These tables show how much South Africa’s broadband stinks

The latest Akamai State of the Internet report shows just how poor South Africa’s broadband access is.

We all know out internet sucks. And then?

How did we go backwards?

More people connecting at a slower speed?

Would be great to see the sample size.

And then we have stupid articles about "bandwidth hogs" who have only downloaded a tiny fraction of what these people have access to....

The report further showed that South Africa’s average broadband speed and average peak broadband speed are declining.

As evidenced by the recently introduced 1Mbps line speed + ISP 1Mbps products.

Go figure.

South Africa is at the bottom of the world. Not just our location on the planet, but everywhere else.

SA just jumped massively in the WEF comp report...from 126 to 19.

So its sucking a lot less than it did last year at least.

ADSL providers shaping the life out of accounts to drop pricing?
