Expensive International bandwidth - telkom's never ending bleat.

Give us downstream satellite at these prices.

negotiate adsl link with telkom and give it to the public at R400.00
(1GB international upstream - unlimited local up/download)

then we could have 7GB INTERNATIONAL per month for less than R700.00

hehe its only expensive because they say it is and a 4.5bill profit proves it aint

but how is satellite for gaming? i've read that the satellite latency sucks.

i actually think telkom has a satellite backup if SAT3 goes down.

It does indeed (minumum of 600ms I think) but this type of connection would be of great benifit to businesses and schools. Especially those in the middle of nowhere.
