Nope - it's not true.
This article seems to be a vaguely disguised teklom advert.

Man... this is twak
"A note: bits (denoted with a lower-case b) refer to the speeds at which information is transferred, while bytes (denoted as a capital B) refer to the amount of information you can download. The latter is usually capped; in SA, this is typically 3 gigabytes (GB)
Thankfully, internet technology has improved to the extent that we can transfer information at speeds which are multiples of the 56kbps, making possible the streaming of audio and video, as well as having real-time telephone conversations with people on other continents, at a fraction of the fixed-line cost."
If you weren't technically adept before, you are now less technically adept after reading this twang. 56kbps... streaming audio and video.... real time telephone conversations.... while making toast and coffee...

Really - who defines broadband as this?
Instead of licensing sim cards and handguns they should license journalists because they're more likely to do harm. Do they not have fact checkers in this country?
EDIT - Sorry if I sound harsh but journalism shouldn't be a best effort service.
