ADSL in Africa

[MrJones]

Just thought of good idea, we need to all put our heads together and do some research on the web as to the costs of ADSL in other African countries (those that have). Telkom is always telling us that it is not a true reflection of costs when comparing with 1st world countries, so lets have a look and see what the rest of Africa is like.
