Heard from a reliable source that our ADSL bandwidth in Oranjemund is about to be doubled up, no extra cost..... This is due to the new deep sea cable recently installed....

I will be moving up from 512 to 1 meg..... Let the good times continue....

I think the current slow speed is due to repair work being done on a cable that was damged on the 29th bear Keetmanshoop..... that's why the ATM's and speedpoints were down, we are running on one ring , not two... should be fixed soon...

It will be great if that does happen!  It has been very frustrating lately.  Not sure how these things work but my test gave me 168kb/s but I know from experience that I have never gotten much more than 20kb/s (and less than that this last week or so) download speed....?

Just tested our (supposed) 3G connection at work, twice in fact since I thought that there must be an error.  If anyone can find slower than this I'll be impressed!
