Just wondering if anyone else was having problems connecting to international sites. Weve got ADSL and passed the 3gig cap a couple days ago but have no problem with local sites only international. We havent been given any warnings by telkom like we normally get. Any ideas ?

once you pass the 3GB cap
you get put onto a slower network that seriously slows down your international browsing, but doesnt really affect your local connections

this is telkoms way of "evenly" sharing the available international bandwidth

this wouldnt be a problem except that the 3gb cap isnt only on international connections its on "total usage"

ah well hopefully telkom will introduce some bigger caps in the future

I heard that Orange was supposed to come to South Africa and that one of their features was if make a call to the same province as you're in, the call won't cost you a thing, what have you guys heard

...well if they do come thatl be great, where did you hear about this?

ah i cant wait for the day telkom has some competition,this can only be good news for us

well the news on the Second National Operator is that its on track for The 3rd Quarter of 2003 ....which means sometime in 2 years

still no news on who its going to be though or what policies theyl be forced to follow...
