F-me that expensive 4 such a slow speed.. Go telkom.
 
This my dear Sir does not make Telkom "great", it only means that we are marginally better off than the poor sods in Kenya.

Even by 3rd world standards Telkom still sucks !
 
Being ripped off by a company called Telkom is infectious.
 
But at least they are trying to do something about it

From http://allafrica.com/stories/200701230830.html

"The cost of international broadband is set to drastically reduce within 18 months after the Kenyan government confirmed that it is ready to adopt three different under sea cables provided through various routes. Bitange Ndemo, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Information and Communication said that Kenya was taking a three-pronged approach calculated to reduce the cost of international connectivity."

...

"KDN also stresses that its landing station at Mombasa will allow other carriers to co-locate therefore charging only electricity and services at a cost. According to the PS, the three options are meant to make Kenya competitive in the provision of international broadband. Ndemo underscored the need for the country to compete internationally and attract international businesses. He argued that the broadband purchased by international businessmen at a cost of USD 200, costs USD 7,500 in Kenya, therefore ruling the country out as an internet investment destination."
