Higher ADSL Speeds, but the wait may still be long for installations

The VOD agreement with multichoice should PLEASE end after the trial. They must go look for somebdy else for content. We don't want multichoice to bore us to death with their stupid repeats.

we have two 1024Mb adsl line at work (Mb being mega bits) it never went anywhere near it's 128KB (bytes) max fastest it got was 90KB/s so in theory upgrading the two lines should yield a speed of 360KB/s (kilo bytes)

1024kb /8 = 128KB

No prob :) He could be in Asia somewhere perhaps which is why I didnt immediately discount it as a typo - in which case I'd have to curse him for boasting. :D

I divide by 10 to take into account overheads - ATM I get around 102KB/s so I'm hoping for around 400 KB/s.
 
Actually, i'm beginning to wonder if this isn't a new scam of Telkoms...to increase line speed and then decrease the pricing on rental for the 384k and 512k lines, this will make up for ICASA's ruling and they won't lose cash as many will be tempted for the 4mb line. ;)

suits me, as long as they keep the 4mbps :)
 
oops! was a bit of a typo! 1024Kb/s a 1Mb/s adsl. wish it was 1Gbs.....:D
but ya if you devide by 10 taking overhead into account you shoul get about 400KB/s out of a 4Mb/s line
