it is unbelievably good considering it comes from the other side of the world, live.

(oh also it chows about 1mb per minute so you can use it if you want to see what telkom does if you reach your cap for some reason )

You can also sit and take local speed tests screenshots and email them to your friends with 384 ;) LoL

Also a very nice list of channels available with Free Internet TV program, a lot easier to flip through channels aswell:

I'm on an IS local only account. My 4 Mbps line is pretty much useless ;)

But, MyADSL opens nice and fast though :D

You could make use of South Africa SABC high quality news stream, it might even be HDTVQ(Hardly declarable television quality). It seems to be the best quality one available in SA.

well its about 1meg per minute. so you will get to about 3000 minutes which if you play 9 hours a day you will have a week of tv on your 3gb cap :) but i presume watching a restaurant for 9 hours a day can get moer boring, i mean have you ever gone to Dros and just sat there looking at the people?
