From what I gather this is a UK government initiative.

 

[Sneeky]

Rofl, using the words 'government' and 'initiative' in this country in the same sentence should be a crime in itself.

I did preface it with UK on order to give the statement some creditability

 

[Crash]

Holy crap.

I'd run out of stuff to download in about 4 days.
Whoa.

I'm still trying to work out just how much data you could theoretically transfer over like a year...what is 1000TB called again??

 

[willirob]

This is the prelude to IPTV - the telcoms are pushing it over there. Next big thang.

 

[albert123]

if telkom were to do this....

"you have reached your cap" after about 16 seconds?

 

[bekdik]

Holy crap.

Whoa.

If you used it here, you'd be capped in a couple of hours, so you wouldn't.

At least you'd still have something to do the next month

 

[Gaz{M}]

1000TB = PB (PetaByte)

 

[Peter7]

So when are we moving to the UK?

 

[Slinky511nx7]

How long would you think it takes to download the internet if you have enough storage, if hypothetically such a thing is possible.??? A few months? A year or 2?

Whoa.

Aha... but herein lies the catch 22... the internet would be your hard drive... no need to download...

Now that would really take the fun out of it... be thankful for Telkom... (NOT!)

Wanting anything more than 192kbps is just being greedy.

trust me dude when you get a taste of 1024k adsl, you will not understand how you managed with the 192k.

 

[WillS]

trust me dude when you get a taste of 1024k adsl, you will not understand how you managed with the 192k.

Not with 3GB cap

 

[albert123]

Not with 3GB cap

Which is why you get your company to get you a bigger cap

 

[Telkomisaloser]

trust me dude when you get a taste of 1024k adsl, you will not understand how you managed with the 192k.

true true true

Not with 3GB cap

also true

...their symmetric 10 Mbps service will cost users just under R 100-00 per month

10 times Telkoms best effort at about a tenth of the cost. WOW
