P.S. on my previous reply. Reception is really sh1tty here in my area.
To get signal (at all) I had to resort to some serious measures:
My Modem is Cable Tied to my DSTV Dish on my roof (protected from sun and rain etc. though). Since the launch I got 100% signal but 2Kb MAX BW.
Now IT ROCKS AGAIN!

Very varying results
1) I ran Telkom's HTTP test:
* Download time: 92.094 seconds
* Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
* Estimated line speed: 44.3 (kilobits/second)
* Estimated line speed: 5.4 (kiloBytes/second)
Equivalent to a 56K dialup !!!!
b) The Telkom FTP Test :
* Average line speed: 40.98 (kiloBytes/second)
c) Test from www.broadbandreports.com (International site):
2005-04-14 17:02:00 EST: 180 / 47
Your download speed : 184370 bps, or 180 kbps.
A 22.5 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 48673 bps, or 47 kbps.
Look at http://www.broadbandreports.com/archive/co.za?s=180&r=769 for results from .co.za domains and Iburst results are some of the worst.
