It would be worth it if you signed on a weekend (or at least it should be). That is why I was asking. I had a look though and on a 384 even if everything went brilliantly, I would only be able to download 3.3GB. The 512 and 1024 options are more worthwhile. I don't need to do any uploading which cancels out the benefits a bit.telkomsuig said:If it is IS half of your 24 hours will be unuseable for international downloads so doesn't make economic sense to me...

1 day, 24 hours of 1mb uncapped: R200
UK:
31 days, 744 hours of 24mb uncapped: R300
How can anyone justify this? There is simply no excuse.
You could even just FTP the stuff from the international server to a SA server. The international server would get charged for the minimal bandwidth and we could pick up the stuff here.telkomsuig said:What can you say we live in SA
I really nice product for me would be a International server to do downloads and then backups of the downloads are couriered to SA on a weekly or bi weekly basis...

mooK said:Yeah, I know. It's just unnecessary to include the line charges because this example is so extreme even without it.
