signal coming from Lenswood somewhere.

    He then advised Mission Control at Cape Canaveral of his readings & Mission Control evidently said they were ok for launch & so he installed a Fixed Wireless Antenna up there. Not the prettiest thing mind, (anything that has 3 legs usually ain't) but it is up there with Sky's Sat dish, 6.5kw of Solar panels & the Yagi for FTA & it all looks a bit like Earth Station #4.
    When the Cudlee Creek fire went though the hill where their tower is, we lost service for an hour or so until the CFS would allow them back in to refuel a Genny or summat but we were back online about an hour later.

    The only other probs we have had is with the stupidly placed "Wireless Switch" on the Internode/iinet Modem.
    It is a tiny thing on the RH end of a row of indicator lghts & so flush with the face it can easily be accidentally switched off.
    Dusting, handling, picking up?? It has gone on 2 separate occasions & we have not noticed it. (&$@&%#)

    Interestingly the ISP say it is the most common problem they receive. WTF the don't upgrade the Modem is anyone's guess then? The on/off switch is at the rear of the casing so to me that is the place to put this as well, but "Oh no matey" they would say "we buy in these combo switch/light things by the millions so get used to it"

    I have fixed the bugger for now by the loose application of a few strips of Red Sparky's tape over it so at least it will draw our attention to it before we ring the "Help Desk" (Are they really called that these days?) ED. Maybe Tech Support?

    Skymuster.

    Friends who live a few km away from here have recently got it & they claim it is better than the old Satt.setup & they thought/told it was because a new Satt. had been put up. They claim speeds are quite acceptable, no dropouts etc Yer pays yer money & yer makes yer choice I suppose.



    Sorry, what was the question?
