    Yeah I know a few people using them in the Dowra area, they are finding it quite slow tough. What specifically did you want to know ?

    There is very little information on their website, what kind of speeds do they manage.

    Last time I heard they had 2 products a 256KB for €20 a month and a 512KB for €40 a month. I think they also have an installation charge.

    So what you meant was Groupnet have now got/are getting connected to fibre ?
    Good stuff out of them if they have .

    Anyway if you haven't seen "Wireless fibre optics " as ya put it ( eg http://www.usa.canon.com/html/industrial_canobeam/canobeam/canobeam130.html)
    I dunno where you are insulting Sponge bob. Fair chance he probably knows the lads who connected it up...

    Eh!...are you telling me that they were never connected to a fibre backhaul in the beginning? If not what were they using? All wireless ISP's have a fibre or licensed wireless backhaul.
