IS international upgraded?

[ziglet]

Is it just because its 7am in the morning or are there some really clear skys in jhb? Cause IS int is flying, getting 100kb/s off 1torrent, did a speed test and got 120kb/s(with the torrent still going) and ping time to google is 440ms!

IS has a whole lot of spare bandwidth with their clients defecting to Verizon

clear skies in Cape Town as well, enjoy the bandwidth while you can, i beleive a cold front is on the way - thats if the sun doesnt doesnt affect the satellite before the cold front hits.

well thats the funny thing , everyone moves across , and then Verizons bandwidth becomes oversubscribed and the service becomes SH1TE, this is a popular trend, maybe this gives some hope for those who are stuck with IS

Was thinking about what a wonderful job it must be to be an IS satellite engineer.

I mean its not like that can do much if its cloudy and they cant even connect to the damn thing. Wonder if you have to be qualified in weather watching...
