We can go much faster

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 5 November 2007

Word is out that we still suck as a country when it comes to broadband speeds when compared to international standards. This leaves much room for improvement.

Two international broadband testing services, TCPIQ and Speedtest.net, have given South Africa the thumbs down.

TCPIQ…

‘According to TCPIQ Line Speed Meter’s worldwide results South Africa is third from the bottom for broadband speed. In the list of 30 countries South Africa only beats India and Indonesia and is ranked 28 th in terms of upload and download speeds’ (SA’s poor broadband speeds, MyBroadband, 31 October 2007).

In other words, South Africa’s ‘…mean download speed of around 300 Kbps and a mean upload speed in the region of 150 Kbps’ is simply not doing wonders for us (SA’s poor broadband speeds, MyBroadband, 31 October 2007).
