    Default SA bandwidth pigeon race on International site

    Just thought I'd put this in as an interesting point that sometimes even our SA problems make it to international sites

    How would that work anyway? A single match in HD would be more than enough to cap a "monthly account". Say you had 500 000 soccer fans trying to stream that match in HD... wow, that's a lot of bandwidth that Telkom would NOT be earning money off.
