ADSL Broadband: Prevention better than
cure
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South
Africa), 12 February 2008
ADSL users have recently experienced problems with
their ADSL Broadband connections caused by a combination of factors: Cable theft, power outages, thunderstorms,
broken submarine cables, et cetera. In this article we will look at comical as well as ‘serious ways’ to prevent
those teething ADSL Broadband problems from surfacing
again.
Cable
theft…
This is a tough one at best because it’s clear that we’re sitting
with many ‘copper grabbers’ in South Africa that are more than willing to help with the removal of copper lines or
cables. Telkom is currently replacing copper based cables
with fiber optic cables but it’s clear that they are having a hard time keeping up with the ‘copper
grabbers.’
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) suggests that
Telkom hires Bushmen, little men dressed in browns, with bows and POISONED arrows. This should put a stop to the
POISON of cable theft that is sweeping across South Africa and that are causing problems for decent South Africans,
including ADSL users.
