I visited them a while ago and was impressed by the company and the technology they developed. A class above all the other VoIP attempts.

I would have thought a better questions would have been " Why has Vodaphone/Vodacom not bought the rights to their codec (Fringe) and installed it on all their phones..?"
The writing is on the wall, and instead of Skype making money from their customers, why not do this themselves?

Skype killer
I installed Nimbuzz a while ago on my phone, and it's a spectacular piece of software.
On your phone it's a IM client, and you can stay logged into MSN, GTalk, Skype, etc all on the same client.
You can then click on a contact, and in stead of sending them a message, you also have the option to phone them. I phoned people in Canada from my cell, and connected to them via MSN running on their PC.
The quality was brilliant, as your cell make a local call to a local 011 number, and if you have free minutes, you can use them. So, by making use of my free minutes, I made a free call form my cell to a PC overseas. If the other person also run the client, you can connect to their cell phone for the price of a local call for you, and a local call (in the foreign country) for them.

i won't know. I never tried Fring, as Nimbuzz worked extremely well, so no need to try anything else.

Sounds like you're using ADSL?
Grab a calculator and work on an average of 40kb/s (in each direction).
