living with the parent / family / friends is the best way to go these days ......... shit is expensive so if the load can be carried, nothing wrong.

Theres fsck all atm... No coverage by Neotel, 3g doesn't want to find a network...

Looking at all possible options atm (perhaps looking at getting a few serious boosters for coverage)

/fingers crossed

Bad reception or what?

Yep, that and a host of other reasons ..... they move the coverage, they suffer from an overload of subscribers already, the device busts easily ....... my biggest gripe was that despite being in 'Excellent' coverage, I've never gotten more than 2 bars out of 4 and never gotten speeds above about 30kbps .... the average is about 5kbps.
 
I'm with Neotel and at the moment things aren't too bad. I'm pretty close to the tower which is probably why. My latency in WoW averages between 350ms-650ms with the odd spikes leaping to 1000ms. For local gaming I'd say stay away....average lat is about 150ms-300ms.

And I suppose you don't really need a sprawling pad yet either ........ my criteria was - pool + granny flat + double garage + minimum 3 bedrooms + beeg garden ..... so the price range was way up there :o
