[Roo!]

OUCH!!! Looks like we're in serious trouble. They'll need 2Tbps and Telkom can't even install a 512Kbps ADSL line properly

And Neotel? (VSNL cables)

Won't that help?

Arthur Goldstuck, MD of World Wide Worx, says the total capacity of the SAT-3, Safe and Eassy cables is about 890Mbps.

Not quite, in order as specified; 120Gbps + 130Gbps + 320Gbps = 570Gbps or just over 1/2 Tbps.

This of course is the ultimate capacity of the cables, however most will not be running to the max until required. Also not all the capacity is for SA only.
