I have been off/on, on these forums and this thread caught my eye as I predicted the service would be poor. There is more to setting up an ISP than having the hardware. Forgive me if this offends you but I clearly remember Baego marketing greendot and trying to get persons contracted to the greendot service.
Baego as a site admin you should have taken more care in investigating this company and not be taken in by marketing. I of recent got word that you are the leader of this institution and hold a nice job at a prominant company, your influence amongst this community is great, it is your duty to guide them to success and not to peril. With high positions come high responsibility, it is your burden. The idea of a Gaming WAN is a good idea but the greendot infrastructure is NOT the answer.
Hey I am all for dis assembling the TSTT monopoly, but I am not going to leave the TSTT dsl service for something thats not as good, heck GD is closer to TSTT dialup than dsl. I have a friend who has the service, I warned him about GD, I told him it would be better to get TSTT DSL, he argued that he was getting it free, so 'no scene'. I now feel this guys pain, while he can check mail surf sites and get a slightly above average(dialup) download speeds the downtime, its just not worth it in comparison to TSTT.
"Lucas boy, this thing is shit, the net down again"
A valid point was made, 'When rain falls, tv doesnt go out', while this sounds good, have you ever seen your speeds diminish as a result of downpours? I have witnessed such with GD! I dont have reasoning for it, but it happens. Not to mention the latency also takes a beating as a result of rain.
While everything looks good on paper, things dont always come out the way we would like it.
