local vs normal bandwidth???

[Freeksta]

hey guys...


please can some1 give me a brief understanding of what is regarded as local bandwidth and normal bandwith???

I assumed all .co.za was regarded as local, but apparently I was wrong...

Normal bandwidth = Internet access worldwide
Local Bandwidth = Any internet website or service hosted within South Africa

The high telecoms costs in SA means that most co.za websites host in the US or UK as the cost of hosting a website or internet related service there is a fraction of what it costs to do the same in SA and in most cases international hosting providers provide better service, turnaround time and uptime.
