| * nuvolari chews off his wrists | 19:47 | |
| nuvolari | anyone else experiencing vodacom snail-race? | 19:48 |
| magespawn | Luckily not tonight. | 19:51 |
| inetpro | nuvolari: get a yagi | 19:55 |
| magespawn | Would that make any differance to the speed? | 19:57 |
| inetpro | absolutely | 19:58 |
| inetpro | see http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/67899-External-Yagi-antenna-from-Poynting-Oh-yes!!! | 19:59 |
| magespawn | I thought it only helped with the connection | 19:59 |
| inetpro | Without an antenna I barely get 300kbps | 20:00 |
| inetpro | if I'm lucky | 20:00 |
| inetpro | with an antenna I get up to 5mbps | 20:00 |
| inetpro | and it helps with 8ta as well | 20:02 |
| inetpro | with an antenna my connection is relatively stable and consistently above 1mbps | 20:03 |
| magespawn | I see, I knew that it made your connection stable, did not know about the speed improvement. | 20:04 |
| inetpro | the only problem now is that if I'm not careful I pay through my ears | 20:05 |
| magespawn | Burning through the cap! Hah 1st world problems. | 20:06 |
| inetpro | wish I could get an affordable uncapped wireless connection | 20:07 |
| * Banlam gets 10GB from 8ta for a decent price | 20:08 | |
| Banlam | although they have major coverage issues | 20:09 |
| inetpro | Banlam: I was hoping that by now we would have seen a drop in price by other mobile providers | 20:09 |
| Banlam | if you're not in a main city, no signal | 20:09 |
| * inetpro hates the long term commitment with 8ta | 20:09 | |
| Banlam | mm | 20:09 |
| Banlam | true | 20:09 |
| magespawn | Did vodacom stop their 20 gig deal? | 20:10 |
| Banlam | I knew I was going to be here for th eyear, and had the money on hand, so decided to go for it. | 20:10 |
| inetpro | magespawn: long long ago | 20:10 |
| magespawn | That did not last long. | 20:10 |
| inetpro | now that was a very good deal | 20:10 |
| nuvolari | inetpro: it's not reception that's an issue, as I can very well get normal HSDPA speeds, but the last 3 weeks I've been lucky if I ever get a HSDPA/3G connection for loger than 20 seconds | 20:11 |
| nuvolari | then it falls back to gprs/edge indefinitely | 20:11 |
| Banlam | :( | 20:11 |
| inetpro | nuvolari: I know exactly what it feels like | 20:11 |
| inetpro | had the same issues at my place | 20:12 |
| nuvolari | and if it does change if I get something like a yagi, I'll call it fraud | 20:12 |
| inetpro | the only solution for me was to take matters in my own hands and get an antenna | 20:12 |
| inetpro | VC just took for ever to get back to me, always coming with more stories | 20:13 |
| magespawn | Seems like it happens now and then, some issues here with one of the towers | 20:13 |
| nuvolari | yeh, @Vodacom111 didn't even respond after my last communication | 20:13 |
| inetpro | in fact I was lucky... a friend of mine had a spare antenna which I was able to test with | 20:13 |
| nuvolari | jislaaik ja, my dad got one from MTN (free btw, if you're in a location where reception is known to be bad, take that vodacom!), and it wooshed like mad! I was impressed | 20:14 |
| inetpro | nuvolari: I bet you somebody else in your area complained and as a result they move the antenna ever so slightly for this guy, affecting your signal | 20:19 |
| inetpro | or they installed another tower without proper HSDPA and you're getting that one because it's closer | 20:19 |
| magespawn | I have had that happen before as well | 20:19 |
| inetpro | either way they can not please everybody all the time | 20:20 |
| inetpro | or it's damn difficult, I guess | 20:20 |
| inetpro | a directional antenna should do the trick | 20:21 |
| inetpro | just find the towers in your area and point around until you find the best signal | 20:21 |
| nuvolari | "Some of the Google employees also requested removing Unity and Gnome 3 and using xmonad instead." | 20:24 |
| nuvolari | heh, nice post you shared there inetpro | 20:24 |
| inetpro | nuvolari: and an android phone can actually make your life very easy with all the signal info apps that are available | 20:25 |
| nuvolari | ooh, it can? I never tried those | 20:26 |
| nuvolari | any recommendation? | 20:26 |
| inetpro | nuvolari: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet&feature=search_result | 20:27 |
| inetpro | or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotrod.utility.rfsignaltrackereclair&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob3Ryb2QudXRpbGl0eS5yZnNpZ25hbHRyYWNrZXJlY2xhaXIiXQ.. | 20:28 |
| inetpro | and signal finder is also very cool | 20:29 |
| inetpro | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.akvelon.signaltracker&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ha3ZlbG9uLnNpZ25hbHRyYWNrZXIiXQ.. | 20:29 |
| inetpro | but I must warn that all these apps they eat battery | 20:30 |
| magespawn | What does not theses days? | 20:31 |
| nuvolari | magespawn: yeah, even keeping the phone off eats battery | 20:31 |
| magespawn | Everything has improved except the battery. | 20:32 |
| nuvolari | well,c ompared to my HTC Hero from 2 years ago, it improved by almost 1 day | 20:32 |
| nuvolari | ok, I'm off. groklaw to catch up on googacle then crashing | 20:34 |
| magespawn | My n900 lasts all of two hours if I turn everything on, but 3-4 days if I only use it for phone calls. | 20:35 |
| inetpro | I guess a portable battery for charging the battery on the go is what we need these days | 20:37 |
| inetpro | for charging the phone on the go* | 20:37 |
| inetpro | business opportunity | 20:38 |
| magespawn | That was with it plugged into a car charger | 20:38 |
| magespawn | Mmm have been looking into solar chargers. | 20:38 |
| inetpro | they say if you want to decrease the lifetime of your mobile's battery you should charge it with your car charger | 20:40 |
| magespawn | Well there we go. | 20:41 |
| magespawn | I am off to bed, night all. | 20:50 |
