Kiloseish still07:14
ThatGraemeGuyyup, 4 weeks now07:15
Kilosthats a bad show on telkoms part07:15
ThatGraemeGuytelkom don't care about the customer, lets not pretend otherwise07:15
Kilosjust now they will tell you they not replacing cables because of theft and offer you a free telkom mobile phone07:15
ThatGraemeGuyfat lot of good that will do07:16
Kilosare you in a far out area loike rural07:16
ThatGraemeGuyi'm looking at wireless, so far the best option seems to be R549 for 2Mbps07:16
ThatGraemeGuyor 749 for 4Mbps07:16
Kiloswireless from where?07:16
ThatGraemeGuyi'm on the urban edge07:16
Kilosmake friends with all neighbours and local communities and let them collect for fibre07:18
Kilossome towns are doing that07:18
ThatGraemeGuyhttps://www.google.co.za/maps/place/Protea+Village,+Cape+Town/@-33.8898663,18.7175102,3739m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x1dcc53d6e5b470b9:0x51f1b2478df0f6b707:18
ThatGraemeGuyprotea village is where i am07:18
Kilosah07:19
ThatGraemeGuyif you look on that map where the words "protea village" are, i'm almost directly below the E in village07:19
ThatGraemeGuybelow "protea village" is an open green piece07:20
Kiloswhew outside edge07:20
ThatGraemeGuyand below that another green piece, which is a hill and i'm on the down slope of it07:20
Kiloswhere can you get wireless, are there towers close by07:20
ThatGraemeGuyso all the WUG stuff is out of my sight07:20
Kiloseish07:21
ThatGraemeGuywireless from snowball internet, the tower i suspect is on a high hill to the southeast on that map07:21
ThatGraemeGuyi need to contact them, but after payday only07:21
Kiloslike me . the ptawug has wireless right past here to brits 07:21
ThatGraemeGuyinstallation cost is just under R3k07:22
ThatGraemeGuywhy don't you get on the wug?07:22
Kilosbut in this whole i gotta get expensive equipment to get them and they dont off internet07:22
ThatGraemeGuynot officially no :)07:22
ThatGraemeGuybut if you have a friend on the wug you could do a vpn thing07:22
ThatGraemeGuybut the wug as an organisation cannot sell internet access07:23
Kilosive chatted to them some even offered to get ubuntu upgrades and isos for me once im on the wug07:23
Kilosthere are quite a few ubuntu users in this wug07:24
ThatGraemeGuyyeah i am sure 1 or 2 are even mirroring repos07:24
ThatGraemeGuyi think there are guys on ctwug that do07:24
Kilosah07:24
Kilosif i had 3k id buy an i5 cpu for this pc07:25
Kilos3k07:25
ThatGraemeGuywtf really07:25
Kiloslol ya man07:25
ThatGraemeGuyi'd rather spend 3k on a laptop07:25
ThatGraemeGuyno need to buy fancy hardware that sits idle for 99% of its life07:26
Kilosno dont like them with the mouse goody and battery charging and all that and screens too small07:26
Kilosusing that pad thing as a mouse is something you must get used to07:27
ThatGraemeGuyyeah they should invent some way for you to plug in a regular mouse, that would make it a bit better07:28
Kilosoh but also im looking into telkom wireless atm, they have a hotspot just over 1k from here07:28
ThatGraemeGuyand while they're at it, they can make a way for you to connect a nice big LCD to a laptop too07:28
