Hi
Im doing a research project on ADSL in South AFrica and i searched for the post with the latest reply hoping that there are people still viewing it at this time. I was hoping sum1 could tell me if Telkom has full control over all bandwidth in SA or does IS also have some control coz i read articles saying that telkom has full control but i just read on the Helkom info page: "Around 50% of a South African ISP's charges are Telkom-related." So could any1 plz clarify this 4 me. thanx!

mod note: post moved to its own thread from the MyADSL Conference feedback thread
 
Telkom controls the landing of the sat3/safe cables and hence the cable based international bandwidth. IS sends a fair bit of its international traffic via satellite but also leases from Telkom.
