A blast from the past

[JerryMungo]

Nietsky says to achieve the benchmark of downloading 20GB a month, a user would need about seven ADSL links, and although this will cost around R3 000 each month, "it's a lot cheaper than the R5 000 to R6 000 it would cost for a leased-line”.

It has taken 14 years to get to where we are to be fair...
20Gb a month? Software updates for 1 PC alone.

20 gig still takes me an entire day but yeah it's still a day compared to a month. I remember keeping to the 3gigs, then keeping to 10gigs when I was stuck with iburst and that was only 4 years ago. Though thanks to Telkom still stuck on 4meg

Should be half a day for a 4 Mbps line.

Yup but it's not only doing downloads and everyone else with their four meg lines seem to want to do their downloads at the same time
