So we can expect intermittent international while the upgrade is ongoing?

Stop upgrading the goddamn international links!!! The bottleneck is domestic

 

[Petec]

The saying goes: If I had a Rand for everytime I ...

Well, if we had a proportionate price decrease/speed increase for every meg of increase on international fiber landing on our shores, we would well be on international standard.

We all know the speed/price bottleneck is domestic. Telkom on it's own, directly contributes to inflation.

The problem is that the political parties and the mainstream press know sweet nothing about technology. Hence no pressure for the greedies to do anything but continue ream us a new one.
