Interesting map I found

[abjater]

We all love speed when downloading, and sheer boredom led me to discover this cool map last night. Compiled by one of the fellows at the Shuttleworth Foundation, its interesting to see what kind of pipes we have coming into SA. Pity we just can't see who's got what size links into the pipes !

Telegeography has a similar one for the world, but a bit pricey to buy the high def version !

Not really hey, although there are lots of high speed fibers connecting China and the rest of the world, but because of the government censorship (GFW of China), international speed is very limited.

I also felt it put our speeds into perspective.

Nice!

SAT3's not going to be the only link soon. Telkom best put some thought into their future relationship with SAT3 pronto.
