received word from my friend Uwe Thiem that Namibian Telecom has just rolled out it’s first ADSL services, I place his thoughts on it verbatim:


ADSL arrived in Namibia - well, at least in Windhoek and
Swakopmund So I got my shiny new ADSL modem/router yesterday. The boys from
Telecom didn’t know much about it. So I sent them home after they “installed”
the hardware. Took me half an hour to make it work = most of it reading the
excellent manual that comes with it. Now for the really good news: It is
blazingly fast. I ordered the smallest package available (256Kb/s bandwidth,
1GB data per month. Downloaded rather large files from overseas between
40KB/s and 110KB/s. I think Telecom has forgotten to put the bandwidth cap

"256K bandwidth" 1stly i didn't know u get 256K DSL, unless the ISP limits yur speeds. Cause here in SA (CPT,Joburg,Durbs,PE etc) we had a 192K and a 384K for the smaller DSL lines.. and the bigger one's are 1mbit... wich are all "upto 4mbit" now.

But u say your downloading at 40KB/s and 110KB/s..
That sounds more like 1mbit ADSL..
