The good news for many of us is that Eircom will be launching their WiMax service later on this year, with better coverage and reliablity than a lot of the wireless providers.
For users in Clane: Commsys has done a deal with the Community Council for sectors to be errected on the Abbey tower, despite a lot of protest.
For users in Allenwood: the planning application for the new tower beside the old power plant, with sectors for mobile phone and broadand equipment may hit severe problems. There is a large creche directly opposite the site and initial radiation readings are coming up with a "critical" reading, well up in the red from the existing mast at the front door of the creche. So the chances of expanding the sectors and output powers are small. Existing services on the mast may have to suffer a reduction in power, or may even have to cease totally. |
Are you serious? I can't figure out if you are taking the piss or not!! Anyway, I got rid of Callidus last month and got in Permanet. The quality of the service is unbeleivable compared to Callidus. I was with them for the last 2 years, well before they were Callidus. I actually got used to the dodgy latency and constant outages. But Permanet is just on a different level. (BTW, I don't have any connection with Permanet)
PS. In case you were serious, you know that any host on a network (Internet via cable, wireless, ehternet etc) are all equally as vunerable as each other? The fact that Callidus were using RFC 1918 address on the inside doesn't make it any different from, say Irish Broadband, using public address on their hosts. As longs as traffic can be routed or NAT'd to each other, then the same security concerns apply. That is, two hosts on a wire with addresses of 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 are just as vunverable as two hosts with public addresses. The bottom line is that any host should have some sort of security. Also, to say you could hack into an unprotected system in seconds in a little over exaggerated to be honest!
