wow. sucks to be them.
reminds me of the "dark ages" .... 6 months ago, when i had a prepaid wireless setup.
This customer is using a 512 ADSL connection and they are using a different ISP to Telkom SA. So it would depend on how that ISP is shaping the account. With this said however our broadband this side sucks all in all.
We are also restricted to bandwidth I have two broadband accounts of 3 Gig each. Every day I get my usage report that looks like the below I won't go into other short falls we have to contend with as well. We are most likely paying more for this than what any other country is
The cost is as follows
Broadband account 3Gig = $68.48 per month
ADSL line rental = This you also pay for, don't have the cost of this right now but add this to your Broadband account

You will notice that we have a good size of local bandwidth, the only problem is most .co.za site are still hosted international because the high cost of hosting in South Africa. I know I do all my hosting in the USA and it is still far cheaper for me even with a 7 to 1 exchange rate
Maybe the guys in District 9 have something to do with why it is so slow,
