Re: 2 New Internet options from Sasktel

The Total cost i posted for the wireless is a bit misleading.

I stated the equipment was 249... but i didn't say much about the installation fee. The install fee is another $250, so after it's all said and done it's a $500 touch just to get everything set up...

Other Sasktel dealers may have a lower installation fee... this is just the fee from Jump.ca

900Mhz is a good choice for long distance coverage where line of site is iffy. Remember that attenuation of wireless signals is related to frequency. 5Ghz has much less range than 900Mhz, and 2.4Ghz is somewhere in the middle. So if your house is bordeline light of site with the tower, convince your neighbour to try it first before you buy. At 900Mhz it might work.

I'm not sure about this... but i'd think that Sasktel would be using a licensed frequency and not a public one. This is just a guess... I'm not sure what they're using.

confirmed... it's not 900mhz... it's lower, although I don't think I'm allowed to be giving out exact details. But the frequency is licensed to Sasktel.

do you have any idea what kind of wireless equipment they are using.

we run a small wisp on the east coast and we like to know what the big boys are doing.

thanks
