Hi,
Thanks for sharing ur experience of using CW. I've been using CW since last August. Prior to that, I had asked NTL (of which we're subscribers for nearly 30 years for cable TV) for BB service, but our area isn't covered. When the engineer came to our house to set up the CW signal (the black box which displays up to 5 green lights), I was quite dubious it'd be that possible to get wireless BB connection successfully, but when I tried looking up various websites at home and abroad with much ease, I was more than delighted, particulary as we had Eircom landline cut off for over a year, due to our usage of mobile phones/e-mail at work.
Maybe we are lucky for the fact that our house faces 3-Rock/Dublin mountains with TV/radio/mobile transmitters which made it possible for trouble-free connection with CW. However, over the past few weeks, CW connection became erratic, and we suspect that it would be tall trees in way. Last week, connection worsened which drove us crazy, and my husband had to go up to the attic (fortunately with dormer windows) to set up the CW signal box, and connection was restored. Now, the signal box is brought down to the original location (upstairs bedroom) and connection back to normal.
Now i see it was windy conditions last week (and obstructions such as trees / buildings) which could have affected the CW BB connection.
Cheers,
