Hi,
Tooway is OK for small users been around years. They are a company with many re-sellers like yourselves. I have installed this often and voip is patchy at best due to lag, the distance the signal has to travel to satellite and back to earth gives long ping times. However I know they are working on 3rd generation satellite etc. but still have thousands of kilometers to travel. Also tooway very expensive for regular web users. I agree speed for download not bad but monthly allowance very low 4GB on ^Mb package or 8GB on 8Mb package. This is great for occasional browsers and email users but no use for gamers,(ping time kills this too), youtube fans or video streaming, downloading music or movies etc.
Also install cost high for equipment etc.
Ireland where I live is mountains and hills all over and worse allot of trees etc, but wireless still gets to most customers in each area covered. I admit thick trees or a high building in the line of the access point and we cannot install, but that is rare if you have a 3 point coverage. I still find WISP the best alternative to all other systems other than cable and ADSL. However we ofter replace ADSL as lower cost if you don’t need the phone line as no line rental etc.
Hope this helps guys find a solution out there!
Jay
PS. I have coverage maps worked out for Gran Alacant and it is far easier to cover than Ireland as hills inland dropping to lower land towards the coast! Looks good I’m coming over in the next few months to take a look and asses if there is a need for a WISP in the area. Looking to set up WiMax or AirMax, with speeds up to 10Mb.
