I am trying to access the DSTV on demand Website at http://www.dstvbroadband.co.za but it takes forever to load.

Also, I wasn't able to log on using a local-only ADSL account.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Which moegoe told you that?
1. The IP address is local
2. I access it via local...
3. You can use a .com anywhere in the world. It only points to an IP address.

I know this thread is old, but DSTV on demand can't be accessed when you're over your cap and only on local. It may be hosted locally, but to log on with your user name and password and get media rights you need international bandwith.
