Wireless Internet – FAQ
What is the whole process
- Apply for an internet connection using the pricing table
- We will contact you and make an appointment for a technician to conduct a site survey
- A quote is produced based on your needs and specifics of your premises. If the survey is unsuccessful, (no line of sight) we will discuss alternatives, if available
- Your payment will secure the installation. Once proof of payment is received (send to support@parys.co.za) your installation will be scheduled
- The debit order will be created and account activated
What is a survey
Fixed wireless internet requires a clear line of sight from your premises to one of our towers. We need to confirm that there are no trees or other structures in the way. Since we have various towers, we also use the survey to determine the best link and produce an accurate quote.
What is the installation Cost
The installation cost varies, each site is unique and we quote accordingly. The average cost for a basic installation ranges between R3500 and R5500. This includes a professionally installed antenna, router/s and the first month’s subscription.
Will my internet stay on during power outages
Our data centre and all our towers are equipped with battery and solar power backup. Should you connect your equipment to a UPS/ generator, your connection will work as normal during power outages.
Who owns the network
Our entire network is privately owned and maintained. We are not dependant on any 3rd party for repairs. This ensures quick turnaround in the rare case of a breakdown
Do you have redundancy
Our data centre is equipped with three separate upstream fibres, connecting us to the internet at 2 different internet exchange points using different routes.
