Uncapped 2Mbps Internet access for R49,532

[Gatecrasher]

So quite a bit cheaper than Vodacom and MTN...

 

[lordnokon]

eish and we thought we had it bad lol

 

[TrueSeeker]

Yeah those poor bitches have it even worse than we do.

 

[tortured]

Who cares if they pay that much and why should we not complain about our internet? Is South Africa aiming at becoming a country who hardly anyone has ever heard of or at least striving for 1st world status? (which I know is far, far...out of reach)

Anyway I will complain, because if we don't we surely will end up like those poor people.

 

[Fudzy]

I can see where our ISP's get their inspiration, except Cell C of course!

LOL!!!

Yeah that's right, R50 a gig is cheap.

 

[Mach III]

Do not let Vodacom/Mtn Read this article!!!

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Are we seriously using a country like Turkmenistan (a place in the middle of nowhere that many have not heard of or care about) to make ourselves feel better about the poor internet that we have on offer?

 

[San-DraX]

lol

R1500 for 64kbps uncapped!

That's 20GB maximum per month.

Actually, it says 64 kilobytes. That's kB, not kb. This works out to a 512kbps connection.

If it is meant to be 64kbps, then the writer of the article really needs to get his/her act together. How on earth can you write tech articles and not even know the difference between bits and bytes?

 

[McGuywer]

Poor guys.
I feel for you.
Hopefully something will change.

 

[Sodan]

At least it's not shaped (well, I assume it isn't, since the article doesn't mention anything about shaping).

 

[ike]

put out here so you feel that you not getting *that* screwed. oh, but we are...

Well, the kB, kb thing's got me going now, but other than that.. Shame..

 

[MiY4Gi]

I guess only the rich and famous will get 2Mbps accounts.

 

[joy_Energiser]

Is this suppose to make us feel better about how we are getting ripped off? We are not suppose to compare our self's to the ****test country, but the most advanced.

Pathetic.

This forum needs an "adult mode" so that we can opt to read the swear words if we wanted to - I would love to see all he words used in relation to Tel***

Yeah, there should be an option to enable swear words. It's really inconvenient.
