captineso 3G not an option.  we dont have DSTV so we stream youtube content etc12:37
Kilosah ok12:37
captinemy modem used to say max speed was 26mbps, but I see now it says 12... i am on a 10mbps packadge, so I guess telkom changed something on my line12:38
captinelol12:38

captineah12:42
captinenice12:42
not_foundit all depends on your bandwith too12:42
captineI had a 6meg uncapped cable when living in Manila12:42
not_foundI upgraded to a 20mb down 5mb up line...12:43
captinewas nice, but their internet was touch and go... very oversold.  6meg from your house to their server only12:43
not_found2.5MB download :D12:43
not_foundMB/s12:43

not_founduae12:44
captineah12:44
not_foundthey offering 300mb lines here now >.<12:45
captinecrazy12:46
not_foundvery expensive but still... that is almost 40MB a second...12:47
Kiloswow12:48
not_founddownload 1gb in 30 seconds12:48
Kiloshaha not_foundi dont suppose you bother about saving downloaded packages12:50
Kilosquicker to just get them again12:51
not_foundnope... less hassle re-downloading than finding the external and plugging it in...12:51
not_foundwell not always true12:51
not_foundsome  files can be very big12:51
Kiloswho cares with that kinda uncapped12:51
not_foundI don't have such a fast line...12:53
not_foundgigabytes still take a while12:53
captineoneday, hopefully, the government will wake up here12:54
not_foundit is coming...12:54
not_foundwas reading some interesting articles... afaik there is a new line almost online to connect SA12:55
not_foundwill really boost the bandwidth afaik12:55
captinelast mile is my issue12:55
Kilosnew line from where?12:56
captineand lack of google data centre in SA.  We need some big data centre's to be housed here for africa... although when the line runs from the UK, there is perhaps little need for a centre so far south12:56
Kilosanother undersea cable12:56
not_foundnot entirely sure where and when and how but it is supposed to be the start of real speed and availability boosts12:57
not_foundif telkom plays along :p12:57
Kilosyeah lets hope12:57
captinemy issue is all the focus is on LTE and wireless instead of solid copper and fibre to the home.  12:58
Kilostheir 3g is the best ive had and the most stable12:58
not_foundproblem with laying cable is it is expensive and takes long13:01
